The Falcon Series amplifiers are configured standard with "Pin 2 hot" on XLR inputs. The Link connector can be used to loop the audio Input to another amplifier Input.
  • Page 11: Mode Selection

    Mode Selection The two-position, Mode Select switch (located on the rear panel) configures the amplifier for either Stereo or Bridged Mono Mode. Amplifiers are factory-configured for Stereo Mode. Stereo Mode In Stereo Mode, both channels operate independently, with their input attenuators controlling their respective levels.

    Connection Cables Take care of your cables, always holding them by the connectors and avoiding knots and twists when coiling them: This gives the advantage of increasing their life and reliability. Periodically check your cables. A great number of problems (faulty contacts, ground hum, discharges, etc.) are caused entirely by using unsuitable or faulty cables.
