and Connectors
I. Stereo/Mono Switch
Allows selection of Stereo, Bridge-Mono,
or Parallel-Mono operation.
J. Compressor Switch
Controls the channel's error-driven com-
pressor. Selections include Off; Fast (4-

release); and Slow (12-millisecond attack,
600-millisecond release).
K. Loudspeaker Offset Integration
Switch
Allows the Loudspeaker Offset Integration
(LOI) circuit to be enabled or disabled. See
Section 5.2.4 for more info about LOI.
L. Sensitivity Switch
Three-position switch. Allows the selec-
tion of 26 dB; 1.4V; or 0.775V input
sensitivity.
M. Power Cord
N. Output Connectors
High-current output block accepts banana
plugs, spade lugs or bare wire. A detatch-
able output cover, shown in Figure 4.3,
protects against accidental short circuits
and dangerous electrical shock.
DANGER: The outputs can produce
lethal energy levels! Do not change
the output wiring unless the ampli-
fier has been off for at least 10 sec-
onds.
Note: Some international models include
high-current binding posts rather than the
output block. Figure 4.4 shows the inter-
national binding posts.
