[rar (ee) @INPUT connectors These are balanced input connectors. The included Eurob- lock connectors can be used to make connections here. @ SPEAKERS connectors These are barrier strip type speaker output connectors. + Ifusing BRIDGE mode, connect the speakers to the “+” pin of channels A/C/E/G and th pin of channels B/ D/F/H. + Do not connect the pin marked NC located in the center of the bottom row of the barrier strip connectors. BRIDGE Caution regarding output measurement To make the load to the power supply consistent and in CR particular to improve frequency response in the low range at very high volumes, channels B/D/F/H have been designed so that the signal is reversed in polarity just before the power amp stage and then output to the “. pins of the corresponding SPEAKER terminals. (See the Block Diagram.) If you measure the output, we recommend that you use an instrument that is compatible with balanced input. If you have an instrument that is compatible only with unbalanced input, use the “+” pin of channels B/D/F/H as ground, and apply a probe to the “-” pin and mea- sure the output carefully. Using the probe improperly may cause the amplifier or instrument to malfunction. IPA8200 Owner's Manual © MODE switches These specify the amplifier’ operation mode for each two channels. + STEREO mode Each channel (A-H) will operate independently. + BRIDGE mode The amplifiers will be bridged for pairs of adjacent chan- nels (A-B, C-D, E-F, G-H), obtaining a high-power out- put. + PARALLEL mode The input signals will be input to the adjacent channels (AB, C-D, E-F, G-H) as well. © GAIN switch This switches the input sensitivity / gain for all channels together. + +4 dBu: Sets the input sensitivity to +4 dBu. + 264dB: Sets the gain to 26 dB. + 32dB: Sets the gain to 32 dB. © HPF switch Turns the high pass filter (20 Hz or 55 Hz) on/off. If this is set to 20 Hz or 55 Hz, the frequency components below that frequency will be cut by a 12 dB/oct. filter. © Ground screw Hum and interference may be reduced in some cases by con- necting the screw to an ground or to the chassis of the mixer, preamp, or other device in your system. OACinlet Connect this to the socket end of the included AC power cable . Connect the plug end of the AC power cable to an AC outlet of the correct voltage. If this device is to be rack mounted and transported frequently, be sure to support the rear end of the unit with mounting hardware that matches the size of the rack used. CAUTION

Mode settings Speakers can be connected to the IPA8200 using the following three mode settings. The total load impedance of the speakers that can be connected will depend on the mode setting. Do not use a setup that has a lower impedance than the minimum values shown below. EREO mode If the rear panel MODE switch is set to STEREO, each chan- nel will operate independently. You can use the front panel attenuators to adjust the attenuation for each channel inde- pendently. BRIDGE BREL
