Re: PA circuit

["Rocky" <gafa@xxxxxxx>]

Joe,   are the outputs from the amps  for  ohm  loads (4,6,16, etc...)   or
is it using line level  (25 volt, 70 volt)
If line level,  make sure all the speaker tap transformers are set  fairly
close to the same level  ( .5 watt, 1.5 watt, etc...)
If they are using ohm load,  then the wires that attach to the amp  must
match the acceptable range on the amp  (4 ohms, 8 ohms 16 ohms...)
(If not,  like Able1  said  they most likely let the smoke out....)
However  some expensive amps have auto disconnects,  if that's the case
correct the load problem,  and it should work..
this link  is for a bogen general classic amp.  you might be able to figure
out what you need to do from it..

Pa's  are not that big a deal   but like everything else  they take a little
getting use too..

Running for the door might be a wise
decision...........................................

Got no clue but from what you describe the new thingie may have let out the
invisible smoke.
