6 QUICK GUIDE OVERVIEW

6.1 front-Panel overview
The amplifier's front panel presents the performance
and fault condition indicators, power and remote
switches, and a removable dust-filter cover. Level
potentiometers provide individual attenuation for the
amplifier channels. Range is 0 dB to - infinity. (The
12 o'clock position indicates -10 dB attenuation.) A
convenient label strip with writing surface is provided
adjacent to each level potentiometer.
To remove the dust-filter covers, loosen the thumb-
screws located underneath the front handles. This
allows removal of the dust-filters for cleaning. The
covers may be made "tamper resistant" by replacing
the thumbscrews with Philips head or safety Torx
screw. Thread size is M3.
The amplifier never should be operated
without the dust-filters in place.

6.1.1 Power on/off and remote switch

The Power on/off switch is located on the right side.
A second switch, labeled "REMOTE," is above the
Power switch. When the Remote switch is on (with
mains connected and power on/off switch on), the
yellow LED above it will illuminate indicating that
external power on/off commands from the NomadLink
network connection will switch the amplifier on or
off. When Remote is activated the amplifier will not
switch on until a "Power On" command is received
from the network. When the remote switch is off,
it is not possible to switch amplifier power on or off
using NomadLink network control.
