Introduction

The DA range class-D power amplifier range uses switching power technology, which results in minimum power consumption and much higher efficiency up to 85%, and it helps to save installation rack space, generate less heat so as to extend its performance life span as a result.

The class-D amplifiers have a rated power output of 120W, 240W or 500W, so it could be used as digital public address system at minimum cost. The versatile loudspeaker outputs of both high impedance 100V & low impedance 8 ohms. It can be used in PA fixed installation or Hi-fi stereo sound installation jobs.

The built-in high-pass filters and auto-standby can be enabled (or disabled) through the dip switch pre-setting.

Automatic standby is activated when there is no signal input for one minute, and wakes up at sight of any input. Visual working status indicators include protection, clip, input and output for easy supervision. With complete short circuit, overload, high temp, clip and DC protection.

Wide AC power supply from 110V to 240V, thus it supports worldwide sound system installation.

There is one balanced input by phoenix connector for each channel with individual gain control.

Front Panel

1. PROT: Protection indicator will light on in orange once the amplifier is in protection status. The protection may be result of a speaker line short circuit, speaker line open circuit, amplifier overload and inner working temperature too high, this indicator gives visual guidance, ask for repair. There are separate protection indicators for each channel. WHEN THE AMP IS IN STANDBY MODE, PROTECTION LED WILL TURN ON. When audio signal is back the amplifier will turn on again.
2. CLIP: Clip indicator will light in red once the input or output is too high. There are separate CLIP indicators for each channel.

Front Panel

1. PROT
   Protection indicator will light on in orange once the amplifier is in protection status. The protection may be result of a speaker
   line short circuit, speaker line open circuit, amplifier overload and inner working temperature too high, this indicator gives visual guidance, ask for repair. There are separate protection indicators for each channel.
   WHEN THE AMP IS IN STANDBY MODE, PROTECTION LED WILL TURN ON. When audio signal is back the amplifier will turn on again.
