10. CIRCUIT BREAKER: The SVP1600 employs an AC line circuit
breaker to help protect against damages due to excessive current
demands. If the amplifier stops working, check the circuit breaker. If
it has opened, the button will be protruding and showing a contrast-
ing color. You can reset the circuit breaker by pushing it in until it
latches. The breaker must cool down for a short time before the but-
ton will latch. If the circuit breaker opens repeatedly with no signal
input, have the amplifier checked by a qualified service person.
11. AC LINE IN: Firmly plug the female end of the supplied AC
power cord into this socket, pushing it completely until it is firmly
seated. Plug the male end of the cord into a grounded AC outlet. DO
NOT DEFEAT THE GROUND PRONG OF THE AC PLUG!
12. AC OUTLET (Domestic units only): This unswitched outlet lets
you connect any AC powered device (such as a preamp or an
effects unit) up to a maximum of 300 watts. The jack is “hot” when-
ever the amplifier is plugged into a live AC outlet, regardless of the
setting of the amplifier’s Power switch.
13. SPEAKER OUTPUTS: The Speakon ® Jacks: Use of these
heavy-duty connectors is recommended when playing at full output
levels. Connect the amplifier to your speaker cabinet(s) using heavy
gauge speaker cables terminated with properly wired Speakon
® con-
nectors. (See the text above these jacks for their pinout information.)
The 1/4” Jacks: These mono 1/4” jacks (two per channel, wired in
parallel) offer you a convenient method of connecting the amplifier
to your speaker(s) using cables terminated with 1/4” plugs.
(Whenever playing at full output levels, it is recommended that you
use the Speakon
® jacks.)
14. STEREO/DUAL MONO / MONO BRIDGE: Use this switch to
set the operating mode of the amplifier. When the switch is out, the
amplifier is in the Stereo or Dual Mono Mode; when the switch is
depressed the amplifier is in the Mono Bridge Mode.
In the Stereo mode, use the Power Amp A input (#18) and the
Sensitivity Channel A control (#1) for the LEFT channel, and the
Power Amp B input (#15) and the Sensitivity Channel B control (#7)
for the RIGHT channel. This is recommended since the Sensitivity
Channel A control is positioned on the left of the amplifier and the
Sensitivity Channel B control is positioned on the right. (Left controls
left, right controls right...)
15. POWER AMP B POWER AMP INPUT: When operating the
SVP1600 in the Stereo mode, use this jack to connect the right
channel input signal to the amplifier.
16. POWER AMP B PARALLEL OUTPUT: Use this jack to send
the Power Amp B Input signal to the Power Amp B Power Amp Input
jack of a second SVP1600 amplifier. This jack is active when the
SVP1600 is operated in either the Stereo or Dual Mono mode.
17. POWER AMP A PARALLEL OUTPUT: Use this jack to send
the Power Amp A Input signal to the Power Amp A Power Amp Input
jack of a second SVP1600 amplifier. This jack is active when the
SVP1600 is operated in any mode.
18. POWER AMP A POWER AMP INPUT: When operating the
SVP1600 in the Stereo mode, use this jack to connect the left chan-
nel input signal to the amplifier. When operating the SVP1600 in the
Dual Mono or Mono Bridge mode, use this jack to connect the mono
input signal to the amplifier.
