Cooling Description
This digital amplier series is designed according to international 1 U size standards. The cooling methods is: pumping the outside air into inside the unit through the vents of the front panel, and the bring out the heat through the aluminium radiator in the unit and then out frim the rear panel vents. The "smart" variable speed DC fan is equipped in the unit, and then it can adjust the wind speed through the temperature detection and circuit detection for the heat sink module. When the unit inside overheats, it will adjust the fan speed to increase cooling eciency immediately.
Connection mode illustration
Stereo mode connection illustration
If ant heat-sink overheats, the detection circuit will reduce output power. If the amplier over­heats, the temperature protection detection circuit and its circuit will shut down and power o until it cools to safe temperature. After using this unit for a period of time (not referring to the turn-on time), if it can not meet the cooling eect after the fan running with high speed for a long time, please turn o the ma­chine and remove the mesh enclosure to clean up the dust (only for the unit with the mesh enclosure design).

5. OPERATION
Warning: Before turning on the unit, please make sure the unit is power o,
the power switch is in the "OFF/o" posi­tion, and all the volume knob has been set to the lowest position.
Speaker protection
Clpping not only make thw sound worse, but also will damage the high frequency drive unit. It is rec­ommended you that don´t do the clipping to the unit´s signal to protect the speaker. In addittion, to avoid the speaker drive circuit burned which is caused by the strong infrasound signal transmis­sion of the unit, breathing or the high level which is caused by the dropping of the microphone and the low frequency signals. It should take one of the followings ways:
1. Install the high-pass lter between the mixer
output and unit input.
2. Use the buil-in DSP to set the high-pass lter
(only for the unit with DSP).
3. Install a high-pass lter at the sides of the mix-
er. At the premise of without aecting the use, set the lter frequency as high as possi­ble. For example, for music is set to 35Hz, for the microphone is set to 75Hz. I each mixer´s input channel, set the frequency of the lter with the relevant channel below the lowest fundamental frequency.
Warning: Do not put the sensitive high­gain devices (such as tape deck) above
or below the unit directly. This will form a strong magnetic eld to cause a "buzzing" sound near the unshielded device. If you use a cabinet, we recommend you to place the sensi­tive devices at least 20cm to the units.
Start-up procedure
According to the users needs, please follow the connection illustration section of the stereo, bridge or mono mode of the manual to install, if it is necessary to change the mode, please disconnect the power supply.

Precautions
Although the units is protected when happens the internal and external fault, but you should take the folloing measures to let the unit´s operation to reach the optimum performance and the maxi­mum safety:
1. Before using the unit, please congure the unit rst to make it work normally. Include the connections of the input wiring and output wiring. The improper wiring connection will cause the serious operational diculties. The relevant conguration of the unit, please refer to the "Installation" section of the manual.
2. Please be careful when connect, select the signal source and control the output level. This can save you a lot of troubles.
Warning: Do not connect the output end to the power supply, the battery or the
primary power. This may cause electrical shock. Note: There is a signal passing after turning on the unit, the output interface may exist the fatal voltage.
Operation Front Panel
3. Do not short connect the ground wire and the input signal ground wire of the cable. this will form a ground loop and couse the oscillations.
4. Tampering of modifying the circuit without authorization will be dangerous and will make all services provided by agents lose ecacy.
5. Do not use the unit when the yellow clip LED is continued ashing.
6. Do not make the mixer overload, otherwise it will send a clipping signal to the unit. The unit will accurately reproduce such signals, which may cause speaker damage.
7. Do not use the unit when the load imped­ance is lower than the nominal. Because of the output protecton of the unit, this cong­uration will result to the premature cliping and speaker damage.

Operation Rear Panel
Signal LED
The corresponding LED will light up when the input signal exceeds
-32dB, -20 dB and 10dB. If the signal LED does not light up, please check the gain setting, the input connections, the signal audio source and whether the output line is short circuit. If the Signal 20dB or
-10dB Led illuminates with no signal input, there may be ystem oscillations or some other malfunction. Disconnect the load and fully reduce the gain. If the LED remains on, shows that the amplier needs servicing.
2 Gain
Control
The maximum voltage gain of the amplier varies depending on the model is shown of the designation. The gain controls are marked in dB of attenuation. There are 21 detents for repeatable adjustments. The upper 14 steps are about 1dB each, and settings should not be used for normal program levels, as the input headroom could be exceeded, but can be used for testing at reduced levels. At the mini­mum setting, the signal is completely cut o.
