Q1 and Q2 are pure preamp signals. The Quad
VI offers with Q3 and Q4 a tube based power amp
(EL 84 and output transformer), which gives you
the sound of a full-tube amplifier. The Quad IV
simulates this by EQ-presets.

frequencies
BASS Rotary control to Cut or Boost low
frequencies
MID 1 Rotary control to Cut or Boost low-mid
frequencies
SHIFT 1 Switch + LED to set the operating

MUTE Switch + LED mutes all the outputs of the
Quadruplet except the PHONES socket and
simultaneously activates the TUNER OUT socket
(Rear Panel). When the MUTE switch is
depressed, the LED shines red. In an operation
ready state, the LED shines green.

volume.
REAR PANEL
MAINS IN AC terminal with integrated fuse
compartment for connection to the mains power
supply
GROUND LIFT Switch to separate the
grounding conductor from the audio signal
ground. When several devices are grounded to the
same point and interconnected with shielded
cables, a ground loop hum can result. If this
happens, depress the GROUND LIFT switch to
eliminate the hum.
TUNER OUT Socket for a tuning device. The
pure bass signal is available at this socket when the
Preamp is switched MUTE.
LINE OUT Output for connection to an external
power stage (post MASTER).
DI PRE/POST When this switch is depressed, the
signal at the DI OUT socket is the pure bass signal
(PRE). Otherwise it is the signal after the tone
controls and any connected effects devices have
done their work (POST).
DI OUT Balanced output for the connection to a
mixing desk (PA or Studio).
