INTRODUCTION

The A150.2 / A300.2 switching power professional Amplifier is designed for professio nal use o n stage. The high-quality components and the carefully designed circuits ensure excellent audio performance and an extremely linear frequency response. In fact, the switching technology offers, together with an increased efficiency and a better control of heat dissipation than conventional power supply systems, a drastic reduction of dimensions and weight, for easier transportation and installation. This Amplifier guarantees total reliability and a trouble-free use even in the most demanding conditions. We believe the A150.2 / A300.2 will provide a perfect performance, what you get is unprecedented performance at an incredibly attractive price.

Features

• High current switching power allows high power output with low noise and low distortion
• Substantial protection circuitry like thermal, short circuit, power o n/off mut ing and Therefore protection
• Built-in limiter
• Balanced XLR-TRS combo input jack
• 1/4″ TRS jack and Speakon output connectors
• Front-mounted gain controls for easy access
• Signal, Clip protect, and Power LED indicators to monitor performance.

CONTROL ELEMENTS

1. Power Switch
   It switches ON/OFF the unit main power.

2. Level Control
   These volume controls allow you to adjust the volume level.

3. Power/Prior LED
   The Green LED light up when the amplifier power on. The Red LED light up when the amplifier input priority.

4. Signal LED
   These green LEDs light up when the respective channel’s output signal pass through.

5. Protection LED
   In normal operation, the LED will not illume; If the LED turns red, it means the unit is in hea t protection without sound output. The speaker system is actually disconnected from the amplified output s when this LED is red, the temperature must be reduced by good ventilation and the signal level decreased etc, if the problem is resolved. the protection output systems will deactivate automatically, and normal amplifier operation is resumed.

6. Clip LED
   This red LED lights up when the input signal is too strong. it is time to reduce the input level until clip LED turns off.

7. Air Intake Vents
   A150.2/A300.2 employ a variable speed internal cooling fan to intake the air through the front grill to keep it running cool even under extreme operating conditions. Please keep these vents clear and free from obstruction at all times to insure proper cooling.

8. Bridged LED
   The Bridged LED light up when the amplifier is in Bridged Mode.

WIRING CONNECTIONS

Patching two bridge mono mode system

Two bridge mono amplifiers can be patched together (operated in mono mode) by connecting signal cable between their input jacks. The signal smart switch must be set to the bridge position.

REAR PANEL

1. AC Input
   Use it to connect your A150.2/A300.2 to the supplied AC cord.

2. Channel 1 XLR Input
   This XLR jack will accept any balanced or unbalanced low impedance line level source by means of a three-pin XLR plug. The wiring for the plug is as follows: Pin1=Ground, Pin2=Signal+, Pin3= Signal-.

3. Channel 1 TRS Input
   This TRS(1/4′) jack will accept line level signal sources by means of cables fit with standard 1/4″ phone plugs. This input are compatible with balanced and unbalanced low impedance, and high impedance sources. Low impedance balanced input is to be wir ed as fol lows: Tip=signal+, R ing= signal-, Sleeve=Ground.

4. Channel 2 XLR Input
   This XLR jack will accept any balanced or unbalanced low impedance line level source by means of a three-pin XLR plug.

5. Channel 2 TRS Input
   This TRS(1/4′) jack will accept line level signal sources by means of cables fit with standard 1/4″ phone plug.

6. Signal Smart Switch
   Use this switch to select the operating mode of the amplifier. The switch functions as follows:

   • STEREO: input 1 to CH 1 amp, input 2 to CH 2 amp; BRIDGE: input 1 to Mono Bridge amps.

7. Channel 1 Speakon NL-4R
   Connect the amplifier to your speakers using these speakon jacks.

8. Channel 1 TRS (1/4″) jack
   Connect the amplifier to your speakers using these speakon jacks.

9. Channel 2 Speakon NL-4R
   Connect the amplifier to your speakers using these speakon jacks.

10. Channel 2 TRS (1/4″) jack
    Connect the amplifier to your speakers using these speakon jacks.

11. Limit Switch
    Control the built-in limiter on/off.

12. Exhaust Vents
    Air is drawn from front grilles, flown through the unit and heat sink, and then exhausted via the rear vents. Do not block or impede the air flow through these vents and keep the vent areas free of foreign materials.

APPLICATIONS

Stereo Operation

A150.2/A300.2 can be used in the stereo mode as two separate 300/600 watt units, e ach capable of driving loads down to 4 ohms. Each channel operates independently and has its own input connectors,sensitivity level controls, signal indicator LEDs, automatic limiter, fault protection circuitry, power amp, and speaker outputs. In the stereo mode, the signal smart switch must be set to the stereo position.One application of the stereo mode uses one channel of the amplifier for the left house speakers and the other channel for the right. The mixing board channels can be panned left or right according to the position of the instruments on the stage. This approach provides a more accurate reproduction of the live performance.

SWITCH SET TO STEREO

Mono Bridge Operation

The two internal power amplifiers(CHA and CHB) can be bridged together to form a single , higher-powered amp. This is especially useful when using the amplifier to power a subwoofer. In the mon o mode, the amplifier uses the channel 1 input jacks and sensitivity control(channel 2’s are disabled). When operating in this mode, each channel is independently protected. The signal smart switch must be set to the bridge position and the minimum speaker load impedance must be 8 ohms.
