7B SST Series Amplifier Rear Panel Input / Output Connections PUSH 1. Input Select Switch. Each SST channel gives the user the option of switching between either balanced input or single ended input. 2. Balanced Input connector. ( Imp. 20k ) This input connector accepts standard ‘XLR’ or 1/4” TRS . Use quality, 100% shielded cables with gold plated connectors. 3. Single Ended Input. ( Un-balanced input ) ( Imp. 50k ) This input connector accepts standard ‘RCA’ or ‘Phono’ connectors. Use qualit

7B SST Series Amplifier 6. Output binding posts. The RED binding post is the in-phase amplifier output. Connect to this post the (+) terminal on the loudspeaker. The BLUE binding post is the inverted-phase amplifier output. Connect to this post the (-) terminal on the loudspeaker. Note: At no time should either output be connected to a ground, or chassis. Failure of the amplifier may result. Never connect either output in parallel with another amplifier. The minimum recommended loudspeaker load

7B SST Series Amplifier Front Panel 1. 'SST POWER' switch The front panel label 'SST POWER', is a touch sensitive membrane switch used to apply or remove a/c line power to the soft start circuitry. Push firmly the center of the switch until the power-up sequence begins. Push again and the amplifier will power-down. ( Note: the rear circuit breaker must be on for the amplifier to power-up) 2. LED Indicator The 7B SST has an LED indicator to monitor the following conditions: UNLIT - indicates the

7B SST Series Amplifier Power Control 1. Master circuit - breaker. The 7B SST amplifier uses a magnetic-trip circuit breaker (1) to protect the amplifier. This switch should be ‘OFF’ during installation. When switched ‘OFF’ all A/C power is removed from the amplifier, including standby power. The circuit breaker is not the power switch and should be switched to and left ‘ON’ after the installation is complete. Use the “SST POWER” switch or an external control voltage to Power-up or Power-down
