FRONT PANEL 1. Level Control To prevent unauthorized operation of the level controls on the CPS3 and CPS4, they are provided with screwed-on protective cover lids. When shipped from the factory, the detented potentiometers are set to their clockwise limits. Thus, the input signal is not attenuated. In case matching the input levels is required, you first have to detach (unscrew) the cover lids to gain access to the potentiometers. 2. POWER ON INDICATION This LED lights up when the mains switch i

REAR PANEL POWER AMPLIFIER INPUTS Parallel to the XLR-type inputs, output connectors are provided, offering the opportunity to feed additional power amplifiers with the same signal. The inputs are electrically balanced with pin-assignment according to the IEC 268 standard. Pin-assignment of the XLR-type input connectors: PIN 1: SHIELD PIN 2: a, + PIN 3: b, - Input sensitivity is factory set to 0 dBu. The power amplifier can be set internally to +6dBu input sensitivity or to +2

REAR PANEL POWER AMPLIFIER OUTPUT CONNECTORS SPEAKON output connectors are provided for the power amplifier channels A (left) and B (right). The Bridged Out Connector for bridged operation is sealed with a plastic cover to prevent connection errors. LIMITER The time constant of the built-in limiter to avoid overdri- ving is adjustable. Position “SLOW” is the factory preset and this should also be the normal position. If the power amplifier is used as a MID/HI-frequency amplifier in active mult
