Mode: A two-position switch located on the back
panel which, when turned to “Stereo,” operates
the amplifi er as two independent channels. When
“Bridge” is selected, the amplifi er bridges the two
output channels for twice the output voltage.

output channels for twice the output voltage.
Channel Operation Switch: A two-position switch
located on the back panel which, when turned to
4/8 Ohm, sets the amplifi er to drive low-imped-
ance speaker loads. Turning the switch to 70V sets
the amplifi er to drive distributed high-impedance
speaker loads and inserts a 70 Hz high-pass fi lter into
the signal chain to prevent step-down transformer
saturation.

Indicators
Signal: A green indicator for each channel which
fl ashes when a very low-level signal (> –40 dBm) is
present at input. May be used for troubleshooting
cable runs.

Protection
Contractor Series amplifi ers are protected against
shorted, open or mismatched loads; overloaded
power supplies; excessive temperature, chain
destruction phenomena, input overload damage and
high-frequency blowups. They also protect loudspeak-
ers from input/output DC, large or dangerous DC off-
sets and turn-on/turn-off transients.
