just the source level control to minimize clip-
ping.
12 POSITION PHOENIX INPUT CONNEC-
TION
The six unbalanced inputs are connected via 12
position phoenix connector. The pinouts are
labeled on the rear of the TA6300.
GROUND LIFT SWITCH
The GROUND/LIFT is provided to eliminate
ground loops between this amplifier and a
preamplifier that can occur in certain installa-
tions.
OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
Output connections are via five-way binding
posts, identified as to polarity with red and black
terminals. We suggest the use of dual banana
plugs as a convenient and reliable method of
hook-up. They allow rapid removal for polarity
reversals. This feature is often necessary in the
check out and adjustment of multi-element
biamplified and triamplified sound systems.
Heavy Class 11 wire may be used by unscrew-
ing the large plastic portion of the output termi-
nal and inserting the wire into the hole provided.
Note: It is extremely important when making
wire connections that no wire stand or end
touches an adjacent terminal!
A 9 pin D-type subminiature connector is pro-
vided for quick connection to SMART’s MN600
Cinema STEREOCHECK booth monitor through
a standard 9 pin D-type male to female cable.
AIR INTAKE
Two DC fans are provided. Fan guards are
provided to protect from any large debris stop-
ping the fans or getting inside the amplifier. Fan
air filters may be purchased from the factory.
NOTE: Air filters must be clean at all times to
assure proper amplifier cooling. A periodic
maintenance schedule is recommended de-
pending on environmental conditions.
AC POWER CORD
The TA6300 is pre-wired at the factory for the
voltage indicated on the rear panel or on the
power cord of the amplifier. Plug the power
cord into an AC outlet that will deliver the
proper voltage and current for amplifier opera-
tion.
CAUTION:
The TA6300 amplifier is a product of the most
advanced technology and manufacturing tech-
niques and is fully protected against overheat-
ing, input overload and shorted or mismatched
loads. As is the case with any precision instru-
ment, some care should be taken in the unit’s
operation. The following precautions should be
noted and adhered to. Damage resulting from
their omission is not covered under the terms of
the warranty.
DO NOT PARALLEL THE OUTPUTS OF ANY
CHANNELS BY CONNECTING THEM TO-
GETHER OR PARALLELING THEM WITH ANY
OTHER AMPLIFIER OUTPUT. UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE AMPLIFIER
BE OPERATED WITH THE COVER REMOVED.
THERE ARE NO USER SERVICEABLE COMPO-
NENTS INSIDE. AVOID POTENTIALLY DAN-
GEROUS SHOCK HAZARDS, KEEP THE
COVER CLOSED AT ALL TIMES!
