Usage Features:

The amplifier features several controls and indicators on its front panel:

DIN Input: This input can be used to power Orion crossovers and equalizers that use the same style DIN plug. The DIN plug diagram shows the pin assignments:
1. -15 Volts
2. Left Input
3. Ground
4. Right Input
5. +15 Volts
Right RCA Input / Left RCA Input: Standard RCA inputs for audio signals.
L & R Peak LEDs: Indicators for signal peaks.
Gain: Control for adjusting the input sensitivity.
EQ Button: This button activates the equalization feature. The equalization on SX and HCCA amps offers boost/cut at three center frequencies: 15dB of boost at 40Hz, 4dB cut at 200Hz, and 6dB of boost at 10KHz.
MONO Button: Used for bridging the amplifier.
Power On LED: Indicates when the amplifier is powered on.

Wiring Codes for SX and HCCA Amplifiers:

Orange: Right Positive
Black/Orange: Right Negative
Yellow: Left Positive
Black/Yellow: Left Negative
Blue: Remote Turn On

Bridging a SX or HCCA Amplifier:

To bridge an SX or HCCA amplifier for mono operation, follow these steps:

Use the Orange wire for the Positive connection.
Use the Black/Yellow wire for the Negative connection.
Push "in" the MONO button on the amplifier.

Maintenance Features:

The manual does not explicitly detail maintenance features beyond the technical specifications and usage instructions. However, the inclusion of fuse sizes implies that fuse replacement might be a maintenance task. For any questions regarding the product, users are directed to call Technical Support at 1-480-705-5600.
