SCHEMATIC NOTES

1. Unless otherwise spec i f i e d : Resistance v a l u e s are in ohms, 1/4 w a t t , and 10% to 1erance;
capacitance v a l u e s sma llr than 1 a re in microfarads (µF) : capacitance v a l u e s greater
than 1 are in picofarads (pF); inductors are in m i c r o h e n r i e s (µH).

2. P r i n t e d c i r c u i t board components a re ou t1i ned on the schema t i c s by dotted l i n e s . The

c i rcled numbers on the dotted l i n e s correspond to the numbers on the PC board l a y o u t s .

3. The heavy li nes on the schema t i c s denote the pr ima ry s i g n a l p a t h .

4. The t e r m i n a l number i n g of rotary switches is for reference o n l y .

5. A l l voltages i nd i cated on the schemat i cs a re measu red under the f o 1 1 o w i ng cond i t i ons;

a. Use of an 11 megohm impedance VTVM.

b. A l l v o l t a g e s ± 10% w i t h respect to chassis ground.

c. No s i g n a l at i n p u t t e r m i n a l s .

d. AC i n p u t at 120 volts AC, 50/60Hz.

i n t o 8 ohm loads w i t h 1 KHz i n p u t s i g n a l .

a. Set M E T E R R A N G E s w i t c h to WATTS.

b. Adj us t pot en t i ometer R 1 2 5 on meter board for a r e a d i n g of 200 w a t t s on the l e f t meter.

c. A d j u s t R 1 2 6 for a r e a d i n g of 200 watts on the r i g h t meter.

d. Set METER RANGE switch to 0 dB

e. Adjust p o t e n t i ometer R 1 0 5 on meter board for a r e a d i n g of 0 on the D E C I B E L scale of the

l e f t meter.

f. Adjust RI06 for a r e a d i n g of 0 on the r i g h t meter.

8. Power a m p l i f i e r b i a s adjustment:

Operate MC 2205 at 120 v o l t s l i n e i n p u t w i t h no i n p u t s i g n a l . Measure the i n p u t power

( a p p r o x i m a t e l y 50 watts) or current (approximately O.4 amps). The b i a s potentiometers R241 &
R242 are located on the power output PC boards.

a. Turn both b i a s potentiometers f u l l ccw

b. Rotate b i a s ad jus tment cw to the p o i n t where the l i n e i n p u t power or current b e g i n s to
i ncrease then back off s l i g h t l y to the p o i n t where the l i n e in put reaches its l owest
va l ue .
c. Repeat step b for each channel i n d e p e n d e n t l y .
