Ø If you have questions about the installation of this

equipment, get in touch with our tech support or with a professional specialized in car audio installation;

Ø Before proceeding with the installation of any electric

equipment on your vehicle, unplug the negative (-) terminal of the battery to avoid fires, injuries or damages;

Ø Use your sound system safely, exposure to continuous

sound pressure over 85dB may cause irreversible hearing loss.

Ø Do not install the amplifier in places exposed to water, dirt

or humidity;

Ø To prevent injuries to the user or damage to the amplifier,

read all the safety instructions written on this manual;

Ø Securely mount the amplifier so that it does not come loose

in the event of collision or a suddent jolt to the vehicle. Avoid mounting it on mettalicparts of the vehicle, because it may cause an ground loop (you might have noise issues).

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Congratulations on acquiring a product with the highest quality and technology! The SounDigital products are developed to assure maximum efficiency and reability to your sound system.

Dear Customer,

The main characteristics of Class D amplifiers are: audio quality, efficiency, versatility and compact design. Here are the advantages of these characteristics:

Class D Amplifiers:

Audio Quality – Class D amplifiers used to have a limited

response in the past and they used to have a worse performance regarding higher frequencies than Class AB amps, despite being more efficient. Introducing new technologies, SounDigital developed a Class D amplifier superior to the Class AB ones in efficiency and performance.

Efficiency – The SounDigital Class D amplifiers have a total efficiency (power source + output) higher than 60%, assuring a battery consumption and a heating lower than the expected.

Versatility of Uses –The flat response of all the frequencies of SounDigital amplifiers allows them to be used in all the kinds of systems: SPL, Sound Quality, Trio Eletrico and Pancadao, meeting the needs with extreme quality.

Compact Design – The high efficiency and technology allow our amplifiers to be really compact, making it easy to install them in vehicles where you have limited space.

IMPORTANT INFO

Read this manual and follow its instructions and information carefully. It contains extremely important information to have your amplifier working properly. If you feel the need to contact our Tech Support, you can reach our technicians through the e-mail [email protected].

IMPORTANT INFO

To know our complete line of amplifiers and accessories, visit www.soundigitalusa.com.

We recommend the use of SounDigital original accessories for a better performance. The crossovers and voltmeters offered by SounDigital follow the same quality standards as our amplifiers, assuring an excellent quality and high power sound system to our customers.

This “Warning” sign alerts the user of imp o r ta nt inf o . N o t fo l lo w in g t h i s instructions may cause injuries to the user or damage to the equipment.

Warning!

Ø When passing cables through metallic walls, use rubber O-

rings to avoid cable cutting and short circuits.-

Ø Make sure the place chosen for the installation of the

amplifier will not interfere with the proper working of the vehicle;

Ø Clean the amplifier periodically with a brush or dry cloth to

assure the thermal efficiency of the heatsink;

Ø Be careful when making holes in the vehicle. Make sure

you're not making holes in the fuel tank, br ake lines or e electrical cables of the vehicle;

Ø Make sure the cables are properly fixed throughout the

ins allationt ;

Ø Wear gloves, safety g s and all necessary PPE during lasse

the installation of SounDigital amplifiers.

Before proceding with the installation, unplug the negative

from all of the batteries;

Installation Sequence

Ø Mount the amplifier in such a way you have access to the

connectors;

Ø This product may reach temperatures over 60°C/140°F.

Make sure it is cold before touching it;

Ø Install the power cables on the vehicle in a proper way.

From the battery to the bussbar, fuse holder or circuit breaker. Chose the appropriate size for the cable (see Technical Specs Table ). Make all of the connections to the bussbars, fuse holders or circuit breakers, with no fuses installed and with the circuit breakers in the "Off" position;

Ø Connect the audio output cables to the ampliﬁers and the

acoustic boxes, observing the positive (+) and negative (-) polarities;

Install the signal input cables in a proper way, distant from

the power cables;

Connect the power cables in to the ampliﬁer, observing the polarity. Connect all the positive cables from the fuse holder or circuit breaker to the positive conector of the ampliﬁer and all the negative power cables from the bussbar or from the batteries, to the negative connector of the ampliﬁer;

Ø Connect the remote cable to the REM terminal on the

ampliﬁer and to a 12V power supply activated by a switch key or to the remote power output of the head unit;

Ø Install the remote cable with the power cables, using a

section of 15 AWG (1.5mm²) or thicker;

Ø Before powering the system, verify all the connections and

make sure there are no mistakes or short-circuits on the power and ground cables;

Ø Reconnect the ground of the batteries;

Ø Install the audio output cables with the appropriate section ,

distant from the power and audio input cables;

Ø Check if the remote key is in the "Oﬀ" position and if the

head unit is turned oﬀ, then place the fuses in the fuse holders or switch the circuit breakers on.

Connect the RCA to the head unit and ampliﬁers;

The max. distance for the installation of the fuse/circuit breaker is one foot away from the battery.

Ø High input must be used when the main unit does not have

RCA outputs.

Ø When high inputs is used, no remote connection is

required, the ampliﬁer recognizes the audio signal and switches on.

Ø If your source unit is not able to turn on the ampliﬁer through

the high level input, the remote input should be connected normally.

RCA and hi inputs should not be used simultaneously or you may damage the amplifier.

PROCEDURES FOR SETTING THE GAIN

Necessary equipament:

Turn the gain control all the way down.

Set up procedure

Disconnect the output cables from the amplifier outputs;

Turn off

all processing (bass, treble, loudness, EQ, etc.);

Media with sine wave test tone (60Hz) recorded at 0db;

Ø Set the source unit volume to 3/4 of full volume.

Ø Set the crossover switch to "Full" or "F" and play a 60 Hz

sine wave test track;

Ø Once you have adjusted the amplifier to its correct voltage

output, turn off the source unit and reconnect the speaker(s).

Ø Increase the “Input Sens.” control until the target voltage is

observed with the voltmeter (see the chart to the right);

Ø Connect the AC voltmeter to the speaker output connectors

of the amplifier. Make sure you test the voltage at the correct connectors (+ and –);
