Overview

Digital audio power amplifier (hereinafter referred to as “PA”) adopts the high efficiency class D power amplifier and switching mode power supply technology, the efficiency  under conventional conditions is more than 80%.
PA adopts the active power factor correction technology, can adapt to all the global supply network, and plug & play anywhere; the electric energy can be gotten from the  supply network stably and evenly, thereby minimizing the interference of the supply network, and improve the utilization efficiency.

Features:

• Less heat, low working temperature, life span and reliability will be significantly improved.
• Energy saving and environmental protection, saving operating costs.
• Digital power amplifier + switching mode power supply, high efficiency, small size, light weight.
• Wide operating voltage range: 100-240 VAC (± 10%).
• Three working modes: stereo, mono, bridge.
• 1V and 0.7V gain for selection.
• XLR audio input interface and Speakon audio output interface.
• Perfect protection functions: short circuit, DC, over temperature protection, overload power control, temperature control, etc.
• Low noise high reliable temperature control fan.

Functions and indications

1. Gain control
   Gain is controlled by dB attenuation. With the minimum set, the signal is completely cut off.

2. Fault indicator
   When the circuit protection is onset, the indicator turns red.

3. Clip indicator
   When the output signal distortion of the corresponding channel exceeds 1%, the indicator will turn to orange.

4. Signal indicator
   When the input signal exceeds “-32dBV”, the indicator will turn to green.

5. Power indicator
   The “Power” indicator turns to green when power on.

6. Power switch
   Power on/off.

7. Power connector
   AC 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz.

8. Temperature control fan

9. Power output
   Four core SPEAKON speaker sockets;
   Stereo / mono mode output: CHA/CHB: 1+, 1-;
   Bridge mode output: CHA/B: 1+, 2-.

10. Mode Switch
    Gain switch:
    When the gain of PA is 1 Vrms, the input sensitivity is 1 Vrms;
    When the gain of PA is 0.7 Vrms, the input sensitivity is 0.7 Vrms;
    Mode switch:
    STEREO: channel A&B works independently;
    BRIDGE: signal inputs from channel A and output from channel A;
    MONO: signal inputs from channel A and output from channel A&B.

11. Signal input
    Male XLRF socket.

12. Signal input
    Male XLRM socket.

Connection and operation

3.1 Input/Output
Connecting knowledge:

• Input wire use the shielded wire with high shielding layer density;
• Input signal use balanced connection, to reduce noise interference;
• If using unbalanced connection, the shorter the better, had better not exceed 3 meters;
• Signal cable should avoid go together with power cable and PA output cable, to avoid noise;
• Please power off all devices before change connection; otherwise it may cause damage to the hearing and speakers.

3.2 Stereo mode

3.3 Bridge mode

3.5 Operating instructions

Please confirm before installation:

• The power cord not connected to the power socket;
• The power switch is off;
• Volume knob turned off (counterclockwise to limit).

3.5.1 Protect speaker

Clipping not only makes the sound quality worse, but also damages the treble unit (the “Clip” indicator will be turned on when clipping), you can reduce the input signal level  to avoid clipping.
The speaker drive circuit may be burned by strong infrasound signal. The sound of breathing and the high level and low frequency signal caused by the dropping of the  microphone are typical infrasound signals. To prevent infrasonic signals, one of the following methods should be used:

• Install high pass filter between the mixer output and PA input;
• Open the high pass filter in the mixer. Set the filter frequency as high as possible without affecting the using. For example, set to 35 Hz for music signal and 75 Hz for  microphone signal. For each mixer input channel, the filter frequency is set below the minimum fundamental frequency of the related channel.

3.5.2 Matters need attention
Although PA will be protected under exceptional circumstances, please pay attention to the use of PA in order to achieve the best performance and maximum safety:

1. It is necessary to configure PA before use, including the connection of input and output cables, improper wiring will result in equipment failure;
2. Before turning on the power supply of the device, make sure that the volume control knob is adjusted to the minimum. Otherwise, sudden bursts of sound may damage your hearing;
3. Do not connect the ground wire of the output cable and the ground wire of the input signal, which will form ground loop and cause oscillation;
4. Do not connect the output to the power supply, battery or mains supply. Otherwise it may cause an electric shock;
5. Tampering with the circuit or unauthorized modification of the circuit can be dangerous and cause all services provided by the agent fail;
6. Do not use PA when the yellow “Clip” LED blinks continuously;
7. Please do not make mixer overload, otherwise it will send the clipping signal to PA, and PA will precisely reproduce these signals and speakers may be damaged;
8. Do not use PA below the nominal load, too low load may cause PA output protection and premature clipping may damage the speaker;
9. When PA is switched on, the output interface may have a fatal voltage. Note: TAIDEN is not responsible for any damage caused by excessive use of other system components.

3.5.3 Heat sinking
Heat sinking method: Cold air intake from front panel vent, flow through the heat sink and take away heat, and discharge from rear panel. In order to have a good heat sinking, please put the device in 0 – 40 °C environment, and make a smooth ventilation between the front and rear panel. Reserved space shall not be less than: side 5 cm, rear 10 cm. If the temperature of the internal heat sink is more than 70 °C, the power limit function will be activated, and the output power will be reduced to avoid excessive temperature rising. If the temperature of the internal heat sink continues to rise to more than 85 °C, PA will be protected and the output will be turned off. When it drops to a safe temperature, PA will start automatically.

Troubleshooting

The following table lists the main reasons for the abnormal work and treatment measures, as well as the circuit protection in each case.

insert it firmly
Rear panel breaker disconnect| Check the circuit breaker and reset it
PA power switched off| Check the front panel power switch and place it in the “On” position
“Power” indicator blinks| AC voltage low| Check AC cable
“Fault” indicator on| Short circuit in speaker terminals, PA output terminals or speaker cable| Locate the short circuit and eliminate the short circuit
PA overload| Only 4 0 and above speakers system can be used in stereo and mono mode, and only 8 12 and above speakers system can be used in bridge mode
“Clip” indicator on| Input signal is too high| Lower input level
Power off during operation (All  indicator off)| PA output DC voltage| Consult your local service center
