RKB-650 Six Channel Power Amplifier NOTE: You can remove the feet from the bottom of the amplifier if necessary for clearance in the rack. Save the feet and hardware for future use. After the adaptors are installed, use four bolts supplied with your equipment rack to mount the amplifier. Be sure that all four bolts are tightened properly. Rack Handles The rack mount brackets are supplied with handles which can be installed or removed.
English 9 Circuit Breaker A 16 amp circuit breaker on the rear panel protects the amplifier’s electrical circuity. Generally, the circuit breaker will only open under a fault condition which results in excessive current draw. To reset the circuit breaker, press the button. Should it repeatedly open, contact your authorized Rotel dealer for troubleshooting assistance.
RKB-650 Six Channel Power Amplifier Speakers The RKB-650 has three groups of speaker connectors, one for each pair of amplifier channels. Speaker Selection The nominal impedance of the loudspeaker(s) connected to the RKB-650 should be a minimum of 4 ohms. When driving multiple pairs of speakers connected in parallel, the effective impedance the amplifier sees is cut in half. For example, when driving two pair of 8 ohm speakers, the amplifier sees a 4 ohm load.
