PRODUCT RANGE OVERVIEW

The ZQ Range is designed in the EU by one of Phoenix Golds top amplier master engineers, with over twenty years development experience in high end amplication.

In making this high-end range of ampliers/DSP’s, we insisted on using the best possible

components such as transistors from ON Semiconductor, EPCOS magnetic core transformers, ELNA capacitors, Rubycon capacitors, Wima capacitors and Nichicon capacitors and many other well-known high-quality components from around the world.

This top of the range audio set up has been developed as a highly exclusive and valuable specialist audio electronics product. Phoenix Gold are constantly endeavouring to meet the growing demands of audio enthusiasts around the world to let them feel the ultimate sound experience. Passive components such as capacitors for example, may not be at the centre of attention when compared to active components, but they still form an indispensable part of the overall result. This is the key in making a really unique

amplier with fantastic performance.

We wish our Phoenix Gold clients the upmost enjoyment in listening to this amazing creation. This product is the essence of Phoenix Golds brand values including some of the original features that made us famous in the beginning like a gold plated circuit board that are not only for show…. but because every little detail will affect the sound just like the founders of Phoenix Gold knew.

PRECAUTIONS

u This unit is designed for negative ground 12V DC operation only. u Avoid installing the amplier where:

- It would be subject to high temperature, such as from direct sunlight

or hot air from the heater

- It would be exposed to rain or moisture.

- It would be subject to dust or dirt. u If your car is parked in direct sunlight and there is a considerable rise in

temperature inside the car, allow the amplier to cool off before operation. u When installing the unit horizontally, be sure not to cover the heatsink ns with the oor carpet.

u If this unit is placed too close to the car radio, an interference may occur.

In this case, separate the amplier from the car radio. u This power amplier employs a protection circuit to protect the transistors and speakers if the amplier malfunctions. Do not attempt to test the

protection circuits by covering the heatsink or connecting improper loads.

Do not use the amplier with a weak auto battery as its optimum

performance depends on a normal battery supply voltage. u For safety reasons, keep the volume of your car audio system moderate so

that you can still hear normal trafc sounds outside your car.

ZQ Range Owners Manual

ZQ9004 / ZQ5004 / ZQ15001 - HIGH END AMPLIFIERS

INSTALLATION

u First, ensure the mounting location is free of dirt and dust and that there is enough ventilation in order to achieve optimum performance and avoid overheating when

the amplier is in use. u Keep the wire connections as short as possible with sufcient length in order to

minimise any power losses and provide a higher audio output of the system. u Where possible route all power and speaker wiring through any existing wire channels within the vehicle in order to ensure wiring does not pass through sharp edged metal. u Make sure all cables are away from any ignition cables or modules in the boot and under the key dashboard components in order to avoid any interference. u Add a fuse to the (+) power cable in a distance of not more than 30cm from the positive battery pole.

u Ensure the power cable is as short as possible.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

POWER CONNECTION

The battery terminal (+12V) must be connected directly to the positive terminal of the vehicle battery to provide an adequate voltage source and minimize noise. Connecting the battery terminal lead to any other point (such as the fuse block) will reduce the power output and may cause noise and distortion. Use only #8 gauge or thicker (smaller gauge #) wire for this lead and connect it to the terminal of the battery after all other wiring is completed.

GROUND CONNECTION

The ground terminal (GND) connection is critical to the correct operation of the amplier.

Use a wire of the same gauge as the power connection (#8 or thicker) and connect

it between the ground terminal (GND) of the amplier and a metal part of the vehicle

close to the mounting location. This wire should be as short as possible and any paint or rust at the grounding point should be scraped away to provide a clean metal surface to which the end of the ground wire can be screwed or bolted.

SPEAKER CONNECTIONS

Depending on the type and number of speakers used with the amplier, wired them to

the speaker terminals as per the appropriate wiring diagram. For most applications 18 gauge wire should be used for the speaker leads but in no case thinner than 20 gauge. For leads in excess of 10 feet 16 gauge is recommended. When wiring the speakers, pay careful attention to the polarity of the terminals on the speakers and make sure they correspond to the polarity of the corresponding terminals

on the amplier. Do not ground any speaker leads to the chassis of the vehicle.

ZQ Range Owners Manual

ZQ9004 / ZQ5004 / ZQ15001 - HIGH END AMPLIFIERS

REMOTE TURN-ON CONNECTION

The amplier is turned on by applying +12V to the remote turn-on terminal (REM). The wire

leading to this terminal should be connected to the ‘Remote Out +12V’ lead from the car stereo which will provide the +12V only when the car stereo is turned on. If the car stereo does not provide an ‘Remote Out +12V’ lead, the remote turn-on lead may be wired to

an “Accessory“ or “Radio“ terminal in the car’s fuse block. This will turn the amplier on

and off with the ignition key, regardless of whether the car stereo is on or off. The remote turn-on lead does not carry large currents, so a #20 gauge wire may be used for this application.

FUSE

The amplier is equipped with a plug-in auto fuse which helps protect the amplier

against faulty conditions. Do not use a fuse with a higher value and never bridge the fuse,

as this may lead to the warranty of the amplier being denied/void.

FUSE REPLACEMENT

If the fuse blows, check the power connection and replace the fuse. If the fuse blows again after replacement, there may be an internal malfunction. In this case, consult your dealer.

WARNING:

Use the specied fuse. Use of a higher fuse may cause serious damage.

PROTECTION CIRCUIT:

This amplier is provided with a protection circuit which operates in the following cases when:

u The unit is overheated.* u The speaker terminals are short-circuited.

*THERMAL PROTECTION:

As these ampliers are Class A/B, they can tend to get hot when being used for

long periods of time.

In the case that the amplier goes into ‘thermal protection’, please provide better airow around the unit.

ZQ Range Owners Manual

ZQ9004 / ZQ5004 / ZQ15001 - HIGH END AMPLIFIERS

NOTES ON THE POWER SUPPLY

u The unit is turned on by applying +12 Volts to the REM (Remote In). This terminal does not draw heavy current like the main Power Terminals so a

thinner connecting wire is acceptable. Standard 18 GAUGE is ne and the

standard colour is blue. If the radio is equipped with a Power Antenna control wire, it can drive this terminal. If the Power Antenna wire is already in use, you can still splice into it. With this method, the unit will turn on automatically with the radio. Use the power supply lead with a fuse

attached whose value is the same as the original fuse inside the amplier.

u During a full power operation, maximum current will run through the system, therefore, make sure that the leads to be connected to the +12V and GND terminals of the unit respectively must be larger than 10 Gauge (AWG.10).

IN CASE OF FAULTS

NO FUNCTION

The connection cable is not connected correctly (terminal BATT/GND /REM). Ensure that all connections, mechanical contacts, and wire jackets have been removed. The fuse might be defective - pay attention to the correct value of a new fuse!

NO SOUND

Speaker cable or RCA plugs are not connected correctly.

NO SOUND / RED LED PROTECTION SHINES:

The plus and minus wires of the speaker cable shorted, thus creating a short circuit. If you use a 2 Ohm speaker in stereo mode, turn the gain control to “min” until the operation is free of trouble.

POOR SOUND QUALITY (DISTORTIONS)

The speakers are overloaded, therefore turn down the volume level and check the volume control positions.

NO STEREO AND A WEAK BASS

Left and right speaker cables (+) and (-) are out of phase.

ZQ Range Owners Manual

ZQ9004 / ZQ5004 / ZQ15001 - HIGH END AMPLIFIERS

OPERATION

After the amplier has been installed and all connections have been made carefully and securely, turn the radio on so that the amplier is switched on automatically. After a short power-on period, the amplier reaches its full

performance. Now turn up the volume slowly using the volume control of the radio. If there is no sound or only a distorted replay, switch off the radio immediately,

the amplier will also switch off automatically - and check if all connections

have been made correctly.

POWER = LED POWER INDICATOR

After the correct connection order of the three power terminals, the LED indicator shines green and goes out when is off.

PROTECT = LED PROTECTION INDICATOR

This unit is equipped with an overload protection function. Immediately upon overloading (due to short circuit or much increased temperature) the overload protection is activated, and the red LED indicator is shining. This means the

amplier is protected.

LEVEL CONTROL

The input level control allows the system to work well within a wide range of output levels. Choose the adjustment in the way that you achieve a sound without any distortion.

As a guideline the following procedure is recommended:

If you use several ampliers, the adjustment has to made for each set

separately. Tune the volume control of your car to 2/3rds of the maximum

volume. Now turn the gain control of the amplier from ‘MIN’ to ‘MAX’

direction until you can hear distortions. Then turn the level control a little

back to ‘MIN’. The gain control adjustment is nished.

ATTENTION - If you use 2 Ohm speakers in stereo mode, turn the gain control to ‘MIN’ direction, until the operation is free of trouble.

ZQ Range Owners Manual

ZQ9004 / ZQ5004 / ZQ15001 - HIGH END AMPLIFIERS

INTERFERENCE & NOISE

All cables are sources of interference and noise. The power cable and RCA audio cable are very prone to interference; the remote cables are less prone. The interference can be caused by the generator (piping), ignition (cracking) or other car electronic parts. Most of these problems can be eliminated by correct and careful cabling. In doing so, these are the following guidelines:

u Use only an RCA audio cable for the wiring between the amplier and RCA

output of the radio. u Lay the signal, speaker and power cables separately with enough distance from one another and also from each other car cable. If not possible, you can lay the circuit and ground cable together with the serial cables. Audio and speaker cable should be as far away from these as possible. The REM cable to the automatic antenna output of the radio can be laid together with the signal cables. u Avoid ground loops by laying the ground wiring of all components to a

centre point in a star-like way. You can nd the best central point in

measuring the voltage directly at the battery. Now compare this voltage

value with the chosen ground point and the (+) terminal of the amplier.

If the measured voltage is only less different, you’ve found the correct central. Otherwise, you have to look for another point. You should measure with the ignition being switched on and additionally switched on other electronics (rear window heating and light). If there are pickups from external electrical sources into the speaker cables, divide the core leads and twist them together. u If there are noises from the car electronics, add a noise suppression choke to the power wiring. u If there are humming noises, use thicker ground cables or add further ground cables to the chassis. u To reduce contact resistance and bad/loose contacts, please tin the cable ends or use multi-core cable ends, spade terminals or others. Note - plated spade terminals are free of corrosion and have the lowest contact resistance. u Should any of these measures have no success, the use of a ground loop

isolator may solve the problem. If the problem persists, contact a certied

car audio installer.

OPERATION

When the switch is toggled to DC, the DSP is automatically switched for high level inputs. When switched to REM, the output (REM OUT) of the DSP must be

connected to the input connector (REM IN) of the amplier to work. After a few

operations turning the DSP on and off, the DSP has direct current and the switch must be turned to REM IN to control the switch gear.

The product has one REM OUT option and can be connected with the REM

input of another amplier to control the DSP with an externally powered amplier. If used in this way, please ensure the RCA low level output connector is connected to the external amplier system. Be sure to use the REM OUT connector of this machine to control the REM Input of the external amplier, otherwise, it may cause overpowering and result in a re.

COMMON TROUBLESHOOTING

NO POWER
