REAR PANEL DESCRIPTION
5. Gain Controls
These two knobs and the level controls for channels one and
two respectively. Turning clockwise will increase its gain and
counter clockwise will decrease its gain. Please always power-
up with the volume all the way down, and increase the volume
slowly to make sure that no conditions exist which could annoy
your audience or harm your speakers.
6. CH1/CH2 Inputs (XLR Connectors)
These inputs are provided for making balanced connection to
mixers, preamps, etc. The XLR inputs are wired as per the
following convention.
7. Balanced Barrier Strip Inputs
These connection points provide the best option for permanent
or long-term installation. Connections should be screwed down
tight to exclude oxygen, and care should be taken to avoid loose
strands of wire that may cause short circuits.
8. CH1/CH2 Parallel Pass Through XLR Connectors
These XLR output connectors are provided for parallel
connection to another Icon or other amplifier.

9. Stereo/Parallel/Bridge Switch
In Stereo operation, two separate signals are treated separately
by channels 1 and 2 of the amplifiers.
In Parallel operation, one signal is treated by bother channel
1 and 2 of the amplifier. In other words, a signal connected to
Input CH1 (6) or CH2 (7) is sent to both Ouput CH1 (10) and
CH2 (11).
In Bridge operation, both channels are configured to drive a
single load with a single signal to CH1 (only CH1 is operative,
and CH2 input must be vacant) at twice the power.
This switch should only be used when the Amplifier is off;
otherwise the speakers' components could be damaged.
10. Direct Output Connectors, CH1/CH2
These are barrier strips to connect low impedance speakers.
Spade lugs and bare wires should both be screwed down tight
to exclude oxygen, and care should be taken to avoid loose
strands of wire that may cause short circuits.
11. Audio Transformer Outputs, CH1/CH2
These are barrier strips to connect distributed line (25V, 70V,
100V, 140V and 200V). Spade lugs and bare wires should both
be screwed down tight to exclude oxygen, and care should
be taken to avoid loose strands of wire that may cause short
circuits.
