1 - COOLERS: The GHD 3000, has one internal ventilation cooler, and cannot be blocked. For
perfect functioning, the amplifier must be installed in a cool and aired place. It is recommended
not to embed it, so that the air circulates throughout the inside of the product extension, thereby
preventing the thermal protection from acting.
2 - SPEAKER: Output (positive and negative) to transducer’s connection (loudspeakers). Follow
the polarity described and the minimum impedance recommended.
To combine loudspeakers, the resulting impedance must be taken into consideration.
NOTE: Impedances lower than the one supported at the output can activate the short-circuit
protection.
3 - POSITIVE POWER SUPPLY TERMINAL: Use a 21mm² (4 AWG) cable directly from the
positive battery terminal with fuse (170 A), as close as possible from the battery.
4 - REMOTE TERMINAL: The remote CD/DVD Player output must be connected by a 1.5mm²²
(15 AWG) cable.
5 - NEGATIVE POWER SUPPLY TERMINAL: A 21mm² (4 AWG) cable as short as possible must
be used, connected to the negative battery pole.
It is recommended that all cables must have tinned ends to improve electrical contact.

LEDs Indicadors and Protection Systems
Functions and inputs
1 - INPUT (R and L): Inputs of signals to be amplified. Connect these signals to RCA outputs of
CD/DVD Player, using good quality shielded cables to avoid noise influence.
2 - LEVEL: It sets the amplifier input sensitivity, which allows an optimal adjustment to the output
signals levels of nearly all models of CD/DVD Players found in the market.
3 - CROSSOVER
HIGH PASS: Variable adjustment from 10Hz to 80Hz, which determines the beginning of the
amplifier operating frequency.
LOW PASS: Variable adjustment from 80Hz to FULL, which determines the end of the
amplifier operating frequency.
4 - BASS BOOST: Boost for bass levels in 80Hz, with amplitude from 0 to 10 dB.
5 - MONITOR: Connection to an accessory, which function is to monitor the amplifier and it is
where all information from the indicator LEDs, such as distortion (CLIP/TEMP) and protection
actuation (PROT), will be displayed simultaneously.

Red LED :steady on
Short-circuit or impedance lower than that supported at output.
Flashing yellow LED continuously: Excessive internal temperature (May be caused by
obstruction of the internal cooler, improper installation or poorly ventilated location).
Blinking yellow LED according to music: Indicates that the amplifier is operating at the
threshold of distortion. If the red led also blinks, it indicates excessive distortion.
Red LED flashes 2x:
Supply voltage less than 9V.
Red LED flashes 3x:
Power supply voltage greater than 16V.
Blue LED steady on:
Indicates that the amplifier is turned on.
