INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a MAX series power am-
plier. Based on years of experience in designing
and manufacturing professional 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 tem-
perature 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.

GETTING STARTED
●
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.
●
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 o󰀨 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.
INSTALLATION
MOUNTING THE UNIT
Designed to t into a standard 19-inch rack, this unit
only takes up 2 units of rack space. Secure this 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).
