BALANCED INPUT CONNECTOR (INPUT IMP 58K EACH LEG)
This.input.connector.accepts.standard.'XLR'.or.1/4".Phone.jack.(Tip-Ring-Sleeve)...Use.quality,.100%.shielded.
cables.with.gold plated.connectors.


SINGLE ENDED INPUT
This.input.connector.
gold plated.connectors.
Balanced input Vs Single ended input:
The.balanced.input.requires.a.balanced.pre-amp.source..Balanced.systems.provide.noise.rejection.from.external.
electrical.interference,.so.cable.length.can.be.very.long.(.50m.or.longer.)..
The.single.ended.or.unbalanced.input.is.provided.for.pre-amps.without.balanced.output..Single-ended.cables.should.
be.kept.to.20'.(7m).or.less..In.general.never.use.longer.cables.than.necessary,.never.coil.excess.cable.length,.and.
keep.signal.wires.away.from..AC.power.or.speaker.cables.

LEVEL CONTROL
The.level.control.will.attenuate.the.input.signal.level.from.0dB.through..-14dB.

OUTPUT BINDING POSTS
The.RED.binding.post.is.the.in-phase.amplifier.output..Connect.to.this.post.the.(+).terminal.on.the.loudspeaker.
The.BLUE.binding.post.is.the.inverted-phase.amplifier.output..Connect.to.this.post.the.(-).terminal.on.the.loudspeaker.
NOTE: At no time should either output be connected to a ground, or chassis. Failure of the amplifier may
result..
Never connect either output in parallel with another amplifier.
The minimum recommended loudspeaker load is 4 ohms.
The.Output.binding.posts.provide.three.different.interconnect.options..Combinations.may.be.used.when.bi-wiring..See.
figure.2.below..Cables.should.be.kept.as.short.as.practical.and.should.never.be.terminated.with.connectors.that.may.
become.confused.for.AC.power.connectors..Cables.should.be.dressed.away.from.input.and.power.cables.
BANANA PLUGS

 CIRCUIT BREAKER / POWER SWITCH
SST 2
The.14B .amplifier.uses.a.magnetic-trip.circuit.breaker.to.protect.the.amplifier..This.circuit.breaker.is.integrated.
with.a.rocker.style.power.switch.which.not.only.connects.or.disconnects.the.amplifier.from.mains.power.but.is.
also.used.to.reset.the.circuit.breaker.should.it.trip..This.switch.should.be.'OFF'.during.installation.so.that.all.power.
is.removed.from.the.amplifier...After.installation,.this.switch.should.be.turned.on.and.left.on..Use.the.front.panel.
