INTRODUCTION

The AMP 106 T is a 1-channel mini installation amplifier from the TICA® series and is ideal for use in sound installations where small dimensions, passive cooling and high efficiency are required.
The highly efficient 60W Class-D amplifier, with Lo-Z / Hi-Z selector switch and 4 Ohm / 100V / 70V outputs, is convection-cooled and a straightforward solution for professional installers.
With a size of 1/4 19“ rack, 1U, the mini AMP 106 T fits perfectly in any installation location.
The supplied mounting plates offer maximum flexibility and facilitate discreet mounting, whether on the table or on the wall. Installation in suspended ceilings is also no problem thanks to the compact size and passive cooling.
For space-saving installation in the rack, an optional rack tray offers you the possibility to place up to four products of the TICA® series next to each other.
Terminal strip connections on the balanced line inputs and speaker outputs make wiring particularly easy.
Thanks to the option of remote control through third-party devices, you can conveniently adjust the volume or put the power amplifier into standby mode at any time, even when it‘s hidden.
The perfect solution for professional installers and users looking for a compact, highly efficient and easy-to-integrate solution.

CONNECTIONS, OPERATING AND DISPLAY ELEMENTS

1. TERMINAL BLOCK CONNECTION FOR POWER SUPPLY
   Terminal block connection for the device‘s power supply. To avoid damage to the unit, please use only the original power supply (power supply unit included).

2. STRAIN RELIEF
   Use the strain relief for the flexible cable of the power supply unit to protect the device‘s power terminal block connector and the power supply terminal block from damage and to prevent the terminal block from being pulled out unintentionally.

3. LINE IN L/R
   Analogue audio inputs with balanced terminal block connections. The +, – and G poles are for the balanced input signal (suitable for unbalanced cabling). The signals of the inputs L and R are internally mono summed. Terminal blocks are included in the  packaging content.

4. OUTPUT
   The loudspeaker output with terminal block connection (terminal block included in the packaging content) enables the use of low-impedance loudspeakers with an impedance of at least 4 ohms (switch LO-Z/HI-Z in position LO-Z) as well as 70 V or 100 V  loudspeakers (switch LO-Z/HI-Z in position HI-Z). Please observe the correct assignment of the terminal block poles (see TERMINAL BLOCK CONNECTIONS in this manual). The total power handling of the connected speakers should be approximately  equal to the amplifier power.

5. HI-Z / LO-Z
   Before operating the unit, make sure that the switch is in the correct position!
   Low impedance loudspeakers: LO-Z
   70 V and 100 V loudspeakers: HI-Z

6. SETTINGS
   DIP switch 1 STANDBY: Move the switch to the ON position to activate the automatic standby function of the unit. If the standby function is activated, the amplifier is automatically set to standby mode if no audio signal is detected for about 20 minutes.  This reduces power consumption in a sensible way. As soon as an audio signal is present, the amplifier is automatically booted up from standby mode and is fully operational again within approximately 3 seconds. The power symbol on the front panel lights up red in standby mode. If the power symbol lights up white, the unit is ready for operation.
   DIP switch 2 HPF: Move the switch to ON position to activate the high-pass filter (HPF 110 Hz).

7. STANDBY
   Standby mode can be activated manually with the help of an external button (momentary switch). Press the button to activate standby mode and mute the speaker outputs. Press the button again to end standby mode. The standby function via external  button has priority over the automatic standby function (see SETTINGS).

8. VCA
   Terminal block connector for the use of an external volume control. The maximum volume is set on the VOLUME control on the front panel. Once you have set the maximum volume, you can use the external volume control to adjust the volume of the unit  from the minimum value to the preset value as desired. Please observe the correct assignment of the terminal block poles (see TERMINAL BLOCK CONNECTIONS in this manual).

9. POWER SYMBOL
   The power symbol lights up white when the installation amplifier is ready for operation. In standby mode, the symbol lights up red.

10. VOLUME
    Volume control. Turning to the right increases the volume, turning to the left decreases it.

11. SIG (SIGNAL)
    As soon as an audio signal is present at the amplifier, the signal indicator lights up white.

12. CLIP
    The CLIP indicator lights up when the amplifier is overdriven. In this case, reduce the volume level. Failure to do so may result in distorted sound reproduction and damage to the amplifier and speakers.

13. PROT (PROTECT)
    The Protect indicator lights up permanently if the system is overloaded or overheats, in case of a short circuit in the loudspeaker path and in case of a defect. The amplifier is automatically muted. Disconnect the amplifier from the power supply and let it  cool down for some time. Eliminate a possible short circuit in the speaker path. Reconnect the amplifier to the power supply. If the Protect indicator still lights up, there is a defect in the amplifier electronics. Contact an authorised service workshop.

AIR VENTS
To prevent damage to the device, do not cover the ventilation openings on the left and right sides and on the top and bottom of the device and ensure that air can circulate freely. Covering the ventilation openings on the top or bottom of the enclosure when  mounting it underneath or on top of a table is not critical, as the cooling provided by the ventilation openings on the remaining sides is sufficient.

TERMINAL BLOCK CONNECTIONS

CONNECTIONS VCA

OUTPUT CONNECTIONS

ATTENTION: When wiring terminal blocks, please note the correct assignment of the poles/terminals. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage caused by faulty wiring!

CONNECTION EXAMPLE

UNDER / ON-TABLE MOUNTING
There are two recesses on the top and bottom of the enclosure, each with two M3 threaded holes, for mounting underneath or on top of the table. Screw the two enclosed mounting plates to the top or bottom side using the enclosed M3 countersunk screws. Now  the amplifier can be fixed in the desired position (see illustration, fixing screws not included). For tabletop mounting, the four rubber feet must be removed beforehand.

CARE, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

To ensure the proper functioning of the device in the long term, it must be cared for regularly and serviced as required. The care and maintenance requirements depend on the intensity of use and environment.
We generally recommend a visual inspection before each start-up. Furthermore, we recommend carrying out all the maintenance measures listed below every 500 operating hours or, in the case of less intensive use, after one year at the latest. Defects due to  insufficient care may result in limitations of the warranty claims.

MAINTENANCE (user performable)
WARNING! Prior to any Maintenance measures, the voltage supply and, if possible, all device connections must be disconnected.
NOTE! Improper maintenance may impair the device or even destroy it.

1. Housing surfaces must be cleaned with a clean, damp cloth.
   Make sure that no moisture can penetrate the device.

2. Air inlets and outlets must be regularly cleaned of dust and dirt.
   If compressed air is used, make sure that damage to the device is prevented (e.g. fans must be blocked in this case).

3. Lines and plug contacts must be cleaned regularly and dust and dirt must be removed.

4. In general, no cleaning agents or abrasive agents may be used, otherwise the surface finish may be damaged. Especially solvents, such as alcohol, can impair the function of housing seals.

5. Devices must generally be stored dry and protected from dust and dirt.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR (by qualified personnel only)
DANGER! There are live components in the device. Even after disconnection from the mains, residual voltage may still be present in the device, e.g. due to charged capacitors.
NOTE! There are no assemblies in the device that require maintenance by the user.
NOTE! Maintenance and repair work may only be carried out by qualified personnel authorized by the manufacturer. In case of doubt, contact the manufacturer.
NOTE! Improperly performed maintenance work may affect the warranty claim.
