Setting Channel Levels
The A6 features independent Level Adjustment Potentiometers for each of its six channels. Use a small Phillips
screwdriver to independently adjust each channel of the amplifier for the specific speakers and environmental con-
ditions of the area it is powering. Turning the potentiometers clockwise increases the level, while turning it counter-
clockwise decreases the level. Factory default is 50%.
Set the levels by first lowering them all the way down, then raise the volume of any keypads or volume controls to
maximum. Slowly increase the level of the channel being adjusted by turning the potentiometer clockwise until the
channel begins to distort, then reduce the level slightly (turn counter-clockwise) until distortion is no longer present.
Follow this procedure for each channel.

BUS MODE Setting
The BUS MODE switch for the A6 is located on the back panel with the Line Input jacks. Audio signals connected to
the # 1 & 2 channels of the A6's LINE INPUT will be routed to channels 3 & 4, and 5 & 6 internally completely eliminat-
ing the need for patch cables.
