Summary

Important Safety Instructions

Safety Guidelines and Precautions

Detailed numbered safety instructions covering usage, cleaning, installation, and noise exposure.

Getting Started

Unpacking and Inspection

Inspect amplifier for damage upon arrival and notify supplier.

Mounting and Rack Installation

Amplifiers mount in 19" racks; rear ears for support are recommended.

Cooling Requirements

Forced-air cooling system requires unobstructed airflow for optimal operation.

Introduction and Connectivity

Operating Precautions

Ensure correct mains voltage and turn off amplifier before making audio connections.

Connecting Inputs

Use three-pin XLR or 6.3 mm 'combi' connectors for input connections.

Connecting Outputs

Outputs connect via binding posts or Speakon connectors using various plug types.

Connecting Power

Verify mains voltage and turn off amplifier before connecting power.

Wire Gauge Charts

Power Loss Tables

Tables detailing power loss based on wire gauge and cable length for different impedances.

Operation Modes

Stereo Operation

Independent channel operation with individual level control via attenuators.

Parallel Operation

Single input drives both channels; attenuators set individual levels.

Bridged Mono Operation

Combines channels for mono output; use caution due to high voltage.

Front Panel Controls

AC Power Switch;Circuit Breaker

Front panel combination AC switch and circuit breaker.

Input Attenuators

Controls signal level for each amplifier channel to manage headroom.

Rear Panel Controls

CONN. MODE Select Switch

Selects parallel or independent input connector mode.

AMP MODE Select Switch

Determines amplifier operation mode: Stereo or Bridged Mono.

Indicators

PWR LED

Indicates channel is operational and powered on.

SIG LED

Illuminates when an output signal greater than 1V RMS is present.

DDT LED

Illuminates at onset of clipping, indicating gain reduction or clip limiting.

Protection Features

Distortion Detection Technique Limiting

Reduces channel gain to prevent speaker damage from clipping.

LFC Impedance Sensing

Adjusts gain for overstressed loads and disconnects load if necessary.

Thermal Protection

Opens speaker relay if heat sink reaches 85°C to prevent overheating.

Short Circuit Protection

LFC circuit attenuates signal; thermal protection may disconnect load.

DC Voltage Protection

Opens speaker relay if DC voltage or subsonic frequencies are detected.

Turn-On;Turn-Off Protection

Mutes signals and keeps relays open for ~4 seconds during power cycling.
