DAA2 Installation DAA2 Digital Audio Amplifiers
One backup amplifier may be used to back up as many as 31 primary amplifiers. All primary
amplifiers backed by the same backup amplifier must each be wired in the same style or
combination of styles; for example, all wired Class A, or all wired Class B, or all wired with one
Class A and two Class B circuits.
A backup amplifier can support one failed primary amplifier at a time. Should another primary
amplifier also fail, depending on load, the backup amplifier may also fail, generating an
AMPLIFIER LIMIT trouble until the load is reduced or reset.
