- Always follow the instructions provided.
- Take note of all safety warnings and never remove them from the equipment.
- Use the equipment only as intended and for its intended purpose.
- Ensure that the stands and/or mounts used are sufficiently stable and compatible for fixed installations. Wall mounts should be properly installed and secured, and the equipment should be installed securely to prevent falls.
- When installing the equipment, be sure to observe the relevant safety regulations in your country.
- Do not install or operate the equipment near sources of heat, such as radiators, heat registers, or ovens, and ensure that it is always cooled sufficiently and cannot overheat.
- Do not place sources of ignition, such as burning candles, on the equipment.
- Keep ventilation slits unobstructed.
- For equipment designed for indoor use only should not be used near water, flammable materials, fluids, or gases. Special outdoor equipment should be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Ensure that no dripping or splashed water can enter the equipment and do not place containers filled with liquids on the equipment.
- Prevent objects from falling into the equipment.
- Use the equipment only with recommended accessories intended by the manufacturer.
- Do not attempt to open or modify the equipment.
- Check all cables after connecting the equipment to prevent accidents or damage due to tripping hazards.
- During transport, take steps to prevent the equipment from falling and causing damage or injury.
- If the equipment is not functioning properly, fluids or objects have gotten inside, or is otherwise damaged, switch it off immediately and unplug it from the power outlet (if applicable). Only authorized, qualified personnel should repair the equipment.
- Clean the equipment with a dry cloth.
- Comply with all applicable disposal laws and separate plastic and paper/cardboard during packaging disposal.
- Keep plastic bags out of the reach of children.
FOR DEVICES DESIGNED TO BE CONNECTED TO THE MAIN POWER SUPPLY:
- ATTENTION : If your equipment has a power cord with a grounding plug, it must be connected to a wall outlet with a ground connection. Never remove the grounding plug from the power cord.
- If your equipment has been exposed to extreme temperature changes, allow it to reach room temperature before turning it on. Otherwise, moisture and condensation may damage the equipment.
- Before plugging in the equipment, make sure that the voltage and frequency of the power outlet match the specifications of the equipment. If the equipment has a voltage selector, only connect it to the power outlet if the values match. If the power cord or adapter does not fit your outlet, contact an electrician.
- Do not step on the power cord. Make sure it is not pinched at the outlet, adapter, or equipment connection.
- Keep the power cord or adapter within reach and disconnect the equipment from the power supply when not in use or when cleaning it. Always unplug the cord or adapter by pulling the plug or adapter, not the cord. Never touch the cord or adapter with wet hands.
- Avoid frequently turning the equipment on and off, as this can reduce its useful life.
- IMPORTANT : Only replace fuses with those of the same type and rating. If a fuse repeatedly blows, contact an authorized service center.
- To completely disconnect the equipment from the power mains, unplug the power cord or adapter from the outlet.
- If your device has a Volex power connector, the mating Volex connector must be unlocked before it can be removed. Be careful when laying cables, as the equipment can slide or fall if the power cord is pulled.
- Unplug the power cord or adapter before an extended period of disuse or in case of lightning strike risk.
- Only install the equipment when it is disconnected from the power source.
- To prevent damage and overheating, qualified personnel should regularly clean and service the equipment depending on ambient conditions like dust, nicotine, and fog. If the product contains the following symbols, please, read carefully:
CAUTION : To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back). There are no user serviceable parts inside. Maintenance and repairs should be exclusively carried out by qualified service personnel. The warning triangle with lightning symbol indicates dangerous uninsulated voltage inside the unit, which may cause an electrical shock. The warning triangle with exclamation mark indicates important operating and maintenance instructions.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
CAUTION! HIGH VOLUMES IN AUDIO PRODUCTS!
This equipment is designed for professional purposes and its commercial use
must comply with the applicable national rules and regulations for accident
prevention. As the manufacturer of this product, Audibax has the
responsibility to inform you about the potential health risks associated with
its use. One such risk is hearing damage caused by prolonged exposure to high
volume. When this product is in use, it can generate high sound-pressure
levels that may cause irreversible hearing damage to performers, employees,
and audience members. To prevent this, it is important to avoid exposing
yourself or others to volumes exceeding 90 dB for an extended period of time.

SPECIFICATIONS
PANEL FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
- Power switch: turns the amplifier on and off.
- Gain adjustment knob: Adjust the gain of each channel. Turning clockwise increases the value, turning counterclockwise decreases the value.
- Status indicator light: LED light indicates the working status.
- CLIP : Lights up when distortion or distortion is detected. When lit, the gain must be reduced.
- SIG : Lights up when signals are normally input to each channel.
- ON : Lights up when the power is turned on.
Rear panel
- AC Power: This is the terminal to which the AC power is connected.
- Speaker output terminal: Speaker output terminal of each channel. It connects via a Speakon connector and can be connected in both stereo and bridge modes.
- Audio input terminal: This is the audio signal input terminal for each channel. Connects via balanced XLR connector.
- LINK output terminal: This terminal links the audio signal of this channel and outputs the same signal to other devices. Connects via balanced XLR connector.
- Amplifier mode switching: BRIDGE MONO and PARALLEL STEREO modes can be selected according to the user’s purpose.
- Cooling fan: cools and discharges air from front to back to prevent internal damage.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

ADVANCED PROTECTION FUNCTIONS
-
Overload protection:
This amplifier series has output current protection function. If the current output by the channel exceeds the peak current, the current is limited to the limit value with the help of a protector inside the device. If the amplifier’s output current exceeds the peak current, the power amplifier will be muted within 1 second and the device will automatically restart once the short circuit condition ceases. -
Over voltage and undervoltage protection:
When the amplifier operating voltage exceeds the maximum allowable voltage or is lower than the minimum voltage, the amplifier power supply will activate the protection mode and cut off the power supply. -
Power control:
This amplifier series supports the power output control function. You can adjust the gain value on the amplifier panel to help the connected speakers operate safely and stabe. -
Overheating protection:
Both the internal temperature and the cooler temperature can be monitored simultaneously, so if the internal temperature of the amplifier exceeds the limit, the output is cut off and the amplifier restarts after the temperature drops to a safe range.
ADVANCED PROTECTION FUNCTIONS
-
STEREO MODE: Stereo mode is the most common setup in which each channel of the amplifier operates independently. Each input signal is output to each channel
-
PARALLEL MODE: Parallel mode is a mode that can output two channels with one input signal. It can be used only by connecting to the input terminal of Ch1.
-
BRIDGE MODE: Bridge Mode is a mode that produces higher output by using the channels of two amplifiers as one. Connect to the input terminal of Ch1.
