1. Speaker Outputs
There are two parallel speaker outputs for connecting the internal speaker and/or
an external speaker cabinet. When connecting speakers always ensure that the
Impedance Selector (2) is set correctly.
2. Impedance Selector
This control matches the amplifier’s impedance to that of the connected speakers.
Always ensure that the selected impedance matches that of the internal and/or
external speaker cabinets.
The Artisan 15’s internal speaker is 16 Ohms, so when used by itself the Impedance
Selector must be set to 16 Ohms. If an additional 16 Ohm speaker cabinet is used
together with the internal speaker the Impedance Selector should be set to 8 Ohms.
A speaker cabinet of less than 16 Ohms should not be used together with the
internal speaker.
WARNING: The amplifier must always be completely powered down before
adjusting the setting of the Impedance Selector. Failure to do this, or to correctly
match the impedance of the amplifier and speakers, will damage the amplifier.
3. H.T. Fuse
The value of the H.T. Fuse is specified on the rear panel. Never use a fuse of the
incorrect value or attempt to bypass it.
4. Mains Fuse
The value of the Mains Fuse is specified on the rear panel. Never use a fuse of the
incorrect value or attempt to bypass it.
5. Mains Input
The supplied detachable mains lead is connected here. The lead should only
be connected to a power outlet that is compatible with the voltage, power and
frequency requirements stated on the rear panel. If in doubt get advice from a
qualified technician.
