AudioSource AMP 100 - User Manual

AMP 100 User Manual
2 Channel Amplifier
With Auto Switching Dual Inputs
Congratulations on your purchase of the AudioSource AMP100 amplifier. We trust that you will enjoy the value and quality of your AudioSource AMP100
for many years. Please take a few moments to read this manual and retain it for your reference.
AMP100 Overview
The AudioSource AMP100 represents the very latest in affordable state of the art in amplifier design. Featuring dual inputs, its inputs are signal
sensing, which means that the amp can be configured to turn on automatically when music is sensed on the input RCAs. Input one will override input
two whenever signal is present. This makes the AMP100 the perfect amplifier as a zone amplifier for multi-room distribution systems. Any time a
local source is activated, it will take priority over the whole house audio by simply showing signal present at input one of the AMP100. Also, use the
AMP100 as amplification for your computer or video games. The AMP100 also has two pair of speaker outputs to allow the amp to run a main, or A
pair of speakers, as well as an auxiliary, or B pair of speakers and allows selection of either, or both, from the front panel of the amplifier.
Note: When using A & B speaker together it is imperative that the speaker systems all be a minimum 8-ohm impedance.
