Biasing Six Pac help


Can somebody give me instructions on biasing the AES (Cary) Six Pac, please? I've just bought a pair on A'gon that came without biasing instructions. I have the biasing jack and multimeter. Amp on, speakers connected or not? Thanks!

I spoke to Gerald about the very same thing. He said that it's ok to insert/remove the plug into the bias jack while the amp is on....your speakers may not like it, but it shouldn't cause any harm to the amp.

I initially followed the directions in Cruz123's post, but since have had no problems just plugging/unplugging the test jack while the amp is on. I do have my multimeter already turned on and set to the correct range BEFORE I plug in the test leads. The suggested bias point for the Six Pacs is 220mA.
Springbok10,

I'm not sure if it will work without the speakers connected as I've never tried. I would ask Gerald at Cary.

Enjoy!
Springbok10,

I'm not at all familiar with the multimeter that you have. What is it's maximum range in milliamps? My multimeter only measures up to 500mA and uses a needle to check the reading. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
