12.
Permanent hearing loss may be caused by
exposure to \ extremely high noise levels.
The US. Government's Occupational Safety

0,25 or less
According to OSHA, an exposure to high SPL in
excess of these limits may result in the loss of
heat. To avoid the potential damage of heat, it is
recommended that Personnel exposed to
equipment capable of generating high SPL use
hearing protection while such equipment is
under operation.
The apparatus shall be connected to a mains
socket outlet with a protective earthing
connection.
The mains plug or an appliance coupler is used
as the disconnect device, the disconnect device
shall remain readily operable.

1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing one of our MISTRAL stereo power amplifier.
The MISTRIAL 2500/4000/6000 are the line of high power, low profile, professional
power amplifiers with advanced features and great reliability. An automatic speed
fan matches cooling capacity with heat requirements. The amplifiers contains two
independent channels, with separate AC transformer secondaries, power supplies
and protections system. Each channel has independent protective circuitry against
open circuit, short circuit, mismatched loads and over temperature and LED
indicators for operating/protection, limit, power on and clip. The power outputs
employ standard power connectors and all the inputs are electronically balanced.
Enjoy your MISTRAL stereo power amplifier and make sure to read this Manual
carefully before operation.
2. FEATURES

Solid and durable can be mounted into a cabinet
User-controllable clip limiter
2 700 watt EIAJ on 4 ohms for MISTRAL 2500
2 1000 watt EIAJ on 4 ohms for MISTRAL 4000
2 1400 watt EIAJ on 4 ohms for MISTRAL 6000
Stereo (dual-channel) or bridge mono operating modes
Balanced XLR inputs/parallel outputs to ensure noiseless long wiring
Binding post and Neutrik Speakon connectors for output
Single channel, bridge and bi-amp output wiring possibility
Front panel LED indicators for operating/protection, limit, power on and clip
Accurate gain control
Independent DC and thermal overload protection on each channel automatically
protects amplifier and speakers
Over-heat protection for each channel
Manufactured under QS9000, VDA6.1 certified management system

CLIP LED
When the signal distortion reaches or surpasses 0.5% , the LED lights up. This
means the output level of signal source is too high and it is time to reduce the
input level until the LED turns off.
3
OUTPUT LIMITER LED
When the unit limits the output signal, the LED lights up.
4
OPERATION AND PROTECTION LED
In normal operation, the LED is green; If the LED is red, it means the unit is in
heat protection, no signal output at the time and over-heat inside the unit (the
surface temperature of power transistor is 110 ), the temperature must be
lowered through better ventilation and decrease the signal level etc. After the
temperature dropped, the protection stop and meanwhile the LED turns off with
the unit recover normal work.

This LED lights up when the unit is powered on.

This fan secures enough cooling for your amplifier. The fan speed is electronically
regulated depending on the temperature of the power devices.
NOTE:
For MISTRAL 2500/4000, the fans are on the rear panel.
For MISTRAL 6000, the fan is on the front panel.

a. IEC SOCKET FOR AC POWER CABLE (For MISTRAL 2500/4000)
Connect the supplied main cord. Do not insert the power cord into the MISTRAL
stereo power amplifier and into the AC Outlet until voltage has been correctly
set.
b. POWER CORD (Only for MISTRAL 6000)
This is an IEC power cord. You can connect the plug of power cord to the mains.
Please make sure the voltage accepted by the unit.

CIRCUIT BREAKER (Manual reset button)
This is an electronic fuse for protecting the unit from possible damage. When
the unit is overloaded or the temperature inside the unit is too high, this push
type button will spring out and disconnect the power supply. Push the Breaker
to restore normal working conditions.
OUTPUT CONNECTOR
