Operating Precautions

Operation Modes

Stereo Operation

Channels operate independently, controlled by individual attenuators.

Parallel Operation

Single input drives both channels, input attenuators active.

Bridged Operation

Combines both channels for single-channel monaural output, use caution.

Protection Features

Distortion Detection Technique™ (DDT)

Reduces gain to prevent clipping and protect speakers from square waves.

Turn-On/Turn-Off Protection

Outputs disconnected for ~6 seconds at power-up for stabilization.

LFC™ Impedance Sensing

Adjusts gain to safe level for overstressed loads, superior to conventional limiting.

RAMPUP™ Signal Control

Gradually raises signal after power-up, prevents bursts, extends contact life.

Thermal Protection

Shuts down channel if heat sink reaches 75°C to prevent overheating.

Short Circuit Protection

LFC circuit senses shorts, attenuates signal, eventually disconnects load.

DC Voltage Protection

Opens output relay to prevent speaker damage from DC voltage or subsonic frequencies.

Safety

Speaker Protection
