The trouble-free life of an electronic instrument is greatly extended by providing sufficient ventilation to prevent the build-up of high internal temperatures that cause deterioration. Allow enough clearance so that cool air can enter at the bottom of the cabinet and be vented from the top. With adequate ventilation the instrument can be mounted in any position. The recommended minimum space for installation is 15 inches (38.1 cm) deep, 17 inches (43.2 cm) wide, and 6 inches (15.2 cm) high.

Connect the BALANCED OUTPUT RIGHT on the preamplifier to power amplifier right XLR connector. Pin configuration of the XLR connectors is: PIN 1: Shield ground PIN 2: + OUT PIN 3: - OUT.
provide additional capacity of 1800 watts which is controlled by the AC power switch on the C 35. Use these outlets to supply AC power to amplifiers or other components when the total load switched exceeds the C 35 rating of 1500 watts. Plug the computer-type connector on the cable attached to the SCR 3 into the SCR socket on the rear of the C 35. Plug the SCR 3 heavy, AC power line cord directly into a wall outlet. Do not plug it into the C 35.
The back cover of this manual folds out to show photographs of the front and rear panels of the C 35. Fold it out to assist you in identifying and locating the controls on the photographs. The letters refer to the paragraphs that follow. The glass upper half of the C 35 front panel is the message center. It illustrates the source, volume setting, mode of operation, tape facilities in use, and connected operating speakers.
G. SPEAKER 1 and 2 The SPEAKER 1 and 2 buttons can be used to switch on or off either the SWITCHED 1 and 2 AUDIO OUTPUTS jacks or the main and remote speakers when an optional SPEAKER CONTROL RELAY (SCR 3} is used. The SWITCHED 1 and 2 jacks on the rear panel of the C 35 have the same program as the MAIN OUTPUT. When one or both SPKR1 and SPKR2 indicators are lighted in the message center, the program is connected to the corresponding AUDIO OUTPUTS jacks.

FULL ELECTRONIC SWITCHING All signal switching including input tape, tape-totape, and mono is done elctronically using J-FET field effect analog switches. All the front panel switches control small amounts of DC voltage which turn the FET analog switches on and off. The critical audio signals are switched silently with instantaneous muting between switch positions. No transient switching noises or pops are present with this superior design.
