Connections and circuit (ideal SPICE model)
Inputs, outputs, power and control as its own documents name them (no RTO-144 sheet for it: pin numbers only where the page gives them). Run the generator, turn the gain, watch the VU.
Pinout & connections
Each contact as its own documents name it: 3 named (3 medium confidence). An empty slot is a contact no page names. Hover a contact for its source; the table under the drawing lists them.

The M61O 10 watt audio power amplifier is an ac operated, plug-in module de- signed for professional applications in the broadcast, motion picture and sound recording industries The unit represents the continuing development and expansion of the well proven WBS 600 series of 3Y2 inch modular components and offers a wider scope of selection for monitor amplifiers from this design category The circuit utilizes differential operational amplifiers to produce an ultra- reliable transformerless design capable of developing minimum of 10 watts rms to drive an 8 ohm loudspeaker directly_ Other load impedances (4, 16 ohms, etc.) may be accommodated with appropriate power output inter- polation.
A unique protection circuit incorporated within the M610 activates instan- taneously during adverse amplifier load conditions or at predetermined power output level. The amplifier does not sustain damage even when deliberately shorted at full power output: A combination of conditional frame strapping and variable front panel level control permits the M61O to operate over an input signal range of 20dBm to +18dBm: The M61O presents permanent 2Ok ohm impedance at the input and is capable of operating from a balanced or unbalanced source.
The unit exhibits exceeding Iy uniform frequency response with Iow noise and distortion over the frequency range 30Hz to 20kHz: The modest size of 3.4W x 3.4H x 13.7D inches allows five M610 monitor am- plifiers to be accommodated in one standard rack mounting ( 19W 3.5H) MF6 equipment frame. FEATURES: 1Ow rms direct output into 8 ohms Compact design mounts in standard WBS 3-% inch MF6 rack frame Self contained power supply Operational amplifier transformer- less 1C design with unique short- circuit protection 20k bridging input balanced/ unbalanced Active elements contained on plug-in subsidiary PC card WBS M6io
