MICROPHONE 1 & 2 (P650A): These are unbalanced inputs using 2 pole standard 6.35mm
jack sockets located on the front panel. The levels are set by the respective controls adjacent
to the socket.
AUX/PHONO INPUT: Unbalanced inputs using standard RCA phono sockets are located on
the rear panel. The volume level is adjusted by the control located on the front panel.
These inputs can be used for PHONO and AUX sources (Tuner, Tape, CD) and should be
selected using the AUX/PHONO selector switch located on the rear panel.

MICROPHONE 1 (P650B): MIC 1 is an unbalanced input using a 2 pole standard 6.35mm
jack socket located on the rear panel. The volume level of the input is adjusted by the control
located on the front panel. MIC 1 has PRIORITY over all other inputs when the terminals
are short circuited.

MICROPHONE 2 (P650B): MIC 2 is an unbalanced input using a 2 pole standard 6.35mm
jack socket located on the rear panel and the volume level is adjusted by the control located
on the front panel.
LOUDSPEAKER OUTPUT: Important: Outputs for two different types of loudspeakers are
provided, however you may only use one type at any one time, e.g. if you are using 100V
line loudspeakers you must NOT use low impedance outputs. DAMAGE to the amplifier will
be caused if this is not observed.
LOW IMPEDANCE: A low impedance 4Ω,8Ω,16Ω terminal is provided for connection of
loudspeakers. Ensure the total speaker load impedance is connected to the correct output
terminals, i.e. COM 4Ω,8Ω or 16Ω.
Fig. 3: Loudspeaker wiring
mix low impedance and 100V line loudspeakers on the same amplifier.
run microphone cables near mains, data, telephone or 100V line cables.
If you must cross these cables do it at 90°.
run 100V line cables near data, telephone or other low voltage cables.
exceed 90% of the amplifiers output power when using 100V line
(speech only).
exceed 70% of the amplifiers output power when using 100V line (high level
background music).
use re-entrant horn loudspeakers for background music unless the
loudspeaker has been specifically designed for this purpose.
low impedance loudspeakers if you are using more than two loudspeakers
and/or have long loudspeaker cable runs.
jointing the microphone cable, when this is unavoidable make sure a good
screened connector is used, e.g. XLR.
use a good quality microphone cable when extending.
use a mains grade double insulated cable for loudspeaker cable runs.
tha
t all loudspeakers are in-phase.
that there are no short circuits on the loudspeaker line before connecting to
the amplifier.
