mono signal and to direct it as balanced mono signal to the PA system. Using the MERGE LINK / IN switch, the
LINK out can be converted to a second input. In this case, stereo outputs of the instrument are connected to
a PAN16 channel via the two jacks (INPUT and LINK / IN) and the switch is pressed down. The mono summed
looped signal is present on the rear panel LINK socket.

The PAN16 can also be used to feed speaker signals into a mixer. To do this, connect the amplifier output with
the "Input" socket and loop the signal to the speakers via the "LINK" socket. Both cables must be speaker
cables with an appropriate cross-section. As speaker signals have a much higher level than instrument and
line signals, the PAD button must be used to attenuate the volume level. A total of three attenuation levels are
available: -10 dB, -20 dB, -30 dB (both PAD switches pressed down). To avoid clipping, the amplifier power
should not exceed 100 watts.
CAUTIoN!
PoWER AMPLIFIERS USING TUBE TECHNoLoGY ALWAYS NEED A CoRRESPoNDING LoAD AT THE oUTPUT. A
TUBE AMPLIFIER SHoULD NEVER BE CoNNECTED To THE PAN16 WITHoUT A SPEAKER. THIS MIGHT RESULT
MoST LIKELY IN THE DESTRUCTIoN oF BoTH DEVICES.
GnD lift Switch
In conventional microphone cables, the cable shield is connected on both ends of the xLR connector to PIN 1.
This leads to grounding for these devices and as a result may cause the so-called ground loop hum. But since
it is sufficient to connect the ground on one side only for shielding purposes, the "GND LIFT" switch on the
PAN16 enables the separation of the PIN 1 from the ground. This prevents ground loops and associated hum-
ming noises. In practical use, by trial and error, choose the position of the switch which causes the least noise.
GRounDinG of the houSinG of the pan16.
For 19" equipment, grounding of the housing is almost exclusively done through the common rack rail. In
order to avoid duplication of this grounding, the housing is not connected internally to the electronic ground. If
the PAN16 is not installed in a rack, and operating noise occurs, connect the housing for example, via a screw
on the front panel mounting with a suitable mass.
Please do not place the PAN16 in the vicinity of strong alternating magnetic fields, such as power transform-
ers. There is a risk of inducing a hum in the audio transformer.
