INTRODUCTION
The name of MACRON has always been the synonim of a European acoustic and musical
tradition in the pursue of the top sound quality. The fact that you chose to buy this product
means that you agree with us. With the help of this manual you will be able to maximize the
enjoyment you will get out of your new SYNTHESIS1000 amplifier’s outstanding features.
This amplifier incorporates many advanced fatures. Therefore, it is essential that all signal
sources, speakers and interconnections are of the highest sound quality. We strongly
recommend the use of MACROM head units, power amplifiers, speaker systems, high-quality
interconnection cables and accessories because the integration of these products is very
complex. We advise you to have it installed by your MACROM dealer.
This product has no user-adjustable controls; reand this manual carefully in order to become
well acquainted with all the special features and functions of your new SYNTHESIS1000
amplifier. Do not hesitate to contact your MACROM dealer should you have any problem.
PRECAUTIONS
1. The unit may be damaged by wrong lead connection, therefore read carefully the
instructions of this manual for the correct connection of the leads.
2. The last lead to be connected is the one to the positive (+) terminal of the battery; connect
this lead only after having completed and checked all other connections.
3. Be sure to install the crossover in a position with good air circulation and good heat
dissipation.
4. In case of fuse replacement make sure to replace it with a fuse of the same amperage. If
fuses blow more than once, carefully check all electrical connections. Also have your car’s
voltage regulator checked. Do not attempt to repair the unit yourself. If repairs are ever
needed, take the unit to your MACROM dealer or to your nearest MACROM service
station.
5. In order to get the best possible performance from this unit, make sure that the
temperature inside your car is within the range of -10° C and +60° C before you switch the
unit on. Good air circulation is essential to prevent heat build-up inside the unit.

1 • SPEAKER CONNECTORS: outputs for speakers connection.
The amplifier allows to connect speakers with minimum 0.5-ohm impedance per channel in
stereo configuration and with minimum 1-ohm impedance in mono-bridged configuration.
Should the 3-channel configuration be used, total impedance must not exceed the minimum 1ohm value.

Be sure to keep the right polarity in connecting the speakers. Avoid any contact between
poorly insulated wires and the car’s ground or metal pieces and between the wires
themselves.
2 • RCA INPUT CONNECTORS: connect the pre-output leads of the head unit to the input
connectors.
3 • RCA OUTPUT CONNECTORS: connect the pre-output leads to another amplifier.
5 • CHECK CONTROL LED: this led shows the amplifier’s status of operation:
WHITE: the unit is off. GREEN: the unit is working fine.
RED: the unit has entered the protection mode
SYNTHESIS1000 is equipped with three different protection devices:
- Overheating: in case of wrong installation and of amplifier’s overheating, the unit enters the
protection mode before being damaged. As soon as the temperature returns to normal values
and mistakes are corrected, the unit resumes normal operation.
- Overloads: in case a series of speakers is connected to the amplifier with the total
impedance value dropping below a tolerable level, i.e. 0.5 Ohm, the amplifier enters the
protection mode. To restore normal operation switch off the head unit and then switch it on
again.
- Output short circuit: in case of a short circuit at the speaker outlets the unit enters the
protection mode in order to avoid serious damage to the end-stage transistors. Normal
operation is resumed by removing the short circuit and by switching the head unit on again.
6 • FAN +/- CONNECTORS: allows to connect an external fan having a V=12Vcc supply
voltage and a power equal to P=6.6 W. approx.
7 • BATT + CONNECTOR for EXTERNAL CONDENSER: connect this terminal directly to the
positive pole of a (1 or 1.5) FARAD condenser of 24CARAT PE1.0 or PE1.5 so that the
amplifier’s dynamic capacities are increased. (it is advisable to position the condenser as
close as possibile to the SYNTHESIS1000 amplifier).
NOTABENE: charge the condenser by means of the resistance included in the
packaging before connecting it to the amplifier.
8 • BATT + LEAD: connect it directly to the battery positive pole (+) by using a cable with an
adequate section. Place a fuse between the battery and the amplifier so that the fuse is as
close as possible to the battery.
9 • GND CONNECTOR: Do not connect it directly to the battery negative pole (-) but connect
it to a clean part (i.e. paint-free) of the vehicle’s chassis by using a cable with an adequate
section.

CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
10 • GND CONNECTOR for EXTERNAL CONDENSER: connect it directly to the negative
pole of a (1 or 1.5) FARAD condenser of 24CARAT PE1.0 or PE1.5 so that the amplifier’s
dynamic capacities are increased. (It is advisable to position the condenser as close as
possibile to the SYNTHESIS1000 amplifier).
NOTABENE: charge the condenser by means of the resistance included in the
packaging before connecting it to the amplifier.
11 • REMOTE IN/OUT CONNECTOR: IN should be connected to the remote switch-on output
lead or to the output lead of the power antenna coming from the head unit. By doing so the
SYNTHESIS1000 can be switched on and off through the head unit. Another amplifier can be
connected through OUT. If this is the case, one or more amplifiers can be switched on through
one connection to the head unit. (The OUT output is delayed compared to the remote ON
input).
12 • LOW PASS FREQUENCYADJUSTMENT: allows continuous Low-Pass filter adjustment
13 • LOW PASS FILTER CROSSOVER SLOPE SELECTOR: allows to select the Low-Pass
filter crossover slope in the 12dB/Oct-24dB/Oct range; when set at the 24dB position ONLY ,
both internal and external Low-Pass filter configuration switches automatically to the MONO
configuration.
14 • HIGH PASS FREQUENCYADJUSTMENT: allows continuous High-Pass filter
adjustment.
15 • EXTERNAL FILTER SELECTOR SWITCH (Flat-HI-LOW): allows to select the desired
type of filter either to connect externally a further amplifier or to disable the filter itself.
16 • INTERNAL FILTER SELECTOR (Flat-HI-LOW): allows to select the desired type of filter
either to connect externally a further amplifier or to disable the filter itself.
17 • LEFT INPUT GAIN ADJUSTMENT CONTROL: allows to adjust the input sensitivity of
the left channel only. It ranges from 0.2 mV to 8V.
If the amplifier is to be connected to a head unit that is fitted with preamplified RCA outputs,
proceed as follows:
a) set the volume control of your unit to 3/4 of maximum output level;
b) set the input gain control to the point where the maximum sound level with no distortion is
obtained.
18 • RIGHT INPUT GAIN ADJUSTMENT CONTROL: allows to adjust the input sensitivity of
the right channel only. It ranges from 0.2 mV to 8V.
If the amplifier is to be connected to a head unit that is fitted with preamplified RCA outputs,
proceed as follows:
a) set the volume control of your unit to 3/4 of maximum output level;
b) set the input gain control to the point where the maximum sound level with no distortion is
obtained.
19 • SENSITIVITY RANGE SELECTOR: allows to select the sensitivity range that is most
suitable to the unit installed.
20 • INPUT MODE SELECTOR: allows to select the amplifier’s configuration as follows:
a) STEREO “ST” when the amplifier is used as a two-channel stereo system (right + left);
b) MONO (L mono) when the amplifier is driven by one input signal “Left” and outputs are
mono-bridged.
