The intemal SPEAKER SUB provides a matched and
calibrated load for audio power measurements and
eliminates unwanted audio noise during routine test-
ing. The SPEAKER SUB used in conjunction with
the AUDIO WATTS function of the DIGITAL
READOUT provides a convenient method of deter-
mining receiver output power and receiver sensitivity.
To use the AUDIO WATTS and SPEAKER SUB:
1. Connect the speaker output to the SPEAKER
SUB input jack using one of the supplied audio
cables. Since most receivers have a miniature
phone jack for the extemal speakeroutput, one
of the audio cables is supplied with a miniature
phone plug. The other cable provides alligator
connectors for direct connection to a speakeror
intemal connection.
2. Select a rated speaker load using the SPEAKER
SUB switch.
a. The internal 10 Watt load is used to provide
4, 8, or 16 Ohm termination. When the

internal SPEAKER SUB is used, the AUDIO
WATTS function reads the output power
directly.
b. If an external speaher or load is used, select
the SPEAKER position on the SPEAKER
SUB switch. In this position, the AUDIO
WATTS function will read directly if an 8
Ohm load is used. If a 4 Ohm load is used, the
reading of the AUDIO WATTS function must
be doubled. If a 16 Ohm load is used, the
reading must be halved for the actual audio
power.
3. Set the DIGITAL READOUT SELECTOR to
the AUDIO WATTS position. The DIGITAL
READOUT will now read the audio output
power of the amplifier section in RMS Watts.
NOTE: For specific applications of the
AUDIO WATTS function, see the Applica-
tions Section.
