Getting Started - Aguilar AG 700 Mode D'emploi

II. Getting Started
A. Manual Conventions:
In this manual, words that appear in italics represent
actual physical controls on the AG 700.
B. Basic Setup:
Input Voltage: 100-240~VAC 50/60 Hz
Mains Fuse: Internal T 6.3 A H/250 V
Maximum power consumption: 835 W
The AG 700 features a universal AC mains input, allowing it to
operate on any standard AC mains voltage ranging from 100 to
240 volts with frequency of either 50 or 60 Hz.
Connect your speaker cabinet(s) to the amplifier's speaker
output(s) using only cable(s) with Speakon to Speakon
connections, or Speakon to ¼" connections with an insulated
barrel. The AG 700 amplifier uses a bridge-tied load topology. This
means that both speaker output terminals are connected to
hazardous voltage. Thus, using a ¼" plug with non-isolated barrel
could present a risk of an electric shock.
Speaker outputs are wired to pins 1+ and 1- on provided 4 pole
Speakon connectors on the back panel of AG 700. These
connectors will mate with any standard 2 pole or 4 pole Speakon
plugs and will work with any standard 2 or 4 wire Speakon to
Speakon speaker cable. Use 12-gauge or larger speaker cable to
prevent temperature rise in the cable. Increased temperature
could compromise the electrical insulation in the cable and
increase the risk of fire and electric shock.
The amount of power this amplifier will produce varies with
the impedance rating of your cabinets.
8 Ω (one 8 Ω cabinet) – 350 W
4 Ω (one 4 Ω or two 8 Ω cabinets) – 700 W
2.67 Ω (one 8 Ω and one 4 Ω or three 8 Ω cabinet) – 700 W
Connect the amplifier to the AC power outlet using
provided power cord.
Plug in your instrument.
With the Master volume down, turn on your amplifier. Adjust
