    Figure 3. Typical output power vs. speaker load impedance for the VA300 Vocal Master Column Speaker Placement: It must always be kept in mind that every room or space is acoustically unique and there are no set “rules” for speaker placement. A number of generalizations however may be made which will at least provide a good starting point under ...

    Thermal Overload/Ventilation: The VA300 is equipped with thermal sensing switches on the heat-sinks of the output transistors. The thermal switches are set to shut off AC power to the amplifier when a temperature of 90°C (194°F) is attained on the heat-sinks; the switches will automatically recycle and return AC power when the heat-sink temperatu ...

    A phone jack marked “Reverb Switch” (17) is located on the rear panel of the console. This jack parallels the Master Reverb In-Out switch (4) and allows the reverb to be remotely turned on and off when the Master Reverb switch is in the “In” position. The Master Reverb switch will always override the remote switch and turn off the reverb, s ...

    Phonographs: To connect a” phonograph having a magnetic cartridge, and no preamplifier, to the VA300, attach a cable from the phonograph output to one of the six Input jacks on the Console. Set that channel’s Input Attenuator Switch to the “Mic.“ position. Set the Treble control for that channel at 9:00 o’clock and the Bass control at 3:0 ...

    Adjust the Echo Gain control and the mixer volume con- trols to match the gain of the VA300 inputs. With the mixer connected in this configuration the individual Reverb In-Out switches on the Console should be set to the “In” position. When these switches are set to the “Out” position, that indi- vidual channel will be muted, or “cued.” ...
