User manual FENDER SPL6000

[. . . ] Turn everything else ON except the amplifier. Adjust the controls on the signal source for "normal" indications on the source's meter or level indicator. If there is no metering, then set the master control at zero (minimum). [. . . ] To turn the unit on, push the power switch to the right. The LED is illuminated when the amplifier is turned on and main voltage is present. If this indicator does not light when the power switch is turned on (and does not trip the circuit breaker), then check the AC power supply. 3 E E I J I J ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS EQUIPMENT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE TYPE: PR200 CAUTION: CHASSIS SURFACE HOT WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR A PRODUCT OF: FENDER MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS CORP. , CORONA, CA 91720 SERIAL 600 WATTS 8 OHM MINIMUM LOAD BRIDGED 300 WATTS 4 OHM MINIMUM 300 WATTS 4 OHM MINIMUM MONO BRIDGE DUAL MONO ATTENTION: UTILISER UN FUSIBLE DE RECHANGE DE MEME CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, REPLACE FUSE WITH = (+)TIP = (­) RING 1/4" PHONE FOR MONO BRIDGE OPERTION, USE L M F F K G H K G - MODE SELECT MONO BRIDGED/STEREO This two-position switch (left rear panel) selects either the mono bridge or normal stereo mode. With the button in the "in" position, the amplifier is in the mono bridged mode. With the button in the "out" position, the amplifier is configured for the normal two-channel stereo mode of operation. In the Bridged Mode of operation, speaker output is taken across the two red (positive) output terminals. The Channel A terminal is the positive output terminal and the Channel B terminal is the negative terminal for bridged operation only. L - AC POWER CORD WARNING: This amplifier is equipped with a 3prong, grounding type supply cord. To reduce the possibility of shock hazard, be sure to connect the unit to a grounded AC recepticle. 100-120V OPERATION This must be connected to a source of 100V or 120V, 50 to 60 Hz AC power with a current capability of at least 10 A. As a general guideline, it is accepted to connect two (2) SPL6000 amplifiers to one (1) 20 ampere circuit provided the load is limited to 4-ohm loudspeakers on each channel and the signal source is full range music or speech. CAUTION: In the Bridged Mode of operation, the load floats and is NOT chassis ground referenced. H - MODE SELECT, DUAL MONO/STEREO This two-position switch connects the amplifier inputs together to allow channel A and B to be summed (mixed) for non-bridged mono operation. In the dual mono and the stereo mode of operation, both attenuators control their respective channels. 220-240V OPERATION This must be connected to a source of 220-240V, 50 to 60 Hz AC power with a current capability of at least 5 A. M - EXTERNAL FUSE When necessary, replace the external fuse only with one of the same type and rating as shown on the label next to the external fuse holder. I, J & K - INPUT CONNECTORS Each channel is provided with a Female XLR (I) and Male XLR (J) connectors for easy "Daisy Chain" operation of multiple channels in large systems, and a 1/4" inch tipring-sleeve (stereo) phone jack (K). Each input is electronically balanced and will accept signals from balanced sources (either active or transformer) or from unbalanced circuits. Pin #2 is the positive pin on the XLR connectors. 4 BASIC CONNECTIONS and WIRING Power and audio signal cables are the most common sources of sound system failure. Well-made and carefully maintained cables are essential to the reliability of the entire system. If long speaker cables are required, make sure the wire is of sufficient size to transfer all of the available amplifier power to the speakers rather than absorbing power itself. [. . . ] Besides being capable of destroying speakers, under certain circumstances shock and /or fire hazards are possible. High power amplifiers should always be properly applied and used with care in clean and dry environment. If you have mounted all your sound equipment in a rack or portable case, you can ensure that everything stays calibrated by marking the settings of the necessary controls. [. . . ]
