Q6A and Q8A models include a switchable voltage power supply that accepts either 110-120VAC or 220-240VAC line power.
Selection is made through the two-position Voltage Select Switch
on the rear panel. In addition there is an IEC AC Input socket and
two position rocker Power Switch.
Both models are fitted with a 50 watt high efficiency power
amplifier with external heatsink. Ensure that the heatsink is not
obstructed and that adequate airflow can circulate around it to
ensure safe and reliable operation.
The amplifier accepts either balanced or unbalanced signals,
through a detachable Phoenix-style connector or a single RCA
connector. Nominal sensitivity of the Balanced input is +4dBu
and -10dBu for the unbalanced input. A rotary Gain Control is
provided to attenuate the volume.
Both models are fitted with 4 threaded inserts on the rear for
attaching the supplied mounting bracket. Access to the mounting
points is gained by removing the four screws and the blank cover
plate. There is also a threaded insert for attachment of a seismic
restraint tether.
