Connections
WARNING: THE AMPLIFIER CIRCUITRY USED IN THE STEALTH PA-1 UTILIZES A FULLY
BALANCED BRIDGE TOPOLOGY. BOTH OF THE SPEAKER OUTPUTS ON THE PA-1 CARRY AN
!
ACTIVE SIGNAL AND A SMALL COMMON DC OFFSET.
Both speaker output terminals on the PA-1 rest at a DC potential of approximately +27 VDC.
This DC potential is carefully controlled and balanced by the servo-control circuitry in the PA-1,
and is NOT applied across your loudspeakers.
- Always make speaker and input connections to the Stealth PA-1 with the amplier turned O.
- ONLY connect the speaker outputs on the PA-1 to the teminals on a PASSIVE loudspeaker.
- DO NOT connect the outputs of the PA-1 to any device with a common ground.
- DO NOT connect either output terminal on the PA-1 to another amplier.
- DO NOT connect the black (-) OUTPUT terminal on the PA-1 to ground.
- DO NOT connect the minus (-) terminal on your loudspeaker to ground.
Failure to heed these warnings will result in improper operation of your Stealth PA-1 and may
damage the PA-1 or your other equipment.
Connecting speakers to your Stealth PA-1
The Stealth PA-1 provides audiophile grade ve-way binding posts for connecting your
loudspeakers. Because the PA-1 utilizes a fully balanced bridge topology, there are a few extra
things to consider when connecting the PA-1 to a loudspeaker.
• Always turn o the amplier before connecting or disconnecting speaker cables.
• Always verify that your speaker cables are rmly attached, and not shorted to each other or
to any other cables, before powering up your PA-1.
• DO NOT connect either of the speaker outputs on the PA-1 to any device, including speaker
switches or powered loudspeakers, that utilizes a common ground.
• DO NOT allow either terminal on your speaker cable to come into contact with ground while
the speaker is connected to the PA-1.
• Always use high-quality speaker wire; 16-gauge or heavier.
• Be careful to wire all speakers “in phase”
(the plus/red terminal on each speaker to the plus/red terminal on your amp).
• Try to use wires of equal length and gauge for both speakers in each pair (use the same gauge
and length for both fronts, or for both surrounds; don’t use a long 16-gauge wire for one
speaker and a short 10-gauge wire for the other).
• If you use stranded cables, use care to avoid short circuits (from stray strands touching).
• If you are planning to bi-amp your speakers, make sure to remove the bi-amp jumpers on the
input panel of each speaker. Failure to remove the jumpers will damage your amplier.

BALANCED INPUT
AUTO ON
1. AC Power Switch
Switches the main AC power to the Stealth PA-1 On and O. When this switch is O, the PA-1 will
not operate; when this switch is On, the PA-1 will either be continuously on, or will turn on when it
senses an input signal, depending on the position of the Auto/On Switch.
2. AC Power Fuse
The Stealth PA-1 is protected by a 20 mm 3.15A Time Delay (Slo-Blo) fuse. If the fuse blows, replace
it with a new fuse of the same value; be sure to use a time delay type fuse. The same fuse value is
used for both 115 VAC and 230 VAC operation.
To change the fuse, turn o the main AC power, and remove the AC power cord from the PA-1.
The fuse holder slides towards you out of the PA-1 like a drawer. To release the fuse holder, reach
across the opening in the power cord receptacle with a small bladed screwdriver and pry the
small tab on that side of the fuse holder cover straight out towards you. Replace the fuse and then
replace the fuse holder; pressing it rmly in until it snaps into place.
3. IEC Power Cable Receptacle
The Stealth PA-1 uses a standard IEC power cable. A good quality commercial power cable is
provided, but you can substitute any power cable that ts a standard IEC receptacle.
The Stealth PA-1 will operate on any AC line voltage between 100 VAC and 264 VAC.
Page 10
Stealth PA-1
4. Balanced Input
The Stealth PA-1 oers a fully balanced audio input. The universal input connector on the PA-1
accepts a standard balanced XLR connector, a stereo 1/4” phone connector wired for a balanced
connection, or a monaural 1/4” phone connector wired for an unbalanced connection.
If your source device only oers an RCA unbalanced output, you can easily nd low cost
adapters and adapter cables that go from an RCA connector to an XLR connector or a 1/4” phone
connector.
5. Auto/On Switch
When the Auto/On Switch is on the On position, operation of the Stealth PA-1 will be controlled
solely by the AC Power Switch. The PA-1 will turn on immediately when the AC Power Switch is
turned On, and will turn o immediately when the AC Power Switch is turned O.
When the AC Power Switch is in the On position, and the Auto/On Switch is on the Auto position,
the PA-1 will switch on automatically when it detects an audio signal at its input, and switch o
after a short delay when signal is no longer detected.
6. Speaker Terminals
High quality gold plated ve-way binding posts accept banana plugs, spade lugs, or bare wires.

Care and Maintenance
Periodic Maintenance
Your Stealth PA-1 requires no periodic maintenance or calibration.
Cleaning your Stealth PA-1
• If necessary, the Stealth PA-1 should be cleaned gently with a soft rag.
• If something sticky gets on the front panel or case of the PA-1, it should be cleaned with a
mild cleaning solution applied to a soft rag, followed by wiping with a clean rag dampened
with plain water, and drying with a soft dry rag or cloth.
Note: DO NOT spray water or cleaning solution directly onto the PA-1 or into
the vents.
Troubleshooting
Operation of the Stealth PA-1 is simple and straightforward.

Note: When the Auto/On Switch is in the Auto position, the PA-1 may fail to switch on with
extremely low level audio signals. If this happens, then set the Auto/On Switch to the On
position.
If the blue LED is illuminated, but you have no audio:
• check your source signal.
• check your speaker cables.
Note: If you nd and correct a shorted cable or other fault, the PA-1 should reset and return to
normal operation within a few seconds.
If the PA-1 is On and you have distorted audio:
• check your source signal.
• contact Emotiva Technical Support.
