    Mesa 7i33 and AMC amplifiers

    I am working on finishing my retrofit and have come across an issue. The mesa 7i33 outputs the +-10v analog signal on one pin and the AMC drive has analog + input on 1 pin and analog - on another pin. How would I connect it to work correctly?

    You should check the manuals to make sure (read: i take no responsibility for if the smoke comes out!), but...

    I would guess the drive wants the 7i33's ground on its "Analog -" input pin, and the 7i33's +/-10V output on its "Analog +" input pin.

    Just a guess...

    This way should work OK.
    If you go to the AMC Engineering & Installation site, it shows typical schematics of interfacing to various equipment.
    The 7i33's common will be the AMC -ref.
