XLR input connector should be wired as follows:... -
Page 9: Binding Post(Bp)Output Connectors
Binding Post outputs The outputs on The TD-14000 amplifiers produce high voltage. Do not connect or disconnect the loudspeaker cables while the mains power is on. Never operate the amplifier with any portion of bare loudspeaker wore exposed. -
Page 10: Amplifier Gain
3 dB steps. Individual channel fine level adjustment is available using the potentiometers on the front panel. The unique adjustable input gain feature of the TD-14000 makes it easier to attain the optimum balance between headroom and signal-to-noise ratio in the signal path. A weak signal at the input might require the gain to be raised in order to achieve maximum output power with the lowest signal-to-noise ratio. -
Page 11: Protection, Faults And Warnings
If there is no short circuit present, then the NOTE condition may be rectified by lowering the VPL or input levels. Protection, faults and warnings The TD-14000 amplifier incorporate a sophisticated and comprehensive set of protection features. Faults and warnings are indicted on the front panel. -

TD-14000 AMPLIFIER Operation and Performance Precautions Introduction Front Panel Rear Panel Safe Operating Area Detector(SOAD) The Safe Operating Area Detector(SOAD) compares output voltage against output current to enure that the output transistors are working inside their safe operating area. The SOAD provides fault monitoring and input to the Current Peak Limiter 9CPL0. The SOAD has no dedicated indicator, and it operation is revealed only in conjunction with features such as the CPL. -
