5) Single-ended inputs.

 Connect a preamplifier provided with single-ended outputs. 

Female RCA. 
 

6) Input selector switch.

 Allows to choose between single-ended and balanced inputs. 

 

7) Balanced inputs.

 Connect a preamplifier provided with balanced outputs. Female 3-pin 

xlr connectors. 1 is GND, 2 is send, 3 is return. 
 

8) Mode selector switch.

 Allows to choose between stereo and bridged mono operation. 

 

9) Trigger inputs.

 A 12V trigger signal may be sent to one of this inputs to switch 

CROSBY

 

on and off by the preamplifier or other trigger source. The two inputs are in parallel, 
therefore the unused one may be used to forward the trigger signal to another unit (e.g. to 
another 

CROSBY

 when two 

CROSBY

 are used in bridged mono mode to obtain more power 

to drive difficult speakers). 
 

10) Trigger enable switch.

 When trigger is enabled, the 

CROSBY

 needs a trigger signal on 

one of its trigger inputs to activate. When trigger is disabled, the 

CROSBY

 immediately 

powers up when the read power switch is engaged. 
 

11) Output binding posts.

 Accept bare wire, forks, spades, lugs and bananas. Red is 

positive and black is negative 
 

12) Power cord socket.

 Connect the stock power cord to this socket. 

 

13) Fuse holder.

 It holds 1 slow blow fuse, please read the information on rear panel for 

the correct value for the selected mains voltage.
