    Panel descriptions front panel 1. Power switch: obediently turns the ma 6 on and off every time you poke it with your finger (or other suitable object). All six channels have delayed turn-on/ instant turn-off relays to eliminate any switching transients. 2. Thermaloverload indicator: this red led wi...

    Rear panel 1. Inputs: these are 1/4" stereo (rts) jacks, which are automatic balanced/unbalanced. Use a mono shielded patch cable for unbalanced operation. Use a two conductor shielded cable for balanced operation. With a male 1/4" stereo plug wired as follows: tip: signal hot (pin #2 on a three pin...

    Installation diagram 1 shows three basic wiring configurations for the ma 6: 1. Direct operation. 2. Biamp operation. 3. Bridged operation. Note — automatic input coupling the ma 6 uses switching input jacks to automatically make internal connections between each pair of channels: 1 & 2, 3 & 4, and ...

    Diagram 2. Stereo biamped operation the ma 6 will drive an active two way stereo system when wired as shown. The high-frequency drivers are run direct from channels 1 and 2. The low frequency drivers, requiring much more power, are then run from two bridged pairs: channels 3 & 4 bridged to one woofe...

    Operation using the built-in limiters the built-in limiters in the ma 6 allow a significant increase in usable volume levels without clipping the limiters do not effect dynamic response, distortion or noise level of any material below about 90 watts output level. They simply “watch” the input level ...
