2、nput Jacks (1, 2): accept a balanced as well as anunbalanced line level signal. The unbalanced line uses astandard tip-sleeve connection. The tip is positive and the sleeveis negative or ground. The balanced line uses a tip-ring-sleeveconnection. Tip is hot or positive (+), ring is cold or negative

Pay clos

5、e attention to polarity (shown on the back of theunit) when connecting your speakers. Connecting your speakersystems using the wrong polarity will not damage your speakers, butwill impact the quality of the sound (lack of bass and incorrect stereoimage).Speaker Outputs (5,6,7): the speaker output co

6、nnectors are 3-waybinding posts that will accept a standard banana plug, spade lugs,or bare wire. Make sure that all the connections are clean whenusing bare wire connections. If any strands of wire from oneconnector touch the adjacent connector, the sound will distort, andyour amplifier will overhe

In Mono Bridge mode, both the channel 1 LED and thechannel 2 LED will light in unison.Clip LED (14): the amplifier has true clip LEDs to help you properlycontrol the ampli

9、fiers output and achieve undistorted sound. Theclip LEDs for each channel light when your signal level is so strongthat the distortion occurs. The clip LED should not remainconstantly on or flash repeatedly during operation. For clean soundreproduction, the clip LED should only light occasionally fo

10、r aninstant. If the LED remains on or flashes repeatedly, you will heardistorted sound that can be damaging to your speaker systems. Ifthis occurs, reduce the signal level by lowering the input levelcontrol for the channel that is clipping or reduce the level at thesource. If the clip LED lights whe

11、n no signal is present, it mayindicate an RF signal on the output which may cause damage tospeakers (the RF signal will not be audible). Please note that whenyou are using the amplifier in the Mono Bridge mode, both clip LEDsof the bridged channels will operate simultaneously.Protect LED (11): when

23、(12,15): establish the input levels required for eachchannel. Only the Channel 1 Level Control (15) works in MonoBridge mode.OPERATIONTHE AMPLIFIERS POWER MUST BE TURNED OFF WHEN CHANGINGMODES OF OPERATION.Stereo OperationThe unit has two channels for stereo operation. Each channelprovides a separat

24、e and discrete signal at the speaker outputsaccording to the signal received at the inputs. The following instructionsare for applications with 4 Ohm or 8 Ohm speakers of matched powerratings.1. With the power off, set the OPERATION MODE SWITCH (3) to theSTEREO position.2. With the power off, connec

25、t your input cables to the channel 1 and 2inputs using the 1/4 INPUT JACKS (1, 2) of each channel.3. Connect the loudspeakers to the channel 1 and channel 2 SPEAKEROUTPUTS (5,7). THE TOTAL SPEAKER LOAD MUST BE AT LEAST 4OHMS PER CHANNEL. If you try to operate at a lower impedance, theamplifier will

26、go into protection mode and stop operation until youcorrect the load conditions.4. With the LEVEL CONTROLS (12,15) of both channels set to zero(fully counterclockwise), turn the POWER SWITCH (9) on. Apply asignal to the input of the amplifier. The level of the input signal shouldbe as high as you wi

27、ll ever need it to be. This way, it will be as highabove the amplifiers noise floor as possible, ensuring an excellentperformance and signal to noise ratio. Adjust the LEVEL CONTROLSfor each channel to achieve the desired maximum listening level.Note, when the clip LEDs light, there is distortion pr

28、esent in theamplifiers output section. If a clip LED remains on or flashesrepeatedly, reduce the signal level by lowering the input level controlfor the channel that is clipping or reduce the level at the source.Parallel Mono OperationFollow these instructions for Parallel Mono Operation using a sin

29、gleinput cable, and you will have the same monophonic signal on both thechannel 1 and the channel 2 outputs. Each channels output iscontrolled independently by that channels level control.1. With the power off, set the OPERATION MODE SWITCH (3) to thePARALLEL Mono position.2. With the power off, con

30、nect your input cables to the channel 1 inputonly using the 1/ 4 INPUT JACK (1) of channel 1.3. Connect the loudspeakers to the channel 1 and channel 2 SPEAKEROUTPUTS (5, 7). THE TOTAL SPEAKER LOAD MUST BE AT LEAST 4OHMS PER CHANNEL. If you try to operate at less than 4 Ohms perchannel, the amplifie

31、r will go into the protection mode and stopoperation until you correct the load conditions.4. With the LEVEL CONTROLS (12,15) set to zero (fullycounterclockwise), switch the power on. Apply a signal to the input.The level of the input signal should be as high as you will ever needit to be. This way,

32、 it will be as high above the amplifiers noise flooras possible, ensuring an excellent performance and signal to noiseratio. Adjust the LEVEL CONTROLS for each channel to achieve thedesired maximum listening level. Note, when the clip LEDs light, thereis distortion present in the amplifiers output s

33、ection. If a clip LEDremains on or flashes repeatedly, reduce the signal level by loweringthe input level control for the channel that is clipping or reduce thelevel at the source.Mono Bridge OperationFollow these instructions to bridge the units output. Bridging theamplifier converts the unit to a

34、monophonic or single channel amplifier.The amplifier can be used with 8 Ohm or higher loads only in MonoBridge mode. This mode is used to provide a higher voltage withgreater headroom to your speaker. Before setting your amplifier forMono Bridge operation, make sure that your speaker can handle theh

35、igh power level provided by the amplifier in Mono Bridge mode.CAUTION: VOLTAGE OVER 100 VOLTS MAY BE PRODUCED AT THEBRIDGE OUTPUT TERMINALS IN THIS MODE.1. With the power off, set the OPERATION MODE SWITCH (3) to theBRIDGE position.2. With the power off, connect your input cables to channel 1 input

36、onlyusing the 1/4 INPUT JACK (1) of channel 1.3. Connect the loudspeaker to the BRIDGE SPEAKER OUTPUT (6) only.Be sure the polarity of your connection is correct. The total speakerload must be at least 8 Ohms or above. If you try to operate at lessthan 8 Ohms in the Mono Bridge mode, the amplifier w

37、ill go into theprotection mode and stop operation until you correct the loadconditions.4. With the CHANNEL 1 LEVEL CONTROL (15) set to zero (fullycounterclockwise), switch the power on. Apply a signal to the input.The level of the input signal should be as high as you will ever needit to be. This wa

38、y, it will be as high above the amplifiers noise flooras possible, ensuring an excellent performance and signal to noiseratio. Adjust the LEVEL CONTROL (15) for channel 1 to achieve thedesired maximum listening level. Note, when the clip LEDs light, thereis distortion present in the amplifiers outpu

39、t section. If a clip LEDremains on or flashes repeatedly, reduce the signal level by loweringthe input level control for channel 1 or reduce the level at the source.During Mono Bridge operation, the channel 2 level is inactive,however, both channels LEDs will flash simultaneously and showoutput cond

40、itions.Using the Ground Lift SwitchDepending on your system configuration, sometimes applying theground will create a quieter signal path. Sometimes lifting the groundcan eliminate ground loops and hum to create a quieter signal path.1. With the power amp on, listen to the system in idle mode (no si

41、gnalpresent) with the ground applied (the GROUND LIFT SWITCH (4) inthe left position).2. Turn the power off before moving the GROUND LIFT SWITCH (4). Liftthe ground by moving the GROUND LIFT SWITCH to the right, turn thepower back on and listen to determine which position will provide asignal free o

42、f background noise and hum. Keep the GROUND LIFTSWITCH in the ground position if the noise level remains the same ineither position.CAUTION: DO NOT TERMINATE THE AC GROUND ON THE POWERAMPLIFIER IN ANY WAY.
