Short Form Instructions
Short Form Instructions
1. Do not connect the AC power until step 6. The ac mains POWER switch should be in the OFF position.
2. Adjust both of the LEVEL controls to the fully attenuated position(turn fully counter-clockwise).
3. Connect an appropriate line level input signal to the balanced XLR connector marked INPUTS.
4. Move the MODE selector to the desired position. The Stereo position is the most common.
5. Connect the OUTPUTS to the speaker load according to the mode of operation determined in the previous step.
6. With the ac mains POWER switch in the OFF position, plug in the supplied Universal AC power cord to the
product and connect to an appropriate AC source.
7. Depress the ac mains POWER switch to the ON position. The indicator 'ACTIVE' will illuminate dimly and
then fully after a few seconds.
8. The product is ready for operation. Slowly increase the LEVEL control to the desired operating level. Avoid
illuminating the CLIP indicator and do not apply too much power to the speakers.
9. Operate the product and the system in a manner which DOES NOT illuminate the CLIP warning indicator.

1. HANDLES
These are provided for easy transporting and installing into equipment enclosures or racks.
2. LEVEL CONTROL
This control adjusts the level(amplitude) of the input signal for each channel. In stereo or parallel mode the
knobs will determine the signal level independently for each channel. In the bridged mono mode only
channel 1 knob will be determine the signal level, while channel 2 disabled.
3. PROTECTION/CLIP INDICATOR
This warns of a problem when illuminated. Reduce the LEVEL of the device which supplies signal to the
amplifier or reduce the LEVEL control(s) on the amplifier. This should not be continuously illuminated during
normal operation, but may flash occasionally.
Also this indicates PROTECTION occurred like the amplifier over heated, output shorted, over loaded and
unexpected DC voltage output, which result the amplifier shutdown. When PROTECTION released, the
amplifier should be recovered.
4. LEVEL INDICATOR
These indicators should illuminate during normal operation when there is an output signal.
5. POWER INDICATOR (ACTIVE)
This confirms the amplifier is switched ON and receiving AC mains POWER when illuminated. When
switched ON, the indicator is illuminated dimly for STAND-BY and then fully illuminated with PROT/CLIP
indicator for MUTE status, after that, only this illuminated fully activating the amplifier.
6. POWER SWITCH (W/CIRCUIT BREAKER)
The position of this switch determines whether the AC mains power is ON or OFF. The power-on status is
confirmed by the illuminated power indicator. Also this is used for a circuit breaker to protect AC mains power
and the amplifier from abnormal operations due to overload or malfunction. If the current flows over the circuit
breaker's rating, this should be OFF position. You can switch ON after abnormal situation released and then the
amplifier will be recovered. Amplifiers are always the last item in a system to be turned on. It is generally a
good idea to reduce the level controls before applying AC mains power.

1. AC INPUT
Connect this product to an appropriate AC mains power source using the supplied universal AC power cord.
2. OUTPUT CONNECTORS
4 Pole speaker sockets are provided. Bridged mono operation requires a different method of connecting the
speaker cables than stereo operation. Be sure that the amplifier is in the correct mode before connecting the
speaker load. Please refer to the output connection drawings.
3. MODE SELECTOR SWITCH
Move this switch to select the STEREO, PARALLEL or BRIDGED MONO position as needed for the application.
The stereo mode is most common. Channel 1 input provides signal through the amplifier to the channel 1
output. The channel 2 input provides signal through the amplifier the channel 2 output.
The parallel mode uses the channel 1 input provides signal through the amplifier to both the channel 1 and
channel 2 outputs. No input will be supplied to channel 2 in the Parallel mode.
The bridge mono mode combines both channels to create one larger mono channel. Input signal applied to
channel 1 will provide signal through the amplifier to the positive terminals of channel 1 and channel 2. Do
not connect any signal to the channel 2 input or any loads to the negative outputs.
4. BALANCED TRS INPUT CONNECTORS
Each input channel is equipped with a TRS connector.
The signal at these connectors is parallel with the XLR input signal for linking the input signal to other amplifier.
5. BALANCED XLR INPUT CONNECTORS
Each input channel is equipped with a XLR connector.
You can use either balanced or unbalanced connectors, but use unbalanced only for a short distance
between equipment to avoid a noise problem.
Please refer to the input connection drawings.

6. CLIP LIMITER SWITCH
The CLIP LIMITER reduces the internal operating level of the amplifier as necessary to insure that signal peaks
do not overdrive the amplifier, causing distortion or damage to the amplifier or loudspeakers. It is
recommended to leave this switched to the “ON” position to reduce distortion and help provide protection to
the loudspeakers.
7. HIGH PASS FILTER SWITCH
Select the switch position that is best suited for your application. The OFF position allows full frequency
range signals to reach the loudspeakers. The 30Hz position reduces the signal amplitude below 30Hz to
conserve power and help protect the loudspeakers. The 50Hz position reduces the signal amplitude below
50Hz to conserve power and help protect the loudspeakers.
