Questions answered in these manuals
How long does the protection circuit stay active after power is turned on?
The protection indicator lights for approximately 6+2 seconds after power is switched on.
What happens when the CLIP indicators light up?
The amplifier is clipping due to excessive input signal levels because output distortion exceeds approximately 1%.
What is the function of the Phase Reverse switch?
The switch reverses the phase of the XLR connectors, making pin 2 negative and pin 3 positive when depressed.
