1.2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Dukane Model
gymnasiums, and in field applications where professional sound quality is required. Output level is
indicated by a VU light bar. The amplifier is protected from damage which could result from an
over temperature condition in the output stage circuitry. A
damage in case of a short circuit developing in the speaker line(s) served by the amplifier.
The amplifier may be operated with either unbalanced or balanced input. An optional input
plug-in transformer allows for balanced operation. The output of the amplifier can be either
unbalanced (direct coupled) or balanced. An optional plug-in transformer allows for balanced
output.
