Pagina afdrukken9. Front power/mute switch
NEVER use this button to lift the
amplifier. The
bar running across the front of the amplifier is
the power/mute switch. Press on the left end of
the bar and hold it for 3 seconds to turn the amp
on and off. Press and release the left side of the
bar to activate and deactivate mute mode.
Use mute mode if you wish to mute the sound,
of course, but also when you are checking the
connections into and out of the amplifier. In the
event of an accidental disconnection, using the
mute mode will prevent unwanted bursts of
sound from coming through the speakers.
10. Status indicator LED
This LED shows if the amp is on or off, and also indicates mute, warm-up, and cool-down modes. Here are the modes:
SOLID RED: Standby mode. Amp is powered down but ready to use.
FLASHING RED: Cool-down mode. Amp is powered off but cooling down. The power button cannot be used in this
mode. This mode lasts 1 minute.
FLASHING GREEN: Warm-up mode. Amp power is on but amp is warming up and cannot be used. This mode lasts
1 minute.
SOLID BLUE: On mode. Amp power is on and the amplifier is fully functional.
FLASHING BLUE: Mute mode. Amp is powered but will produce no sound.
11. Master power switch
This switch disconnects the amplifier from AC power. If the switch is set to
the Off position, the front power switch will not be active and the status in-
dicator LED will not be illuminated. If the switch is set to the On position,
the front power switch will become active and the LED will glow solid red,
indicating standby mode. This switch also resets the amplifier's internal cir-
cuit breaker. If the circuit breaker trips, flip the switch off and on again to
reset it.
12. Mute switch
This switch puts the amplifier into mute mode. In this mode, the amplifier
is fully powered up, but the sound is muted. Use this mode if you wish to
mute the sound, of course, but also when you are checking the connections
into and out of the amplifier. In the event of an accidental disconnection, us-
ing the mute mode will prevent unwanted bursts of sound from coming
through the speakers.
13. Input select switch
Use this switch to select which of the amplifier's inputs you wish to use: bal-
anced (BAL), Direct or RCA. The BAL setting (left position) selects the bal-
anced input, which should be used with balanced-output preamps not
manufactured by Constellation Audio. The middle position selects the Con-
stellation Direct input, which should be used only with Constellation Audio
preamps. The right position selects the RCA input, which should be used only
if your preamp does not offer balanced output.
