Need Help! Need Information about this Altec Gear I just Got...

[Oscar A]

The output of the 1581A Line Amplifier is a four screw terminal What looks like an XLR female connector is not really an XLR . The cable assembly model 14953 is a three wire cable to interconnect the power supply and other units.
INPUT: 3-socket
OUTPUT: 4 screw terminal
POWER: 2 3 -pin plugs

how should I wire/output the 4 screw output terminal to a 1/4 out or XLR out? Right now it seem to be going to a terminal strip on the chassis...

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">OscarA theres an interconnect for multiple units
and there is an output connection to amp in.

Wich one is the line out for an amplifier. That is what he's looking for.

You can take the output from the barier strip
to a 1/4 jack.

you talking about the output from the barier strip at "600 ohm to 23rd flr."?



man you have been such good help!

[LICORNE]

Yes that is the one. This is your 600 ohms line out to your amplifier.

He said something about the powrer suply .Is there
an input on the power suply?

What are those 2 black holes on the power suply?

If you look on the 1581A Line Amplifier there are two of the same jacks. There is a cable that connects the power supply to the line amplifier... i have the cable plugged into the amplifier but unplugged it from the power supply to remove it and clean it off. Thats why those two jacks are unconnected...

[jordanh]

how do I actually input/output to this thing? I noticed two of the preamp modules have RCA? styled jacks coming out-- maybe this is a clue...

Thanks for all your help guys! Getting closer...

[LICORNE]

Ho,Ok so evry thing should work out ok.

It's hard for us when you don't have the unit in front of you to work with.

So I have to log off for now it's 1.25 AM .


If you have more questions don't hesitate.
