System Connection

Audio Output

Default output: 2x20Watt@4Ohm

The default amplifier output is 2 x 20 watts into a 4-ohm load. The amplifier should be connected as pictured below:

Bridge connection: 1x40Watt@8Ohm

The amplifier can also be connected in a bridged configuration. This doubles the output power to 1 x 40 watts into 8 ohms. The inputs are summed to mono so either or both can be used. The Bridge connection is:

Dual-mono Output 2x20Watt@4Ohm

The amplifier can also be connected in a double-mono configuration. It sums the left and right channels to generate a mono audio output. The Mono connection is:

Loop Output

Variable line level output. Output level changes with the line volume control.

Microphone input

The microphone input has three modes and different modes use different connections:

48V phantom power input

With the switch set to “48V”, the microphone input will provide a 48V phantom power. This is typically used with condenser microphones.
Connect as follows: “+” connects to positive, “-” connects to negative, and “╧” connects to ground.

Note: Use with condenser microphones only.

MIC input

With the switch set to “MIC”, the microphone input is used to connect dynamic microphones.
Connect as follows: “+” connects to positive, “-” connects to negative, and “╧” connects to ground.

LINE input

With the switch set to “LINE”, the microphone input is used to connect with line-level audio or a wireless microphone output.
Connect as follows: “+” connects to positive, “-” connects to negative, and “╧” connects to ground.

Operation of the Control Panel and the IR Remote

Operation of the Control Panel

The buttons on top of the unit provide control of volume, EQ, and input switching. 5.1.1. Input switching
There are two switchable stereo audio inputs, one stereo RCA input, and one stereo 3.5mm jack input, switchable through the buttons as below:

Volume/EQ control

The line volume and MIC volume can be controlled by the arrow buttons. The MIC Volume, LINE volume, bass level, and treble level are selected first and then controlled with the arrow buttons. See the picture below:

Troubleshooting & Maintenance

1. When there is no output audio:

   • Check if there is any signal at the input.
     The signal can be verified by using an oscilloscope or a multimeter. If there is no signal at the input, it may be that the input cable is broken or the connectors are loose. Check the connectors and, if necessary, change out the cable.

   • Check if there is any signal at the output.

   • Verify that the correct input is chosen.

2. If the POWER indicator LED is not illuminated make sure the power cord is plugged in.

FAQ’S

What is a Mixing Audio Amplifier?

A mixing audio amplifier is a device that can combine audio signals (mix them) from different sources and amplify (increase) the power of the combined signal before sending it to speakers.

How do I control the volume and tone on the Leviton 41920-A01?

Most amplifiers include knobs or sliders that allow you to adjust various aspects of the sound, such as volume, bass, and treble. The specific controls would depend on the model.

How should I position the Leviton 41920-A01 in my setup?

Ensure it's on a flat surface, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Providing space around the amplifier will allow for proper ventilation and avoid overheating.

Can I connect both dynamic and condenser microphones to the amplifier?

This depends on the amplifier's design. Some amplifiers can handle both, while others may require an external power source or phantom power for condenser microphones.

Is the Leviton 41920-A01 compatible with both passive and active speakers?

Typically, an amplifier is designed to power passive speakers. Active speakers have their own built-in amplifier. Connecting an external amplifier to active speakers can damage them unless the setup specifically allows for it.

What type of maintenance does the amplifier require?

Most amplifiers are relatively low-maintenance. However, it's a good practice to keep them free of dust, ensure they're well-ventilated, and avoid spilling liquids on them.

Can I use headphones with this amplifier?

If the amplifier has a dedicated headphone output, then yes. Remember that the signal strength meant for speakers can damage headphones if plugged into the wrong output.

How do I reset the Leviton 41920-A01 to its factory settings?

Resetting to factory settings would generally involve following a specific sequence detailed in the user manual. If not specified, contacting the manufacturer's support may be the best approach.

Can I connect a subwoofer to the Leviton 41920-A01?

If the amplifier has a dedicated subwoofer output or if it fits within the system's capabilities, then you should be able to connect a subwoofer.

How do I register my Leviton 41920-A01 for warranty or support?

The process would typically involve completing a form on the manufacturer's website or mailing in a registration card that comes with the product.
