    Default Power Connections for a 6215HB Amp

    Hi Folks,

    Can someone please identify which power pins are which on this CT-6215hb amp (the white connection)? I don't have the cables or a manual that defines it. It is obvious that the middle two pins are ground, but which is +24v and which is -24V.

    Here's the pinout for the connector that plugs into that board connector

    If you need it, here's a copy of the manual: https://www.dropbox.com/s/aw1btivyf5...t2008.pdf?dl=0

    In case the image isn't showing correctly, it's page 8 of that manual

    Thank you good sir! My googling skills were failing me. Why CT doesn't have it on their site befuddles me.

    I just found the power cables a few minutes ago. How does one lose power cables while in the middle of a build? With a high degree of shame, its because I make my workspace into a disaster area during projects:

    The garage where I do my metal work is even sadder. .

    Thanks again for the info!

    A follow up question? On the same CT-6215 amp, can anyone confirm if TP1 is the position indicator that ranges from +10VDC to -10VDC. I have a device that needs to connect to it and I don't want to get this wrong as a set of 6215s are quite expensive for a hobbyist like myself.

    I can't for the life of me figure out how you would misplace anything. Looks pretty organized to me.

    I'm still waiting for a picture of the metal working area from the garage!

    That's WAY too embarrassing!

    I did find the answer to the position feedback on those amps though:

    I know this was answered already but a helpful hint for everyone; If you can see the traces on the board relatively well enough, you can see which side of the filter capacitors the power leads connect to. You can throw a multimeter on it to and check for continuity. Many times, I have sussed out polarity using this method since the electrolytics are normally marked.
