OPERATORS MANUAL

QUICK START

You gots your good habits, and you gots your bad habits. A good habit is to read at least this much of the manual. A bad
habit is not to read any of this manual. Reading just this section can prevent grief worse than your worst nightmare. Grief
that's hard to get rid of—harder than a bad habit.
Be sure the amplifier is off before making any connections. Euroblock speaker connectors make connecting the ampli-
fier easy. They are just like little snap-on terminal blocks that take up to 12 gauge wire. Gold plated RCA connectors take
standard unbalanced sources. See Rane Note 110 for more information about other connectors. Keep your input cable
lengths as short as possible. Speaker loads should be no less than four ohms per output. If you are running multiple speak-
ers per Channel in series or parallel, check your final impedances.
If you are running six separate Channels (unbridged), be sure all the BRIDGED switches on the rear panel are de-
pressed. If you are running any Channels bridged, you are obviously a power user and we highly recommend you read
further into the manual regarding this issue.
With Input and Output connections completed, be sure all front panel LEVEL controls are all the way counterclock-
wise. Now flip the POWER switch and after hearing the relays click in after a second, notice that the READY lights come
on. Slowly turn up each Channel's LEVEL control to the desired gain and if all is well you should hear something pleasant.
If not, re-check connections, put on a better CD, and read more of the manual.

    FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION 1. POWER switch: Obediently turns the SSA 6 on and off every time you poke it with your finger (or other suitable object). All six Channels have delayed turn-on/instant turn-off relays to eliminate any switching transients. 2. THERMAL overload indicator: This red LED lights up if the SSA 6 becomes too hot, indicating that power has been removed from all six Channels.

    (See #2 for Bridged operation). 4. AC line cord: Plug this into a grounded AC outlet of l20VAC (or 240VAC if the SSA 6 is internally wired for 240V operation). NOTE: If you use an adapter to plug the SSA 6 into a non-grounded outlet (three-to-two prong adapter), be sure to screw the ground adapter to the outlet by means of the cover plate screw.
