1. AC Fuse Holder

 - holds the AC Line fuse. This fuse is a 15 Amp / 250 Volt Slow Bow fuse. Replace only with 

the same type and value fuse. 

 
2. AC Input Receptacle

 - for attaching the supplied AC power cord to the amplifier. 

 
3. Speaker Outputs

 - for connecting the speakers to the amplifier. Explained further on page 6. 

* On the 

ST125.2, channel 3 is not available. On the ST125.1 mono amplifier, all output channels source the same 
information with the speaker outputs remaining fused independently. 

 
4. Speaker Fuses

 - for protection against amplifier damage in the case of shorted speaker wires. Replace fuse 

with the same type and value 6 AMP T-Lag. 

* On the ST125.2, channel 3 is not available. On the ST125.1 mono 

amplifier, all outputs remain fused independently. 

 
5. Balanced Input

 - for connecting signal patch cables (interconnects) from the preamplifier to the amplifier. 

Explained further on Page 4. * 

On the ST125.2, channel 3 is not available. On the ST125.1 mono amplifier, 

channels 2 and 3’s XLR Balanced connections are not available. 

 

6. Balanced/Unbalanced Input Select

 - this switch is used to configure an AMPLIFIER PAIR for use as either 

balanced (XLR) or RCA unbalanced line inputs. This switch controls two amplifier channels and allows signal 
patch cables (interconnects) to be sourced from either balanced or unbalanced, preamplifier/processor or line 
outputs. Explained further on Page 4. * 

On the ST125.2, channel 3 is not available. On the ST125.1 mono 

amplifier, channels 2 and 3’s Balanced/Unbalanced Input Selectors, are not available.

 

 
7. RCA Input

 - for connecting signal patch cables (interconnects) from the preamplifier to the amplifier. Explained 

further on Page 4. * 

On the ST125.2, channel 3 is not available. On the ST125.1 mono amplifier, channels 2 and 

3’s RCA Unbalanced connections are not available. 

 
8. Amplifier Control Input/Output

 - provides remote switching of the amplifier’s standby on/off feature.
