1. Using the Phillips screwdriver, remove the eight
screws holding the connector plate to the rear of the cabinet. Save the screws, you’ll need them to install the amplifier.
2. Gently remove the input connector plate from the cabinet. You can use a SpeakOn connector as a handle, if
you want
3. Remove the white quick disconnect connector from the
PC board on the inside of the input connector plate by
squeezing the sides of the connector and pulling up. Set
the input connector plate aside and save it in case you
ever need to switch the loudspeaker back to its externally
powered configuration.
4. Prepare PF1-200 amplifiers for installation by setting
the switches on the side of the amplifier according to the
table below. Improper settings on these switches can lead
to loudspeaker damage which is not covered by our warranty.
Prepare PF1-500 amplifiers for installation by setting the
single switch to either “Flat” or “100 Hz Filter”. Use ”Flat”
for full range operation,100 Hz Filter when the amplifier is
being installed in a CFX18S subwoofer. PF1-200R and
PF1-500R RHAON empowered amplifiers do not have
these switches as these settings are controlled remotely.
5. Plug the white quick disconnect connector into the
matching socket on the rear of the power amplifier. The
socket is keyed, so you will have to properly align the
connector with the socket. Make sure that both sides of
the connector latch into place.
6. Insert the power amplifier into the opening in the back
of the loudspeaker and reinstall the eight screws to secure the amplifier into the cabinet. You can use an XLR
connector as a handle.
