Safety Operation

Cautions

1. This amplifier only can plug in the AC power socket which the user’s manual instructs or the specification is shown on this adapter. Or else it may damage the amplifier and causea fire or electric shock.
2. Do not place heavy objects (including this amplifier) on the power cord, or else it may damage the power cord and then cause an electric shock or fire.
3. Do not expose the amplifier in the fume, high humidity, high temperature and dust accumulation place and use.
4. Do not put this amplifier sidelong or upside down, use it in a good air flow environment.
5. When abnormity happen in the operation process, such as smoke, odor, noise, or foreign bodies, liquid entering into the amplifier, please turn off the amplifier immediately, and unplug the socket from the AC power socket
6. The device shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing, shall not be placed the item which is filled with liquids on the device, such as vase and so on.
7. When the device is connected to the power supply socket, it needs the ground protection.
8. The socket of the power cord needs to keep in the normal operational condition.
9. If need to completely disconnect this device from the AC main line, please unplug from the AC power outlet, when you need to power on, please plug in the AC power outlet again.
10. When abnormity happen, please don’t open the chassis and rebuilt or repair the amplifier by yourself, if the internalis sure to need repair and maintenance, please contact the dealers to deal with it.

Operation:

1. When the speaker is connected to the amplifier output socket, it only can use the speaker special cable and connect it in accordance with the provisions.
2. When connect the amplifier, please close all the instruments, audio equipments and speakers.
3. Before turning on the amplifier, please turn down the volume to a minimum.
4. If you do not use this amplifier for a long time, please unplug the power cord from the AC mains socket.
5. When unplug the power plug from the AC power socket, please grasp the plug. Do not directly pull the cable. Otherwise it can damage power cord and then lead to a fire or electric shock.

Main Operation Key& Functions

Front Panel

• Power switch: It can turn on/off the amplifier. When turn on, the POWER LED lights.
• Fault LED: When circuit protection works, the LED will light, especially when the heat-sink overheat or detect the DC voltage in the amplifier, the LED will light. Turn on the amplifier within three seconds, the amplifier is ready to work, the LED will shine. When finish start or the problem is removed, the LED will extinguish, and resume working normally.
• Clip LED: When the output signal distortion of the corresponding channel exceeds 1%, the LED will light, because of the signal level is too high, and have been cut-off.
• Signal LED: when there is the input signal, the LED will light, if not, please check the gain settings, if necessary, can increase the gain.
• Check the input connection and signal audio source. If the Clip LED shines a little or shows no signal, check the output wire whether it is short-circuit or not.
• Gain control: use to set the output level of each channel

Rear Panel

• Power outlet: When use the amplifier, should check whether the selected voltage is correct or not, if the voltage is wrong, it could damage the amplifier, please ensure the device be connected to the power supply with ground to use
• Signal input: CH1 and CH2 are directly connected to the mixer, the input and output connectors of the respective channel are put together, to provide fixed connection, and no need to consider the power switch setting.
• Output connection: Amplifier has two output channels Ch18CH2; they provide output through the SPEAKON connection socket.
• Circuit breaker: when amontier overloaded cause by the small load impedance of the amplifier or the continuous input signal, the button of the circuit breaker will immediately vosorno.and will power on automatcany to protecane amonter And vou must exclude overload condition. and then press the button of the circuit oreaker, ano the power amputer can resume to normal operation
• Mode switch: STEREO mode makes the two channel work indepen dently, CH1 input signal by CH1 output, CH 2 input by CH2 output. BRIDGE mode makes CH1 input signals from the BRIDGE output I socket, output must use CH1 volume control to adjust the volume. PARALLEL mode makes CH1 input signal by CH1 and CH2 output socket output. The input socket of CH2 is no effect. Channel’s volume can be adjusted independently.
• Sensitivity mode: It mainly adjusts the ratio between the input and output.

Connection Mode

Speakon output connection
