The Outline T Series amplifiers are among the most powerful professional amplifiers available and are capable of producing
much more power than many loudspeakers can handle. It is the user's responsibility to use suitable speakers with the
amplifier and to use them in a sensible way that will not cause damage. Outline will not be responsible for damaged
speakers. Consult the speaker manufacturer for power-handling recommendations. Even if you reduce the gain using the
amplifier's front panel attenuation controls, it is still possible to reach full output power if the input signal level is high
enough.
A single high-power crescendo can damage high-frequency drivers almost instantaneously, while low-frequency drivers can
usually withstand very high, continuous power levels for a few seconds before they fail. Reduce power immediately if you
hear any speaker "bottoming out" - harsh pops or cracking distortion that indicate that the speaker voice coil or diaphragm
is striking the magnet assembly. Outline recommends that you use amplifiers of this power range for more headroom
(cleaner sound) rather than for increased volume.

A Outline T Series amplifier is capable of producing hazardous output voltages. To avoid electrical shock, do not touch any
exposed speaker wiring while the amplifier is operating.

This manual contains important information on operating your T Series amplifier correctly
and safely. Please read it carefully before operating your amplifier. If you have any questions,
contact your Outline dealer.

Introduction

Outline is a leading company in the field of high efficiency audio power management. The totally new DIGAM (DIGital
AMplifier) technology has changed the way the world looks at professional audio amplification. No other amplifiers
come close for applications demanding high power and long term reliability. Thanks to amazing reductions in heat
output along with reductions in weight and the specific high output power, T Series amplifiers can be used in an
unlimited range of applications such as concert touring, opera houses, theatres, churches, cinema, theme parks,
television sound stages and industrial applications.

More sound and less weight

Totally Digital with High Reliability

Compared to a conventional amplifier, Outline T Series technology offers very high efficiency and delivers more power
to the loudspeakers with much reduced heat dissipation. This greater efficiency enables dimensions, weight and power
consumption to be reduced. The output stages of the amplifiers typically run at 95% efficiency, dissipating only 5% of
the input energy as heat.

One of the most interesting characteristics is that efficiency is almost independent of output level. Conventional
amplifiers achieve their best efficiency only at full rated power output. Since standard music has an average power
density of 40% of the maximum level, conventional amplifiers can easily generate 10 times more heat than T Series
for the same volume of sound.

Crystal-clear highs, and a tight, well-defined low end: the most accurate reproduction of an audio signal. Patented
design features ensure very high performance in parameters such as distortion, frequency response, slew rate, power
bandwidth and dumping factor.

The T Series is based on PWM technology that has been used for 30 years or more in power supplies and inverters.
PWM provides high reliability, small size, low weight and high efficiency. A PWM converter works as a high frequency
sampler, converting the variable amplitude (audio) signal into an impulse sequence with average value equal to the
audio input.
T Series amplifiers use very high sampling frequencies to obtain high performances across the audio band.

Outline adopt Power Factor Correction. This feature ensures that a predominantly resistive load is presented to mains,
minimizing current distortion and voltage/current displacement This leads to much improved performance of the
amplifier at high levels of output and avoids mains-voltage collapses, typical of standard and switching power
supplies. Another great advantage of this technology is that its performance is, to a large extent, independent of mains
voltage. The rated output power does not vary with load/line conditions.

T Series has many advanced features, Digital control of many parameters, adjustable maximum mains consuption,
selectable digital presets and a graphic display that shows detailed information of the status of the amplifier. You can
appreciate the functionality of these and a lot of other features by reading this manual

T Series is completely protected against every possible error in operation and is designed to work under every
condition. It gives you maximum power with maximum safety and increases long-term reliability. Anticipating potential
problems at the design stage means your show always goes on!

1 Installation and operation

1.1 Unpacking

Carefully open the shipping carton and check for any noticeable damage; t

Every Outline amplifier is completely tested and inspected before leaving the factory and should arrive in perfect
condition. If you find any damage, notify the shipping company immediately. Be sure to save the carton and all packing
materials for the carrier's inspection.

1.3 Operating Precautions

Make sure the AC mains voltage is correct and is the same as that printed on the rear of the amplifier. Damage caused
by connecting the amplifier to improper AC voltage is not covered by the warranty. Make sure the power switch is off
before making any input or output connections.
It is always a good idea to have the gain controls muted during power-up to prevent speaker damage if there is a high
signal level at the inputs.
Whether you buy them or make them, use good-quality input and speaker cables. Most intermittent problems are
caused by faulty cables. Use good-quality connectors and wire, along with good soldering technique, to ensure
troublefree reliability.

1.4 AC Mains connection

The AC Main connection is made via the CPC type connector (IEC20Afor T Five) on the rear side of the panel. The
figure below shows the connection to the amplifier. Be sure that your AC mains power source has the requirements
indicated in this manual.

Is important to connect the ground for safety, do not use adapters that disable the ground.

The T Series amplifier has an automatic power factor correction system for a perfect mains
network interface. The amplifier is a resistive load for the mains network, minimizing the reactive power and the
harmonic distortion on the current. The system allows performance to be maintained even in circumstances of varying
the mains voltage.

1.2 Mounting

All T Series amplifiers are previewed for the standard 19" rack mounting; there are four front panels holes and fout rear
lateral holes. The amplifiers must be fixed into rack in both sides, back and frontal, to avoid mechanical damages. Your
amplifier uses a forced-air cooling system to maintain a low, even operating temperature. Drawn by an internal fan, air
enters through the slots in the front panel and courses over and through components. The T Series amplifiers feature
an "intelligent" variable-speed DC fan which is controlled by heat sink temperature sensing circuits: the fan speed will
increase only when the temperature of either heat sink requires it, which keeps fan noise to a minimum and helps cut
dust accumulation inside. Under extreme thermal load, the fan will force a very large volume of air through the heat
sinks. If either heat sink gets too hot, its sensing circuit will reduce the output power. If the amplifier overheats, another
sensing circuit shuts down its circuit to cut off power until it cools to a safe temperature.
The exhaust cooling air is forced out through the rear of the chassis (see figure 1.2.1), so make sure there is enough
space around the sides of the amplifier to allow the air to escape. If it is rack mounted, make sure the exhaust air can
flow without resistance. If you are using a rack with closed backs, there must be at least one standard rack space of
opening in the front of the rack for every four amplifiers. Amplifiers may be stacked directly on top of each other (no
space needed between units), starting from the bottom of the rack.

rear side of the amplifier. The polarity is shown in figure 1.5.1.

The figure below shows the connection of analog input for balanced and unbalanced line. You can use both configuration,
but you must consider that unbalanced long line can introduce noise in the audio system. The Link switch located in the
rear panel is for direct paralleling the rear input connectors. You can use the remaining input connector to carry signal to
other amps.

1.6 Connecting Outputs

Warning: there are lethal voltages at the loudspeaker connectors when the amplifier is turned on. To prevent any
damages turn the amplifier off before connecting the loudspeaker

Output connectors are made via neutrik speakon connectors. Consult the wire gauge chart to find a suitable wire gauge to
minimize power and damping factor losses in the speaker cables. The outputs can also work on bridge mode. For each
device the 1+ and 2+ pins of speakon connector are connected inside and have to be considered the positive output of the
channel; the 1- and 2- pins of speakon connector are connected inside and have to be considered the negative output of
the channel.
Note: Channel B is always polarity reversed output stage, but polarity compensated by feeding the minus pins of the
channel B output with the output voltage. Channel A is connected in the polarity mode. By having channel A and B
operating in opposite polarity, the energy storage in the power supply is more efficient. This is significant for signals below
100Hz (sub bass etc.) and improves the power bandwidth. Be sure to use balanced inputs on all measurement

equipment (also oscilloscope probes) in you are bench testing.

2.2 The main screen

The figure 2.2.1 show the main screen; this screen appears after a short presentation when the user powers on the
amplifier. In the first line, after power on, the writing "WAIT" appears; if the system parameters are normal, the writing
are replaced with "READY". During the normal operation the controller monitors the system parameters. If a
paramenter is out of range, the correspondent code error is written on the LCD meter of the relative channel in the
third line; if the abnormal parameter is associated to both channel, the error code is written in the center.

2 Setup and settings

2.1 Introduction

The figure below shows the front panel of Outline T Series. The front panel controls, in conjuction with the graphic LCD
display above the buttons, give to the user the total control and detailed information about the status of the amplifier.
Each pushbutton has multiple functions and the display shows the current active function for each button.
Read carefully the instructions below that help you to manage the functions of the amplifier.

figure 2.1.1

The LED bars can function as output voltage or output current meters; in the first case the LCD meters function as
output current meter, viceversa in the second case.

The LED bars have diagnostic function also; a flashing yellow LED indicates a critic range of temperature (from 80°C
to 85°C)of the power devices on the corresponding channel, if this LED is lighting constantly, the temperature is above
85°C. A lighting constantly red LED indicates that the corresponding channel is under protection and in this case the
writing "PROT" appears in the first line of the display.

The first green LED at the bottom side of the LED bar indicates,
when lighted, the presence of input audio signal above -60 dBV on the corresponding channel; the 2nd, 3rd and 4th
LED in the ascending order indicates an output level of -3dB, -6dB and -10dB rispectively. The green LEDs will be
lighted during normal working. The yellow LED will light at -1 dB. If the level of the audio signal reach the channel
output capability, red LED will be triggered.

To better handle the huge amount of parameters, the single value numeric input mode is extended with a fine/coarse
feature. When you edit one of the parameters, you will start in the “fine” mode. The steps applied by the - and + keys
are the minimum allowable for that parameter. By clicking the “fast” key shown in figure 2.3.3, you will switch in the
“coarse” mode, and the key will be renamed as “slow” as shown in figure 2.3.4 . In the coarse mode, the steps are
equivalent to 10 steps of the fine mode, so that editing will be 10 times faster. Remember that by keeping the - or +
key pressed, the steps are automatically repeated.

2.3.7 Gate CH1 - CH2

This function allows to mute the amplifier channels individually if input signal amplitude is falling below the values shown in
the following table. You can enable/disable it by pushing the on/off button. Gating the output is delayed by 5 seconds after
input signal removal, and follows in reversed way the bottom green LED on the CH1, CH2 bar LED display *(muted if green
LED is off).

2.3.12 Bar meters

In the Bar meters screen you can choose if the LED bars operate as output voltage meter and LCD bar in the main screen
as output current meter (by selecting "LED Volt, LCD Curr), or viceversa (by selecting the other item).

2.3.13 Output meters

In the Output meters screen you can view the values of the output signal for CH1 and CH2. Furthermore, the impedance of
the load is showed in the bottom line of the screen (see figure 2.3.9). Minimum of output voltage for impedance
measurements is 10Vrms, measurements values are stored into logbook. Time between single impedance measurements
can be up to several minutes depending on program signal. Output power is shown as maximum value every 200 mS.

2.3.9 Idle Mode

The idle mode function is a power saving feature. By activating it, if the amplifier doesn't detect the signal for the user
defined amount of time, the output stage is turned off, saving about 40 W of power per channel. This means reduced
heating, longer amplifier and fans life, and, especially for fixed installation permanently turned on, a lower electricity bill.

2.3.8 Mute at power on

If enabled, the amplifier will be always in mute state for both channels at power on; you can mute off the channels
independently in the main screen, but in this mode the amplifier will be in the mute state at the next power on.

The amplifier name, together with the current preset name, can be displayed by enabling the “Display amplifier data”
function. The 20 characters amplifier name, together with the 40 characters preset name is shown in an different way when
the amplifier is in the starting page of the main menu. The amplifier name can be assigned by the “Edit amplifier name”
command (for the text editing, see Local preset handling section).

2.3.17 Local preset

There is the possibility to store up to 50 presets on amplifier local memory.
By choosing the Save local preset command, the current amplifier configuration (basic amplifier settings + TDSP board
settings if DSP board is present) is stored on the local memory. To proceed, the menu asks to choose one of the 50
available presets (see figure 2.3.12), showing the preset number and name. If the preset was never used, it is named
<empty>. By pressing ok, you can enter the preset name. The selected character is pointed by the arrow shown in

Note that if you have already input a preset name, or if you have loaded a preset from local memory or smartcard, the
name is kept by the amplifier and used as starting point for a new save preset operation.
For example, suppose that you have loaded a preset named “18IN SUB 1” from a SC, and then you save it into local
memory as shown in figure 2.3.15. In this case the menu shown in figure 2.3.16 asks you if you want to keep/edit that
name (shown figure 2.3.17) or if you would like to edit the name of the preset that is going to be overwritten (shown
figure 2.3.18). This is useful for copying presets from/to smartcard.

2.3.22 Menu locking

In addition to the basic pushbutton locking function, a new menu locking strategy was introduced. There are three levels of
locking: All locked, Allow safe, Allow all.

: only the menus for displaying infos are enabled, the other are hidden. Presets cannot be loaded.

: user can change from Analog input to AES3 input, always with DSP into the signal path. Some common DSP
parameters can be changed (AES3 gain trim, main delay, DSP input selection)*. Only local presets can be recalled, and
they should be all safe for the speaker system connected to that amplifier (example: HF driver 3 dB, HF driver 0 dB, HF
driver +3 dB).

: all settings menus are enabled. User can recall presets from either local memory or smartcard.
Furthermore, local presets can be made Read-Only by enabling the “Lock presets” function, in order to preserve the original
settings stored on the amplifier.
The lock code, when set different from 000000, protects the whole Menu locking submenu.

3 Protection

3.1 Turn-On/Turn-Off muting

For about four seconds after turn-on, and immediately at turn-off, the amplifier outputs are muted.

3.2 Short circuit protection

A short circuit protection system safeguards the amplifier's output transistors under short circuits and other stressful loads.
It is completely inaudible when inactive. In case of short circuit, the red LED will be light-up and writing "PROT" appears in
the first line of the display(see Par. 2.2 for a detailed description). The amplifier will reset himself 5 times every 2 seconds.
Once 50 resets have been performed and the fault still exisst on the output, the unit sets into steady protection mode. Turn
ON/OFF cycle is needed to restart the unit.

3.3 Thermal protection

A T series amplifier uses a continuously variable speed fan to assist cooling (the fan speed changes in response to the
amplifier's cooling needs). If the heat sink temperature reaches approximately 80°C, the yellow LED starts to flashing. If the
temperature is more then 85°C the thermal sensing circuitry will mute each power section channels, the LED will light
permanently and the power supply will be cut off. Once the heatsink has cooled down, the amplifier will automatically reset
and the LED will be go out. It is possible to reduce the temperature by reducing the output power.

3.4 DC fault protection

If DC or excessive subsonic energy appears at a channel output, an instantaneous protection circuit will cut off the power
supply for both channels. Power supply shutdown is used instead of speaker relays, thereby improving the damping factor
and reliability of the amplifiers.

3.5 Input/Output protection

An ultrasonic network decouples RF from the outputs and keeps the amplifier stable with reactive loads.

4.2 Dust removal

Especially in a dusty environment, the front side filters clog with dust after prolonged use, this will interfere with cooling.
You may use compressed air to remove the dust from filters. To remove air filters see fig(3.4.1) , unscrew n° 2 M2,5X8
screw and rotate the covering grill; repeat the same operation on the other side.

4.1 Cleaning

Disconnect the amplifier from the AC main source first; use a soft cloth and mild non-abrasive solution to clean the
faceplate and chassis.

4.4 Service

There are no user-serviceable parts in your amplifier. Refer servicing to qualified technical personnel.
In addition to having an in-house service department, Outline supports a network of authorized service centers. If your
