fi nd a home for your new amplifi er
Before you use your amplifi er, be sure to place it on a surface
with adequate ventilation. Do not put it on thick carpeting,
which can restrict air fl ow, or near a heat source such as a
heat vent or radiator, which can cause it to overheat.

the controls on the audio input source and amplifi er to avoid

connecting your amplifi er

connecting input sources

You can connect optional components, such as microphones,
tuner, turntable, audio mixer, preamplifi er, or CD player
to your amplifi er to expand your system. To prevent hum
and other noise, use low-capacitance shielded cable. Your
local RadioShack store carries a wide selection of audio
components and connecting cables.
• This amplifi er is equipped with both stereo phono
input and ¼-inch (6.35mm) jacks. The ¼-inch
NOTES
input jacks on the top are stereo while the others
are left and right mono.
• Before you make any connections, be sure POWER
on the front of amplifi er is out and AC power cord
is not plugged in.

connecting microphones

You can connect up to four high- or low- impedance
microphones to the microphone inputs on the back of the
amplifi er. Each input (labeled MIC1, MIC2, MIC3, and MIC4)
has a balanced and unbalanced jack. You need a microphone
with a ¼-inch (6.35mm) plug to connect to an unbalanced
jack or a microphone cord with a 3-pin XLR plug to connect
to a balanced jack.
