INST ALLA TION AND OPERA TION

Mount the units as appropriate for the particular installation.

There are #6-32` tapped holes on the top and bottom of the IT-A25
series housings for mounting. Use #6-32 screws that protrude through
no longer than 1/2". There are also rack kits available from FSR for
mounting in a standard 19” rack mount. See “accessories” section for
FSR part numbers and ordering information.

FRONT PANEL LED STATUS INDICATION

On/Standby: Green indicates the
amplifi er is active.

ON OFF STANDBY

CLIP

Amber indicates the amplifi er is
powered, but in Standby mode
drawing minimal current.

When lit this led indicates the
amplifi er is approaching the onset of
clipping.

REAR PANEL

Mute Switch Input:

Provide a dry contact or low leakage open collector closure to

mute the amplifi er. No connection, or an open circuit provides
for normal operation. The IT-A25 amplifi er provides pop-free
transitions in and out of mute mode.

Audio Input:

NOTE: See Option DIP Switch table for proper settings and additional
information.

Connect a balanced or unbalanced audio source to this point.
Unbalanced signals should be connected between “Hi” and “Lo.”

For IT-A25-M70 only:

Connect mono sources to the LEFT audio input terminals

For IT-A25-S8 only:

Connect mono sources to the RIGHT or LEFT audio input terminals.

Master Gain control:

Provides a wide range volume control to adapt to audio source. CW

screwdriver or fi nger adjust to increase gain.

Audio Out:

For IT-A25-M70 only:

Provides a choice of either 4-8 ohm or 70 volt mono output for
fl exibility in interfacing to the room speakers. Connections should be
made to only one output type in a particular installation.

For IT-A25-S8 only:

Provides connection to 4-8 ohm stereo speakers. Outputs may be
bridged (connect + to + and connect - to - When bridging, be sure to
set front panel switch 2 to “mono” mode) to double the output power.
Use 4 ohm speaker, or parallel combination of 8 ohm speaker to
achieve full power when bridging outputs.

Power Input:

Connect to supplied 24 volt external power supply.

SWITCH 2

UP=OFF=Auto Power-down function
disabled. This switch is used to override
the Auto Power-down feature of the
amplifi er and unconditionally force the
amplifi er to the on state.

Down=Stereo, Up=Mono. When in Mono
mode, the Left and Right audio inputs are
actively summed together and fed to both
the Left and Right output channels.

When in stereo mode, Left and Right
inputs are independent.

NOTE: The IT-A25-M70 mono version of
the product requires this switch to be set to
mono mode when using stereo sources.

When operating the IT-A25-S8 in bridged
output mode, this switch should also be set
to mono mode.

SWITCH 4

When down, this switch provides an
additional 12 dB of input boost to
accommodate the lower signal levels of
consumer electronic equipment.

When up, this switch accommodates
the higher signal levels provided by
professional AV mixers.

Up= +12dB,

Down= Unity. When up, this switch
provides an additional 12 dB of gain to
provide additional fl exibility.
