[LAYVIKAY] Professional Power Amplifier User Manual

Product Information

This series of power amplifiers from Layvikay adopts a special circuit design that focuses on product stability under conditions of long-term continuous use at full power. The PCB board uses double-sided wiring through-hole technology, which reduces false welding of internal components during transportation and overcurrent damage when working on full power for a long time. The circuit layout, designed by the computer simulation system, allows the amplifier to have over 110dB SNR, meeting the requirements for touring sound applications. It has high efficiency with high power output and a damping factor of up to 400 or more, resulting in strong and elastic sound.

Product Usage Instructions

  1. Read and keep the user manual for future reference.
  2. Follow all safety instructions and warnings provided.
  3. Do not use the amplifier near water.
  4. Clean the amplifier only with a dry cloth.
  5. Ensure proper ventilation by not blocking any ventilation openings.
  6. Do not install the amplifier near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, or stoves.
  7. Do not modify or defeat the safety features of the polarized or grounding-type plug.
  8. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement.
  9. Do not expose the amplifier to rain or moisture to reduce the risk of fire or electric shock.

Connecting the Needle Socket Division

XLR type connecting socket should be wired as follows:

  • Pin 1: Ground
  • Pin 2: Hot (+)
  • Pin 3: Cold (-)

Note: Although this equipment has complete protection for short-circuit and overload, try to avoid short circuit and overload for output to ensure long- term normal operation.

Front Panel Controls and Functions

  1. POWER ON/OFF: Use this switch to turn the amplifier on or off.
  2. POWER INDICATOR: When the power is turned on, the indicator will blink repeatedly for 3-5 seconds as a protection mechanism. If the amplifier is inspecting before starting up or if there are any issues, no sound will be output from the speakers. Once the inspection is complete or problems are resolved, the light will be fully lit, indicating normal operation.
  3. SIGNAL LEDS: These LEDs indicate the presence and strength of the input signal.
  4. INPUT ATTENUATORS: Use these controls to adjust the input signal level.
  5. CLIP LED: This LED indicates when the output signal is clipping or distorting.
  6. THE EXHAUST HOLE: This hole allows for proper ventilation and cooling of the amplifier.

The features of these power amplifiers

This series adopt a special circuit design, focusing on product stability under conditions of long-term continuous use at full power. As the PCB board uses double-sided wiring through-hole technology, which can reduce false welding of internal components during transportation and overcurrent to damage products by working on full power for a long time.
And the circuit layout designed by the computer simulation system can allow the amplifier has over 110dB SNR, to meet the requirement on touring sound applications, it has high efficiency with high power type. And the damping factor of This series products can be up to 400 or more, the sound is strong and elastic.
High powerful, extremely strong driving ability.
Adopt an optimized cooling system and high quality cooling fan to ensure stability on long time working at high power.
Fan can speed up automatically by variations of temperature in the machine, (when connected with the load impedance is too low or the temperature is too high, the machine will automatically adjust the power supply to reduce the internal resistance. This function is only used on 5 + or above.), can improve the sound quality and protect the machine effectively, and highly improved reliability.
Low distortion, high slew rate, more perfect sound quality and higher resolution.
Dual-channel, can be bridged connected. Fan can speed up automatically by variations of temperature in the machine. Start up delay, overload, short circuit, overtemperature, load short-circuit protection. Limiting control. Independent input control.

Explanation of Graphical Symbols

LAYVIKAY-Professional-Power-Amplifier-1

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s closure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the pres-ence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Read these instructions.
  2. Keep these instructions.
  3. Heed all warnings.
  4. Follow all instructions.
  5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

Instructions on Safe Operations

Install:

  • The device can only be inserted in the AC power supply socket of the specification or the specification of the specification on the instructions of the user manual.
    Otherwise it may cause a fire or an electric shock.

  • Pls don’t scratch, bend, twist, pull, or heat the power cord, or may damage the power cord, and lead to fire or electric shock.

  • Pls don’t open the device cover or may result in electric shock. If you think there need any internal inspection, maintenance or repair, please contact your dealer.

  • The device has a ventilation hole on the front and back, so as to avoid the internal temperature rising too high. Do not block the ventilation holes.
    Blocked ventilation holes may cause fire.
