When Installing the Unit
• Never plug in nor remove the power supply plug
with wet hands, as doing so may cause electric
shock.
• When unplugging the power supply cord, be sure
to grasp the power supply plug; never pull on the
cord itself. Operating the unit with a damaged
power supply cord may cause a fire or electric
shock.
• When moving the unit, be sure to remove its power
supply cord from the wall outlet. Moving the unit
with the power cord connected to the outlet may
cause damage to the power cord, resulting in fire or
electric shock. When removing the power cord, be
sure to hold its plug to pull.
• Do not block the ventilation slots in the unit's cover.
Doing so may cause heat to build up inside the unit
and result in fire.
• Avoid installing the unit in humid or dusty locations,
in locations exposed to the direct sunlight, near the
heaters, or in locations generating sooty smoke or
steam as doing otherwise may result in fire or
electric shock.
• When unpacking or moving the unit, be sure to
handle the unit with two or more persons. Falling or
dropping the unit may cause personal injury and/or
property damage.
When the Unit is in Use
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit as this may
cause it to fall or break which may result in
personal injury and/or property damage. In
addition, the object itself may fall off and cause
injury and/or damage.
• Make sure that the volume control is set to
minimum position before power is switched on.
Loud noise produced at high volume when power is
switched on can impair hearing.
• Do not operate the speaker for an extended period
of time with the sound distorting. This is an
indication of a malfunction, which in turn can cause
heat to generate and result in a fire.
• Contact your TOA dealer as to the cleaning. If dust
is allowed to accumulate in the unit over a long
period of time, a fire or damage to the unit may
result.
• If dust accumulates on the power supply plug or in
the wall AC outlet, a fire may result. Clean it
periodically. In addition, insert the plug in the wall
outlet securely.
• Switch off the power, and unplug the power supply
plug from the AC outlet for safety purposes when
cleaning or leaving the unit unused for 10 days or
more. A fire or electric shock may result.

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
TOA's IP series dual power amplifiers feature high durability, high quality sound and high output power (IP300D: 300 W, IP-450D: 450 W, IP-600D: 600 W - when a 4 Ω load connected). Input/output levels and other
functions can be remotely controlled from external equipment. (An interface unit is required. For details,
contact your TOA dealer.) The amplifier is ideal for use in store sound systems, permanently-installed sound
systems, and other sound systems.
3. FEATURES
• Small in size (2-rack unit size) and light in weight.
• Ensures a high degree of safety by largely reducing the rush current which flows when the power is switched
on.
• Variable forced-air cooling system changes the speed of a fan as the heat sink temperature varies, keeping
fan operation noise low.
• Three different output modes are made available for selection: Stereo, BTL and parallel outputs. In parallel
mode, the input level of each channel can be set independently.
• An internal limiter limits the current during overload, and a protection circuit disconnects the output during an
output short circuit by detecting the levels of both voltage and current. The protection circuit also disconnects
the output during an abnormal temperature rise.
• Large output screw terminals (10 mm in width) allow connection of solderless terminals with diameter of 9.5
mm. Because two of each of positive (+) and negative (–) terminals are provided, even the four-core speaker
cables can be connected.
• Control I/O terminal. Input and output levels can be remotely controlled or monitored from external
equipment. (An interface unit is required. For details, contact your TOA dealer.)
• Detachable carrying handles even after the unit is installed in a rack.
• Pushlock volume controls prevent accidental setting changes after installation.
• An AC inlet simplifies the system maintenance after installation.
4. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
• Line Source: 230 VAC ±10%, 50/60 Hz
Never connect the AC power cord to any other line voltage than that specifically designated.
• To avoid oscillation, keep the input cable away from the output cable. Particular care must be exercised
when mounting the unit in an equipment rack.
• In some installations, a ground loop is formed and such noise as hum may be generated. In such cases, cut
the loop by removing a shorting metal piece attached to the ground terminals on the rear panel. The noise
can be reduced.
• These power amplifiers have a filter in their front panel. Clean the filter as frequently as possible. If it
becomes clogged, heat cannot escape from the inside of the unit.
• Never connect two amplifier outputs in parallel under any circumstances.

T (Tip): HOT R (Ring): COLD S(Sleeve): GROUND
Output mode selector switch
Selects STEREO, BTL or PARALLEL mode.
• STEREO mode
Channels 1 and 2 are operated independently. (The
unit functions as a normal stereo amplifier.) Channel
1 input signal goes to Channel 1 output, and
Channel 2 input signal goes to Channel 2 output.
• BTL mode
The unit functions as a monaural amplifier with 1
input and 1 output. Channel 1 input signal goes to
both output BTL (+) and (–) terminals.
• PARALLEL mode
The unit functions as a monaural amplifier with 1
input and 2 outputs. Channel 1 input signal goes to
the outputs of both Channels 1 and 2. Input signal
levels of channels 1 and 2 can be set independently.
[Precautions]
Use only Channel 1 input terminal when in BTL or
PARALLEL mode. Do not use Channel 2 input terminal.
Confirm the position of the output mode selector switch
before switching on the power. Be sure to switch off the
power when changing mode switch settings.
Level control switch
Usually, set this switch to OFF. When an interface unit
is connected, shifting this switch to ON permits external
input level adjustment.
[Precautions]
No sound is output if the level control switch is set to
ON without connecting an interface unit. Confirm the
switch position before switching on the power. Be sure
to switch off the power when changing control switch
settings.
Control I/O terminal
Connects to an interface unit when monitoring or
performing remote controls from external equipment.
For details, contact your TOA dealer.
[Precautions]
No other unit other than an interface unit must be
connected to the terminal. Be sure to switch off the
power when connecting an interface unit.
Output terminal (with a protection cover)
Connect speaker cables to these terminals. Because
the upper terminals are connected in parallel with the
lower terminals, both terminals can be used
simultaneously. Refer to p.8 for speaker cable
connections.
[Precautions]
Be sure to switch off the power when connecting the
speaker cables. Never connect two amplifier outputs in
parallel under any circumstances.
Grounding terminal for signals
When the power amplifier is connected to other
equipment, grounding sometimes creates a loop,
producing hum noise. This loop can be cut and noise
reduced by removing a shorting metal piece connecting
two terminals.

6. INSTALLATION
• Carefully note heat radiation when installing the unit. These power amplifiers are equipped with a cooling
fan. To avoid heat buildup, ensure that the rear of the unit is at least 10 cm away from the wall surface.
• When mounting the unit in the rack, the inside of the rack must be well ventilated. To accomplish this, keep
the rear side of rack open (no panel is mounted), and mount a ventilation panel of over 1-unit size in the
uppermost and lowermost rack positions on the rack front.
• When installing in the rack, be sure to mount a perforated panel of over 1-unit size for four amplifiers. See
the figure below.
• Robust structure is one of the unit's main features. However, if the strength is particularly needed when
installing the unit in the rack, use the supporting runner YA-706 (option) for the safety purposes.
