7. In
BRIDGED
mode, connect an input cable
to
CHANNEL 1
’s
INPUT
or
CHANNEL 2
. If
you want to use both inputs, the two input
signals are summed internally to produce a
mono signal.
8. In
STEREO
and
MONO
modes, connect
speaker cables to the
SPEAKER OUTPUTS
, using either the binding post or
Speakon® connectors.
• The binding post connectors are wired
red = hot (+) and black = cold (–).
• See page 35 for Speakon wiring details.
9. In
BRIDGED
mode, connect the speaker
cable like this: the positive (+) wire goes in
the
CHANNEL 1 SPEAKER OUTPUT’
s
red
post and the negative (–) wire goes in
CHANNEL 2’
s red post. Plug nothing into
the black posts. There is also a single
Speakon connector for
BRIDGED
mode
(see page 35).
10. Connect the other ends of the speaker
cables to your loudspeakers.
11. Plug the amp’s power cord
into a
3-prong AC outlet properly configured for
the type of plug supplied with your amplifier,
and capable of delivering at least 20 amps
(for the 120V model). See page 29.
12. Make sure your signal source (feeding the
M•2600’s inputs) is powered up and
delivering signal to the amp.
13. Turn the M•2600’s
POWER
switch on
and verify that the
SIG
LEDs are
showing an input signal is present.
14. Slowly turn both
GAIN
controls up:
You should hear the music and see the
SIG
and meter LEDs flashing.
If the topmost LEDs (named
OL
, for
overload) are flashing, turn down either
the
GAIN
controls on the amp or the
source signal’s output level controls (i.e.,
master faders). The point is: The
OL
LEDs
should not light up.
15. For quieter listening, it is preferable to
adjust the amp’s
GAIN
controls rather
than the source signal’s output level
(unless you have the source’s control all
the way up!).
16. Start dancing, but don’t let the ants out of
your pants.
Things You Must Remember:
• Never plug amplifier
outputs into anything
except speakers (unless
you have an outboard box
specifically designed to
handle high-power
speaker-level signals).
Before making connections to an amp or
reconfiguring an amp’s routing, turn the
amp’s level (
GAIN
) controls down, turn
the power off, make the changes, turn
the power back on, and then turn the
level controls back up.
If you shut down your equipment, turn
off the amplifiers first. When powering
up, turn on the amplifiers last.
Save the shipping boxes! You may need
them someday, and you probably don’t
want to have to pay for them again.
