The power consumption according to the chart above is then 1300 watts.

The heat power produced is the difference between the power consumption and output power;

1300 - 525 = 775 watts per amplifier.

Input connections

XLR Input connectors are balanced and wired

according to the IEC 268, that is pin 2 hot, and

wired in the following way:

PIN 1

GROUND/SHIELD

PIN 2

HOT

PIN 3

COLD

There are also TRS jacks for linking etc. They are

wired as follows:

Figure 4. TRS phone plug

The input impedance is high enough (20 kohms

balanced) to allow ”daisy-chaining”, or multiple

parallel input connections. To daisy chain, use the

TRS jacks provided on each channel. The input

circuits also have a high enough headroom, to accept

the maximum output level from virtually any low

level signal source.

Figure 5. Rear panel connectors

Do not use XLR and TRS jacks on the same

channel simultaneously for mixing or other

purposes.

Figure 6. Balanced line

To connect an unbalanced source, tie pin 3 (ring on

TRS jack) down to the shield of the connector. If

you leave one pin disconnected, you will lose 6 dB

in gain.

Figure 7. Unbalanced line connection

A more optimal method for handling unbalanced

sources is shown in Figure 8.This is similar to the

connection for balanced lines, but pin 3 is tied down

to shield, at the source side instead. The hum and

noise rejection for the cable is equivalent to that for a

balanced line. To minimize hum in the audio, use

balanced inputs whenever possible.
