INSTALLATION The 9180/9270 Amplifier is supplied in either a 17” Black Version, or a 19” Silver Version. The 19” RACK- MOUNTING model has rackmounting holes provided for installation in equipment racks. The holes are on standard EIA spacings. Due to conflict with adjacent equipment, it may be advisable to remove the four rubber feet from the bottom of the unit. The feet may be removed from the outside, with no dis-assembly of the chassis necessary. The 9180/9270 Amplifier can produce considerabl

OUTPUTS All output connections to the amplifier must be performed with the amplifier off! I The left and right audio outputs from the amplifier are via standard 5-way type, 3/4” spacing, binding posts. Connect these binding posts to the loudspeakers. The amplifier’s binding posts will accept single or dual banana plugs, spade lugs, pin plugs, or bare wires. If using bare wires, it is recommended that the ends of the wire be tinned with solder so that no stray strands can cause a short circuit to

CIRCUIT HIGHLIGHTS The input stage of the 9180/9270 Amplifier utilizes four low-noise, High-g, JFET’s (high transconductance junction field-effect transistors), in a fully complimentary, symmetric configuration. This circuit configu- ration results in excellent front-end headroom and a simple, straightforward connection to the remainder of the circuitry. The ultra low noise characteristics of the JFET’s virtually eliminates noise “mixing” (intermodulation) with the music signal, reducing discord

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION LOUDSPEAKER The 9180/9270 Amplifier is suitable for use with a wide variety of loudspeaker types and load LOAD IMPEDANCE impedances. Though not rated for impedances below 4 ohms, the amplifier is capable of driving CONSIDERATIONS lower impedances. Operation at low impedances is limited by the thermal dissipation capacity of the heatsinks and the airflow around the unit. Operation at very high power levels into low impedances for extended periods may overheat the amplifier,

WARNING! UNPLUG THE UNIT FROM AC POWER BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS PROCEDURE. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK. REQUIRED TEST EQUIPMENT: Milliammeter capable of measuring at least 300 mA. Remove the top cover by removing the seven allen head screws (three on each side, one at rear 1) center). Using the diagram “Component Layout” as a guide, find the fuses labelled F1 and F2 for the left 2) channel, or F1 01 and F102 for the right channel. Working on one channel at a time, remove

It may be necessary to use additional adaptors on other grounded components if more than two components are earth grounded. (In other words, only one earth ground per system should exist.) Another potential source of multiple earth grounds is from coaxial antenna or cable service feeds for FM or video sources, which usually are (and should be) earth grounded. The ground adaptor(s) should cure this grounding problem as well. WARNING: The use of ground adaptors (with the ground tab or wire of the
