CONNECTION
Connect the amplifier in either Stereo or Bridged Mono mode as shown above.
Turn the unit off before making any connection changes.
INPUTS
The RA900 inputs are XLR balanced, or 1/4” unbalanced.
OUTPUTS
The output terminals take a standard banana type plug, or they may be un-
screwed so the end of the wire may be stripped and inserted into the hole on the
top of the terminal - then tightened.
GROUND LIFT
The Ground Lift switch has been provided to disconnect the circuit ground from
chassis ground. This may help eliminate unwanted ground hum or buzz.
OPERATING VOLTAGE
The serial number of your RA900 will indicate the correct AC operating voltage.
Connecting the unit to the wrong voltage may damage the amplifier.
LOW CUT FILTER
The Low Cut Filter removes ultra-low frequency content from the audio signal that
could possibly damage or cause distortion in a loudspeaker system. The DIP
switch on the rear panel enables or disables the filter independently for each
