In situations where an UNBAL-
ANCED signal is fed to the amp, its
important to ground the unused
input. If the inverting (-) input of an
amp channel is left floating, the chan-
nels gain will drop by 6 dB. In effect,
the amp will not be as loud. For more
information about this, ask your dealer
or contact Crest Audio Technical
Support directly.
