Important Safety Information
This lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of non-insulated “dangerous voltage”
within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a
risk of electric shock.
Warning: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back) as
there are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to

Balanced Inputs (XLR)
Balanced connections provide greater dynamic range and lower noise. If your source has balanced outputs, please connect them
to the balanced input of 9000P. You will need one XLR balanced cable per channel.
Unbalanced Input (LINE)
If you cannot use the XLR inputs, connect a RCA to RCA cable between the unbalanced inputs on the 9000P rear panel with the
matching output of the source unit.
12V Trigger Connection
The 9000P features one 12V trigger in connections. Use the output to control other products. The trigger connections are made
using "3.5 to 3.5mm" jack interconnects (not include).
Mains Input
Before connecting the AC power cord to the 9000P, please make sure the Power Switch is in the OFF position. Switch it to the ON
position after connecting the unit to the AC mains.

Switching on and off
The 9000P should be switched on after the preamplifier or source devices in your system. When switching off your system, turn off the 9000P power amplifier before switching
off the preamplifier or source devices (the 9000P should be ‘last on, first off’).
Standby Mode
The 9000P will enter standby mode after being powered on. Press the “Standby” button to bring the 9000P out of standby, the power indicator LED becomes brighter.
Auto Standby
The auto standby feature will by default put the unit into standby after 20 minutes of inactivity. This feature can be configured and set to 20 minutes, 1h or ‘never’.
Long press the standby button on front panel for 5 seconds to activate the 'auto standby' setting. The standby LED will flash as you cycle 20m, 1h or never.
Standby LED flashes once = Never
Standby LED flashes twice = 20 minutes (Default)
Standby LED flashes three times = 1 hour
Source Select
Press the LINE/XLR button on the rear panel to select different source mode.
Bridge Mode
The Audiolab 9000P can operate as a stereo power amplifier (stereo mode) or a mono power amplifier (bridge mode).
To activate MONO mode, press the STEREO/BRIDGE selector ‘in’ on rear panel.
You will need two Audiolab 9000P amplifiers if using bridge mode (one for each channel). Connect the 9000Q to two 9000P units in the bridge mode connection as shown in on
the next page of this manual.
Protection Mode
The Audiolab 9000P is protected by a thermal switch which interrupts the AC power supply if the amplifier is grossly overloaded for a period of time. In case of activation of the
‘protection mode’ the power indicator LED flashes to indicated that the unit is in ‘protection mode’. To restore operation, simply press the standby button on the front panel.
The Audiolab 9000P is fully protected against gross load and a short circuited output. The unit is not necessarily protected against seriously inadequate ventilation, so please
