Rear Panel Layout

Figure 1: 760A Backpanel

When you’re using the balanced XLR inputs, you 
must first remove the factory installed “dummy” 
XLR jumpers (see figure 2 below) from the back 
panel XLR connectors and store them in a safe 
place. These jumpers are required ONLY when 
using the single-ended RCA inputs. If you decide 
to switch to single-ended input mode, you must 
reinstall the XLR jumpers (between pins 1 and 3) 
exactly as show below:

There are two pairs of heavy duty gold-plated 
speaker binding posts for each channel to 
accommodate bi-wiring. They are each labelled 
“Right Speaker Out” and “Left Speaker Out”. 

The lower left section has an RS-232 input on a 
DB9 connector. To the right of this connector are 
two 12 Volt triggers, each on a 1/8” mini-jack; 
one input and one output, the latter for use in 
the event that wish you to “daisy chain” a second 
power amplifier on the same trigger circuit. The 
lower right section has from left to right; the “AC 
Fuse” socket cover; the power “main switch”; 
and the “AC Input” IEC receptacle for the power 
cord.

The rear panel will look similar to Figure 1 (above). Each channel has one balanced (differential) input on an 
XLR connector and one unbalanced (single-ended) input on a RCA connector. There is no switch to toggle 
from balanced mode to single-ended mode. You may operate the amplifier in either mode, but only one mode 
at one time for each channel.
