Unpacking Instructions
Imm ediately upon receiving this product, carefully unpack the carton and check the contents to ensure
that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the dealer im mediately and
retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself
show s signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a device must be
returned to the factory, it is important that the device is ret urned in the original factory box and packing.
Safety Instructions
Every person inv olved with the installation, operation and maintenance of this system has to:
be qualified
follow the instructions of this manual
Before you initial start -up, please make sure that there is no damage caused by transportation. Should
there be any, consult your dealer and do not use the system.
To maintain perfect condition and to ensure a safe operation, it is absolutely necessary for the user to
follow the safety instructions and warning notes written in this manual.
Please consider that damages caused by m anual modifications to the system are not subject to
warranty.
This system contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer servicing to qualified technicians only.

IMPORTANT:
The manufacturer w ill not accept liability for any resulting damages caused by the non -observance of
this manual or any unauthorized modification to the system.
Never let the power cord come into contact with other cables! Handle the power cord and all
connections with the mains with particular caution!
Never remove warning or informative labels from the unit.
Never use anything to cover the ground contact.
Never leave any cables lying around.
Do not insert objects into air vents.
Do not connect this system to a dimmerpack.
Do not switch the system on and off in short intervals, as this would reduce the system’s life.
Do not open the device and do not modify the device.
Do not drive the inputs with a signal level bigger, than required to drive the equipment to full output.
Do not plug mics into the console (or stagebox) while phantom pow er is on. Also mute the monitor /
Pa system when turning phantom pow er on or off. Allow the system to adjust for a couple of
seconds, before setting the input gains.
Only use system indoors, avoid contact w ith water or other liquids.
Avoid flames and do not put close to flammable liquids or gases.
Always disconnect pow er from the mains, when system is not used. Only handle the pow er cord by
the plug. Never pull out the plug by tugging the power cord.
Always operate the unit with the AC ground w ire connected to the electrical system ground.
Make sure you do not use the w rong kind of cables or defective cables.
Make sure that the signals into the mixer are balanced, otherwise hum could be created.
Make sure you use DI boxes to balance unbalanced signals; All incoming signals should be clear.
Make sure that the av ailable voltage is not higher than stated on the rear panel.
Make sure that the pow er cord is never crimped or damaged. Check the system and the pow er
cord from time to time.
Please turn off the power switch, when changing the power cord or signal cable, or select the input
mode switch.
Extreme frequency boosts in connection with a high input signal level may lead to overdriving your
equipment. Should this occur, it is necessary to reduce the input signal level by using the INPUT
control.
To emphasize a frequency range, you do not necessarily have to move its respectiv e control
upward; try lowering surrounding frequency ranges instead. This w ay, you avoid causing the next
piece of equipment in your sound path to overdrive. You also preserve valuable dynamic reserve
(“headroom”).
Avoid ground loops! Alw ays be sure to connect the pow er amps and the mixing console to the
same electrical circuit to ensure the same phase!
If system is dropped or struck, disconnect mains pow er supply imm ediately. Have a qualified
engineer inspect for safety before operating.
If the system has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not
switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your system. Leave the
system switched off until it has reached room temperature.
If your Dap Audio device fails to work properly, discontinue use immediately. Pack the unit securely
(preferably in the original packing material), and return it to your Dap Audio dealer for service.
Repairs, servicing and electric connection must be carried out by a qualified technician.
For replacement use fuses of same type and rating only.
WARRANTY: Till one year after date of purchase.

In a low impedance system, the total speaker load should always match the amplifier ’s
impedance, in order not to overload the amplifier. The total speaker power shoul d be at
least equal to the power of the amplifier, to avoid speaker damage.
The total power of all speakers summed together should never exceed the total power of
the ampl i fier in a 70V or a 100V system!
Connecting Outputs
Speakers are connected by means of terminal connectors. See the examples below .
Low Impedance Outputs
You can use as many speakers as you w ant as long as the total impedance matches the amplifiers
output.
Example 1: Using the 8Ω output with an 8Ω speaker.
Example 2: Using the 8Ω output with two 4Ω speakers.
High Impedance Outputs
While using either the 70V outputs or the 100V outputs, note that all speakers should be wired in paral l el.

Connection Cables
Take care of your cables, always holding them by the connectors and av oiding knots and tw ists when
coiling them: This gives the advantage of increasing their life and reliability. Periodically check your
cables. A great number of problems (faulty contacts, ground hum, discharges, etc.) are caused entirely
by using unsuitable or faulty cables.
For these applications the unit provides 1/4" TRS and XLR connectors to easily interface w ith most
professional audio devices. Follow the configuration examples below for your particular connection.

Maintenance
The DAP Audio PA-530TU requires almost no maintenance. How ever, you should keep the unit clean.
Disconnect the mains pow er supply, and then w ipe the cover w ith a damp cloth. Do not immerse in
liquid. Do not use alcohol or solvents.
Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then w ipe the audio connections with a damp
cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying electric power.
Replacing the Fuse
Pow er surges, short-circuit or inappropriate electrical power supply may cause a fuse to burn out. If the
fuse burns out, the product will not function whatsoever. If this happens, follow the directions below.
01) Unplug the unit from electric power source.
02) Insert a screwdriver into the slot in the fuse cover. Gently pry up the fuse cover. The fuse will come
out.
03) Remove the used fuse. If brown or unclear, it is burned out.
04) Insert the replacement fuse into the holder w here the old fuse was. Reinsert the fuse cover. Be sure to
use a fuse of the same type and specification. See the product specification label for details.
Troubleshooting
DAP Audio PA-530TU
This troubleshooting guide is meant to help solve simple problems. If a problem occurs, carry out the steps
below in sequence until a solution is found. Once the unit operates properly, do not carry out following
steps.
01) If the device does not operate properly, unplug the device.
02) Check power from the wall, all cables, connections, etc.
03) Replace the fuse. See page 17 for replacing the fuse.
