signals. In essence, the amplifier is designed to receive a 700mv input signal however the level control can
be used to increase the level for lower signals or decrease the level for higher input signals. In normal use,
the gain control is used as a ‘set and forget’ master level control for the amplifier.
XLR Audio Input and Parallel Output
The AMIS250P includes both male and female 3 pin XLR connectors. While the female is normally used
as the input to the amplifier, both XLR’s are connected in parallel so either will work. When signal is
connected to one XLR, the other XLR becomes a line level output allowing the input signal to be
distributed (split) to other amplifiers. In some projects, the same input may be looped through to multiple
amplifiers using this method. Up to 6 amplifiers can be looped together without any noticeable loss in level.
A distribution amplifier should be used when more than 6 amplifiers need to be looped.
The XLR’s are wired as follows: Pin 1: Shield. Pin 2: Hot, +, Positive. Pin 3: Cold, -, Negative
Fuse Sizes
Mains 230 VAC - 6 Amperes Slow Blow
DC - 2 x 10 Amperes Slow Blow
Notes:
The DC fuse is located on the circuit board. This is a feature of the AMIS series amplifier,
which is equipped with a current limiting circuit preventing excessive DC current, thus
eliminating the risk of blowing high tensions fuses. In the unlikely event that the DC fuse
actuates, the output transistors should be checked, as it is probable that the amplifier has been subjected to
very extreme conditions.
Important Safety Information
1. Save the carton and packing material even if the equipment has arrived in good condition. Should
you ever need to ship the unit, use only the original factory packing.
2. Read all documentation before operating your equipment. Retain all documentation for future
reference.
3. Follow all instructions printed on unit chassis for proper operation.
4. Do not spill water or other liquids into or on the unit, or operate the unit while standing in liquid.
5. Make sure power outlets conform to the power requirements listed on the back of the unit.
6. Do not use the unit if the electrical power cord is frayed or broken. The power supply cords should
be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them,
paying particular attention to cords and plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the appliance.
