1 Quick Introduction to the ES 40

Thank you for choosing a Stage Accompany Power Amplifier. Making this choice has guaran-
teed you many years of troublefree amplification.
If you have to start using the ES 40 straight away and do not have time to read the complete
manual, make sure that you at least read the following:
•
Ensure that you have a reliable, well earthed power source. The required current for
the ES 40 can be found in the table in paragraph 3.1.
•
Connect the ES 40 to your signal sources via the <INPUT> connectors. Connect this
amplifier to other units via the <LINK> outputs using short signal leads. Connect your
single signal source to the channel 1 input and your speaker system to the channel 1
output if you use the ES 40 in bridge mode.
•
Never make connections to the amplifier or to any preceding equipment with the ampli-
fier switched on!
Important
When combining ES 40s with a Stage Accompany Blue Box system, you must take into account
that the low-frequency loudspeaker of the Blue Box has an excursion opposite to that of a normal
speaker-amplifier combination. The Blue Boxes in combination with the ES 40s have to be
switched to inverted phase, or cross cables for ES 40s or Blue Boxes have to be used!
•
Switch the ES 40 on using the <POWER ON/OFF> switch.
If you want to use the ES 40 in bridge mode, set the <MODE> switch at the back of the amplifier
in the <BRDG MODE> position.
•
Select the desired input sensitivity by means of the <INPUT ATTENUATORS>. In
bridge mode, only use the channel 1 attenuator.
•
Any hum that may be present may be solved with the <GROUND LIFT> switch.
The ES 40 is now ready for use.
