The DSP 2-150 MKII is capable of being directly stacked with the
feet removed for use in low to moderate output applications (see
Figure 16). For high-output applications, it is recommended to leave

UNPLUG THE AMPLIFIER’S POWER CORD FROM THE WALL OUTLET
BEFORE TROUBLESHOOTING.

protection circuit will activate, disconnecting all channel outputs.
This is indicated by a blinking light on the front panel power switch.
NOTE: IF SHELF MOUNTING, ATTACH THE FOUR INCLUDED FEET BY
SCREWING THEM INTO THE THREADED OPENINGS ON THE BOTTOM
CHASSIS. NO TOOL IS REQUIRED.
