FEATURES:
- 2 Sets of RCA inputs
- LEVEL: Variable sensitivity from 0.2V to 6V
- BASS EQ: Adjustable 45Hz bass boost from 0dB to 9dB
- X-OVER: Selects internal crossover functions
- FULL: Bypasses all crossovers for full frequency operation
- LP: Selects the built in LOW PASS filter, variable from 30Hz to 150Hz
- HP: Selects the built in HIGH PASS filter, variable from 10Hz to 1.2kHz
- POWER LED: Indicates the powered up and turned on condition
- PROTECTION LED: Indicates a high voltage, low voltage, short circuit,
hard clip, over heating or DC fault condition.
- MODE: “2CH” indicates one set of RCA’s are being used. This will also pass signal to channels 3/4 through 1/2 inputs.
“4CH” indicates connecting 2 sets of RCA’s to 1/2 and
3/4 inputs.
- LINE OUTPUT: Full range RCA pass through.

Interconnect cable checklist:
- Refer to the section “Settings for Best Performance”
- Connect the four inputs of the amplifier to a Radio/CD with quality RCA cables.

Minimum final loudspeaker impedances:
- 1/2CH X-OVER: FULL
- 2 ohm per channel.
- 3/4CH X-OVER: FULL
MODE: “4CH” since 2 sets of RCA’s are connected.
Important: Do not be tempted to connect the hot, or positive outputs, from any source together

to obtain a mono signal, as this could very well damage the output stage of that source.
- It is necessary to feed the SAME signal to both left and right inputs via a Y-adapter RCA cable.
