3.7 Set Input Sensitivity
The three-position input sensitivity switch is
located inside the amplifier behind the MT-XLR
module (Figure 4.2 letter “I”). The switch is set
at the factory to a sensitivity of 0.775 volt for
standard 1 kHz power into 8 ohms. (Factory
setting for International versions is 1.4 V.) If
desired, the sensitivity can be switched to 1.4
volts for standard 1 kHz power into 8 ohms, or
a voltage gain of 26 dB. The 26 dB gain setting
is equivalent to a sensitivity of 2.1 volts for the
Micro-Tech 600, 2.5 volts for the Micro-Tech
1200 and 3.2 volts for the Micro-Tech 2400.

3.8 Set Ground Lift Switch
The ground lift switch (Figure 3.7) is located
on the back panel and can isolate the input sig-
nal grounds from the AC (chassis) ground. It
affects only the phone jack inputs and has no
effect on accessory input connectors. Sliding
the switch to the left isolates or “lifts” the
grounds by placing an impedance between the
sleeve of each phone jack and the AC ground.

The Micro-Tech 2400 has two reset switches
for its high-voltage power supplies. Refer to the

WARNING: The third prong of the power
connector (ground) is an important
safety feature. Do not attempt to disable
this ground connection by using an

Amplifiers don't create energy. The AC mains
voltage and current must be sufficient to deliver
the power you expect. You must operate your
amplifier from an AC mains power source with
not more than 10% variation above or below
the amplifier's specified line voltage and within
the specfied frequency requirements (indicated
on the amplifier's back panel label). If you are
unsure of the output voltage of your AC mains,
please consult your electrician.

3.10 Startup Procedure
Use the following procedure when first turning
on your amplifier:
on your amplifier:
1.
Turn down the level of your audio source.
2.
Turn down the level controls of the ampli-
fier.
3.
Turn on the “Power” switch. The Power
indicator should glow.

4.
Turn up the level of your audio source to
an optimum level.
5.
Turn up the Level controls on the amplifier
until the desired loudness or power level is
achieved.
achieved.
6.
Turn down the level of your audio source
to its normal range.
If you ever need to make any wiring or installa-
tion changes, don't forget to disconnect the
power cord.
