Phonic MAX 1000 User Guide

4 MAX 1000 / 1600
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a fantastic MAX
series power amplier from Phonic. Based on years
of experience in designing and manufacturing profes-
sional audio equipment, we at Phonic designed this
power amplier for those who need an extremely
powerful, reliable and sturdy amplier with a small
footprint. Taking advantage of its huge heat sink as
well as its variable speed fan that auto-adjusts fan
speed depending on the temperature of the machine
during operation, MAX power amps are always able to
perform. Its professional quality output and its sturdy
case design make this unit great for various locations
like churches, concert tours, stages, disco, pubs, or
any place that requires amplier installation.
This unit is designed with great care and great atten-
tion to details, so please read this manual carefully.
Look after it and keep it in a safe place for future
reference.

INSTALLATION
MOUNTING THE UNIT
Designed to t into a standard 19-inch rack, this unit
only takes up 2 units of rack space. Secure the unit
with 4 rack-mount screws and cup washers. In gen-
eral, power ampliers usually are heavier than any
other audio equipment, so when installing this unit
onto a rack, begin placing it from the bottom of the
rack. Leave 1-rack space between power ampliers
and other devices to guarantee better cooling (see
Figure 1).
PLEASE NOTE
● Check the AC voltage before connecting the power
plug to the outlet. Make sure the AC power supply
shares the same voltage used in your country (For
example, while some countries use 100V, others
use 120V, 230V, or 240V). Please ensure your
device is properly grounded. Under no circum-
stances should the ground pin be removed from
the AC power cable.
● Before turning on the power, make sure the gain
controls are turned all the way down to prevent
other equipment from harm.
● Check your cables regularly and label each end
clearly for easy identication.
● Always turn the power off before connecting to and
disconnecting from the unit.
● NEVER use solvents to clean the unit. Clean it with
a soft and damp or dry cloth.
