Press to toggle the power on or off. The POWER indicator lights up green when the power is ON. If the amplifier is connected to an amp control unit such as the ACU16-C and the amplifier has been commanded to enter STANDBY mode, this indicator will light orange.
2 TEMP indicator
Lights up red if the heat sink temperature exceeds 85°C (185°F).
3 PROTECTION indicator
When the protection system is active, the indicator lights in red. No sound will be output from the speakers, since the speakers are automatically disconnected from the ampli­fier’s outputs. The protection system actives in the following situations:
•When the amplifier is turned on
The protection system actives for approximately 10 seconds when the amplifier is turned on. After 10 sec­onds, the protection system deactivates automatically and the amplifier is ready for normal operation.
• If the amplifier overheats
The protection system activates if the heat sink tem­perature exceeds 85°C (185°F). The amplifier is muted if the heat sink temperature exceeds 90°C (194 °F). The amplifier operates normally after the ampli­fier cools down.
4 REMOTE indicator
This indicator will light green if the amplifier is being con­trolled by an amp control unit such as ACU16-C.
5 CLIP indicator
Lights up red when the output signal distortion on the corre­sponding channel rises above 1% — indicating that “clip­ping” has occurred because the signal level is too high.
6 SIGNAL indicator
Lights up green when the corresponding channel’s output level exceeds 1 Vrms (equivalent to 0.2 W into an 8 ohms load, 0.4 W into a 4 ohms load or 0.8 W into a 2 ohms load).
