INSTALLATION RACK- The 9180/9270 Amplifier is supplied in either a 17” Black Version, or a 19” Silver Version. The 19” MOUNTING model has rackmounting holes provided for installation in equipment racks. The holes are on standard EIA spacings. Due to conflict with adjacent equipment, it may be advisable to remove the four rubber feet from the bottom of the unit.

In the Mono Mode, the Left Gain Control effects the overall gain of the amplifier. The Right Gain Control has no effect. MONO/ The 9180/9270 Amplifier may be operated in the normal two channel Stereo Mode, or may be STEREO converted (bridged) to a higher power, single channel amplifier in the Mono Mode.
The final output stage uses multiple lateral MOSFET’s (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors): four devices per channel in the 9180, and six per channel in the 9270. These devices, unlike conventional bipolar transistors, have a negativetemperature coefficient, which means that they do not exhibit “thermal runaway”.
CHANGING LINE The 9180/9270 Amplifier is equipped with a simple means to adjust the AC line voltage rating for VOLTAGE RATING 100, 120, 220, or 240 volts AC, 50/60 Hz. The configuration is labelled above the power cord connector.
Repeat steps #2,3, 4, 5 and 6 for the other channel. Replace the covers. The 9180/9270 Amplifier contains five internal fuses: one for AC line power, and four for DC power GENERAL supplies. These fuses should not generally blow unless a malfunction has occurred. These fuses...
Do not use any abrasive cleaners or solvents. Unplug the power cord before attempting any cleaning operations. Except as specifically detailed in the owners manual, there are no user serviceable parts or adjustments inside the 9180/9270 Amplifier, and all servicing should be referred to qualified, authorized personnel.
