Front Panel
Power Switch
The power switch turns the amplifier on and off.
When the Sonance logo on the power switch is lit solid white, the
amplifier has power and is turned ON and ready to operate.
When the Sonance logo is slightly dimmed the amplifier is in
standby mode.
When the Sonance logo on the power switch is blinking white, the
amplifier power supply is in thermal protection. The channel LEDs
will also light red when the power supply is in thermal protect mode.
NOTE: Upon initial power up there will be an approximately 12
second boot up cycle. This is normal.
Input/Output Lights
When each channel is active, the LED will light green as long as a
signal is present.
When the LED blinks red, this is an indication that the channel is
being overdriven.
When the LED lights are solid red this is an indication the amplifier
is in protect mode. While in protect mode the LED lights will
periodically light green to retest the output to determine if the short
has been removed. Protect mode could be caused by a short in the
wire, overheating of the amplifier or possibly an internal problem
with the amplifier.
Rear Panel
Power Cord
The Sonamp amplifiers feature removable IEC power connectors.
Plug the female end of the power cord into the Power Cord
Connector on the amplifier rear panel and plug the male end into a
grounded wall socket.
DO NOT plug the amplifier’s power cord into a convenience outlet
on any other audio or video component. If you need to use an
extension cord, use only a heavy duty (14-GAUGE OR LARGER)
extension cord to avoid starving the amplifier of the current
necessary for full operation.
AC Fuse Holder
To replace the fuse, unplug the power cord from the Power Cord
Connector and use a screwdriver to remove the fuse holder.

Auto On - Voltage In/Out
The Sonamp amplifiers can be turned on and off using 3-30 volts AC
or DC. The Voltage Output supplies a 12 volt DC signal to control
additional amplifiers or other equipment.
Volume Level Controls
Each channel on the amplifier has a volume adjustment pot
accessible on the rear panel of the amplifier.
NOTE: WHEN ANY OF THE LEDS ARE LIT RED TURN THE
AMPLIFIER OFF IMMEDIATELY. DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE
PROBLEM BEFORE TURNING THE AMPLIFIER ON.

Speaker Connections
The removable block connectors used on the Sonamp amplifiers will
accept up to 12 gauge wire.
Follow the connection layout on the rear panel of the amplifier.
Make sure no bare wires come in contact with the amplifier chassis.
When bridging channels, use the two outside connections on each
connector. The positive wire from the speaker should be on the
left side connection and the negative connection should be on the
right side.
Line Inputs/Loop Outputs
The 2-100 amplifier has LINE INPUTS and loop OUTPUTS.
The 12-50 amplifier has BUSS INPUTS A/B and loop OUTPUTS.
The loop outputs are non buffered, the maximum number of
amplifiers that can be looped together will depend on the output
capability of your source component.

Powering the Amplifier
The Sonamp 2-100 & 12-50 features
a removable IEC power connector
(Figure 7). A 14-gauge EIA standard
120-volt grounded power cable is
included with the amplifier. Due to
the amplifier’s power requirement,
Sonance recommends that this cable
not be replaced with another of
unknown quality.
Each time the amplifier’s power cord is initially plugged in and the
POWER switch is turned ON, all channel outputs are disconnected
for approximately 12 seconds and all PROTECTION LEDs will
illuminate briefly while the amp boots up.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT PLUG THE POWER CORD INTO THE WALL
OUTLET UNTIL ALL SYSTEM CONNECTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE
AND VERIFIED.
Plug the female end of the power cable into the Power Connector
on the amplifier’s rear panel and plug the male end directly into a
grounded 15 amp or 20 amp wall outlet.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT PLUG THE AMPLIFIER’S POWER CORD
INTO A CONVENIENCE OUTLET ON ANY OTHER AUDIO OR
VIDEO COMPONENT.
If the electrical service is subject to frequent sags, spikes, or
brownouts, a power conditioner designed for use with high fidelity
equipment should be employed to protect the amplifier.
CAUTION: FOR CONTINUED PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE,
REPLACE THE FUSE WITH ONLY THE SAME TYPE AND RATING.

CORD CONNECTION
Source Connections/Selection 12-50
There are three options when connecting audio inputs to the
12-50 amplifier:
LOCAL Line In Connectors - Use this input when you want the
audio source to only come out of a specific channel (see Figure 9).
Buss A Input - Use this input when you want an audio source to be
available to any of the 12 channels.
Buss B Input - Use this input when you want an audio source to be
available to any of the 12 channels.
Buss Loop Outputs - Each of the Buss Inputs provide loop outputs
to allow multiple amplifiers to share common audio sources. The
loop outputs on the 12-50 amplifier are not buffered. The number of
amplifiers that can be connected in series will depend on the output
level of the audio source. The source connected to the LEFT and RIGHT
LINE IN Inputs passes through to the LEFT and RIGHT LINE Outputs

Source Connections 2-100
On the left side of the 2-100 rear panel are the audio inputs for the
left and right channels. In addition to the left and right inputs there
are also loop outputs for each channel.
The loop outputs allow multiple
amplifiers to share common audio
sources. The loop outputs on the
2-100 amplifier are not buffered.
The number of amplifiers that
can be connected in series will
depend on the output level of
your audio source. The source
connected to the LEFT and RIGHT
LINE IN Inputs pass through the
LEFT and RIGHT LINE Outputs
(see Figure 11).

Volume Level Controls
2-100 & 12-50
On the rear panel of both the 2-100 and
12-50 individual channel volume controls
are provided (see Figure 12). These
volume controls allow balancing the
desired sound levels for various zones, or
balancing the outputs from right and left
channels to compensate for various room
characteristics or seating arrangements.
The volume controls are set at 50%.
IMPORTANT: USE CAUTION WHEN SETTING VOLUME LEVELS
EITHER ON THE AMPLIFIER OR AN AUDIO SWITCHER AS
NOT TO OVERDRIVE AND POSSIBLY DAMAGE SPEAKERS.
VERIFY ALL SOURCES AS OUTPUT VOLTAGE VARIES FROM
DEVICE TO DEVICE.

Speaker Connections
For the best sound you should
use premium speaker wire, that
complies with fire rating codes.
Be sure to check local codes
governing wire that may be
installed within walls or ceilings.
Sonamp amplifiers are stable with
any reputable brand of speaker wire
or cable. The Sonamp amplifiers
use speaker block connectors that
can accommodate up to 12 gauge
wire (see Figure 13).
NOTE: ALWAYS CHECK LOCAL BUILDING CODES BEFORE
INSTALLING WIRE IN WALLS OR CEILINGS.

Trigger Mode Control 2-100 & 12-50
You can set the Sonamp amplifiers so that they will automatically turn
ON when it receives an audio signal, when it receives a control voltage
from an external source, or to remain on and not enter standby.
NOTE: IF EITHER AUDIO OR VOLTAGE TRIGGERS ARE SELECTED,
THE AMPLIFIER HAS A 12 SECOND CYCLE TIME FROM STANDBY
TO PLAY AN AUDIO SIGNAL. THIS IS NORMAL AND REQUIRED TO
COMPLY WITH THE EU < .5 WATT ErP DIRECTIVE. (EC/1275/2008).
SELECT OFF TO BYPASS THIS FEATURE. SEE POWER CONSUMPTION
TABLE FOR IDLE POWER USE (SEE FIGURE 7).
Auto On Triggering - Three Position Switch
AUDIO
In this mode, the amplifier will automatically turn ON when the
minimum audio signal of 2.5 mV is detected at any of the inputs
(Buss or LOCAL on the 12-50). This takes 12 seconds. The amplifier
will turn OFF after 15 minutes of no input signal on any of the inputs.
VOLTAGE
When AUTO ON switch is in the left position, power will only turn
on with a VOLTAGE of 3 to 30 volts AC or DC. Connect the trigger
voltage source to the input of the voltage trigger using the left side
of the green block connector. This takes 12 seconds.
OFF
When AUTO ON switch is in the center position, OFF, the amplifier
will remain ON and will not go into standby mode.
NOTE: WHEN THE AUTO ON SWITCH IS SET TO OFF THE
AMPLIFIERS POWER SAVING FEATURE WILL BE DISABLED.
12V Trigger Output
The Sonamp has a 12V OUTPUT 2-wire screw connector found on
the right side of the green block connector that provides 12V DC
whenever the amplifier is ON.
NOTE: THE CURRENT DRAW ON THE 12V TRIGGER OUTPUT
CONNECTION SHOULD NOT EXCEED 200mA.

Protection Circuitry and LEDs
The Sonamp amplifiers have a multi-stage protection system to
prevent damage to your amplifier and speakers.
Amplifier Channel Protection 2-100 & 12-50
If a channel encounters a short-circuit (in bridged mode the
protection circuitry will sense a short circuit across both positive
speaker terminals), or extremely low impedance will cause the
affected channel outputs to automatically mute. The output of
the effected channel will remain muted until the fault has been
corrected. Only the effected channels output will mute, all other
channels will continue to operate normally.
Amplifier Channel Protection Indication 2-100 & 12-50
On the front panel of the Sonamp 2-100 and 12-50 amplifiers are
dual color LEDs that illuminate to indicate the current operating
status of each amplifier channel.
When the LED blinks red this is an indication that the channel is
being overdriven.
When the LED lights are solid red this is an indication the amplifier
is in protect mode. While in protect mode the LED lights will
periodically light green to retest the output to determine if the short
has been removed. Protect mode could be caused by a short in the
wire, overheating of the amplifier or possibly an internal problem
with the amplifier.
IMPORTANT: ALLOWING THE AMPLIFIER TO OPERATE WITH
ONE OR MORE CHANNELS IN PROTECT MODE FOR AN
EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME CAN DAMAGE THE AMPLIFIER.
Amplifier Power Supply Protection 2-100 & 12-50
The amplifier also has protection for the power supply. If the power
supply heat sink temperature exceeds the design maximum, the
protection circuit will activate, disconnecting all channel outputs.
This is indicated by a blinking light on the front panel power switch.
IMPORTANT: ANY TIME THE PROTECTION CIRCUITS ARE
TRIGGERED, UNPLUG THE AMPLIFIER’S POWER CORD FROM
THE WALL OUTLET BEFORE TROUBLESHOOTING.
Rack Ear Installation 12-50
The 12-50 ships with two short rack ears. Unscrew the four Phillips
head screws found on each side of the left and right forward section
of amplifier. Use these screws to connect the included rack ears to
the amplifier (see Figure 17).
