CONNECTORS
Line level signals such as keyboard signals are fed to the INPUT using a high quality shielded instrument cable
(6.3mm TS). For simultaneous connection to an instrument amplifier use the LINK output which is wired in paral-
lel. CAUTION - do NOT use the LINK connector for signal input! All unbalanced instrument cables should be as
short as possible, and the PAN02 should be located close to the unbalanced source.
The balanced lo-Z output signal is available at male XLR connector. This is wired to the international standard
(pin 2 = hot) and electrically connected in parallel. Use shielded balanced microphone cable for connection to a
mixing console input. Cable length is basically uncritical with no audible signal degradation at 100 meters and
beyond (300' +).
30DB PAD AND GND LIFT SWITCHES
The PAN02 can also be used to feed loudspeaker level signals to a mixing console by connecting the amplifier
output to the PAN02 INPUT, and the corresponding LINK output to a loudspeaker. Use dedicated loudspeaker
cable only for both connections (16AWG minimum). Due to the much higher level of loudspeaker signals
(compared to instrument and line level signals) the PAD 30dB switch must be engaged. To prevent clipping the
amplifier should not be rated higher than 100W.
WARNING! TUBE AMPLIFIERS ALWAYS REQUIRE AN APPROPRIATE LOAD AT THEIR OUTPUTS. DO NOT CONNECT
THE PAN02 TO TUBE AMPLIFIERS WITHOUT CONNECTING AN APPROPRIATE LOUDSPEAKER ENCLOSURE TO
THE AMPLIFIER TO PREVENT PERMANENT DAMAGE TO BOTH UNITS.
The PAD switch can also be used to attenuate the output level to mixing desks that do not provide attenuation of
strong line level signals.
The shield of standard microphone cable is wired to pin 1 of the XLR connectors at both ends also connecting
the equipment grounds which may result in ground loop hum. Since grounding at one end only provides sufficient
shielding the PAN02's GND LIFT switch disconnects pin 1 from ground to prevent ground loops and hum. Let
your ears be the judge and always set the switch to the position with minimum interference.
