DI OUTPUT - This 1/4" stereo jack socket is used to connect the amplifier to a low
impedance, balanced input on a PA system or recording mixer. The signal can be
taken PRE or POST EQ (see above), ie with or without the tone shaping added by
the EQ section of the amplifier.
LINE INPUT - This 1/4" jack socket is used to connect the output of line level devices
such as samplers and sound modules.
SPEAKER OUTPUTS - There are dedicated Speakon connectors for 2, 4 and 8! load
speaker cabinet configurations. It is important that the correct output or outputs are
used to match the impedance load of your cabinets. Please refer to the diagrams
later in this manual.
OFF/PREHEAT - Use this switch to pre-heat the valves, bringing them up to the
correct operating temperature before performing.
STANDBY/FULL - No signal is sent to the speakers when this switch is in the
STANDBY position. Switch to FULL when you are ready to perform.
