You endanger your own and the safety of others!
  • Never install the amplifier next to highly sensitive devices like pre-amplifiers or tape decks, as the strong magnetic field of the amplifier can produce hum in these devices. The magnetic field is strongest directly above or below the amplifier. If a rack is used, the amplifier should be installed at the bottom and the highly sensitive devices at the top.

Commercial Use

  • Operating an amplification system in public or industrial areas, a series of safety instructions have to be followed. The operator must therefore inform himself on the current safety instructions and consider them.

Setup

  • Operate the device only after having familiarized with its functions. Do not permit operation by persons not qualified for operating the device. Most damages are the result of unprofessional operation!
  • Before the unit is switched on all faders and volume controls have to be set to zero or minimum position. Turn the amplifier on last and off first! Only connect the device when the power switch is off. Never connect output to output. Never connect the inputs or outputs to any power source (batteries, etc.)

Cleaning and Service

  • Disconnect from mains before cleaning! Never use solvents or aggressive detergents in order to clean the device! Rather use a soft and damp cloth.
  • There are no serviceable parts inside the device except for the fuse. Maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by authorized dealers! Should you need any spare parts, please use genuine parts.

Modifications and Guarantee

  • Never remove the serial barcode from the device as this would make the guarantee void.
  • Please consider that unauthorized modifications on the speaker system are forbidden due to safety reasons!
  • If this device will be operated in any way different to the one described in this manual, the product may suffer damages and the guarantee becomes void. Furthermore, any other operation may lead to dangers like short-circuit, burns, electric shock, etc.

Maximum Power

  • The given maximum power of the speaker system describes short-term peaks the system can handle as a maximum. The correspondent RMS power is – as of all comparable systems (also from other manufacturers) – significantly lower. The maximum power of the speaker system must never be exceeded. When operating the speaker system, please make sure that the loudspeakers always sound well. When distortions can be heard, either the amplifier or the loudspeaker is overloaded. Overloads can quickly lead to amplifier or speaker damage. In order to avoid damage, please reduce the volume immediately when distortions can be heard. When speaker systems are destroyed by overload, the guarantee becomes void.

Intended Use

The stereo mixing amplifier is suitable for general professional PA applications and was designed for indoor use only.

Setup

Setting up the amplifier

Set up the amplifier on an even, solid surface. In order to ensure sufficient cooling, air must always be able to flow freely through all air vents. Steady overheating will damage the amplifier.

Making the connections

  1. Four audio units with line level (e.g. CD player, tuner, mixer) can be connected to the stereo RCA jacks LINE INPUT 1 to 4. Always connect the left channel to the white jack and the right channel to the red jack.

  2. An additional audio unit with line level can be connected to the 3.5 mm jack on the front panel (e.g. MP3 player, smartphone notebook). The audio player will be muted when this jack is connected.

  3. Use the MIC IN jack to connect a dynamic microphone via an XLR or 6.3 mm jack plug.

  4. In stereo mode, the amplifier can operate two speakers or two speaker groups. The amplifier is able to deliver 2 x 460 watts for 4 Ω speakers and 2 x 240 watts for 8 Ω speakers. Use the red terminals (positive contact) and black terminals (negative contact) for connecting the speakers.
    For double output power it is possible to switch over to bridge mode and operate one speaker or one speaker group. In this case, use the two red terminals for the connection.
    Always use sufficiently dimensioned cables (min. 2.5 mm²). When interconnecting several speakers, it is especially important to consider the correct connection to positive and negative contacts and that the minimum total impedance is 4 Ω for stereo and 8 Ω for bridge operation. Please refer to skilled personnel if you are not familiar with the connection of several speakers.

  5. Alternatively, it is possible to operate one 100V PA speaker or speaker group with 260 watts. In this case, use the two red terminals for the connection.

  6. For connection to units with line level (e.g. recording unit or additional amplifier) the stereo RCA output OUTPUT can be used.

  7. Finally connect the amplifier to a mains outlet (230 V AC, 50 Hz ~) with the mains cable.

To prevent loud switching noise, always switch on all other units before switching on the amplifier. After operation, switch off the power amplifier first. Prior to switching on set the level controls to the left stop position.

  1. Select the operating mode with the MODE selector switch: STR = stereo mode or BRGD = bridge mode or 100 V mode.
  2. Then switch on the amplifier with the power switch. The blue power indicator lights up.
  3. Use the INPUT SELECT switch to select signal source and adjust the desired volume with the LEVEL control. Adjust the sound with the LOW and HIGH controls.
  4. Mix the microphone signal to the master signal with the MIC LEVEL control
  5. After operation, switch off the amplifier with the power switch. The power indicator goes off.

Audio player

The built-in audio player plays titles in MP3, WMA and WAV format from USB devices and SD(HC) memory cards. Make sure the 3.5 mm jack is not connected; otherwise the audio player will be muted.

  1. Set the INPUT SELECT switch to the AUX 5 position to assign the signal of the audio player to the master signal.
  2. Insert a USB device into the USB port and/or a memory card into the card slot (notched corner to the left).
  3. After loading a data carrier, it is selected as the playback medium and the playback will start automatically. The display indicates the playback source and the elapsed time of the current title in minutes and seconds.
  4. Shortly press the [MODE] button to switch between the data carriers and Bluetooth operation.
  5. By long actuation of the buttons [VOL‒/ ] and [VOL+/ ] you can adjust the internal volume of the audio player. There are 30 steps available (indication “U01-U30“).
  6. To interrupt the playback, press the button [ ]. The display indicates . To start the playback again, press the button once again.
  7. By short actuation of the buttons [VOL‒/ ] and [VOL+/ ] you can skip titles in forward or backward direction.
  8. To remove a USB device, disconnect it from the USB port. To eject a memory card, slightly press it into the slot until it comes out and can be removed. Prior to removing a device, always terminate the playback with the [ ] button. Otherwise damage or loss of data may occur.

Setting up a Bluetooth connection with mobile devices

The audio player features a Bluetooth receiver allowing you to stream music wirelessly from your mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and notebooks.

  1. Press the [ MODE ] button (repeatedly) until the display indicates “ bLUE “ and a beep sounds. The audio player will enter the pairing mode.
  2. Activate the Bluetooth function at the Bluetooth source. The DJP-900P is indicated by “ BLUETOOTH “ on the display of the Bluetooth source. Pair the devices with each other.
  3. Now play music at the Bluetooth source as you normally would and the sound will come out of the amplifier.
  4. The Bluetooth source may also be operated via the audio player. To interrupt or continue the playback, press the button [ ].With the buttons [ ] and [ ] you can skip titles in forward or backward direction.

Protective circuits

The integrated protective circuits prevent damage to the speakers and the amplifier. To prevent distortions in case overload, the integrated level limiter reduces the input signal if the limit level is reached at the output. If one of the other protective circuits is activated, the speakers are electrically separated from the amplifier:

  • for a few seconds after switching-on until the speaker outputs are ready for operation
  • in case of overheating of the amplifier
  • in case of overload of the amplifier
  • in case of DC voltage at a speaker output
  • in case of a short-circuit at a speaker output

If the speakers are switched off during operation or if they are not ready for operation after switching on, the amplifier has to be switched off and the cause of the fault has to be removed.

Cleaning and Maintenance

  1. DANGER TO LIFE! Disconnect from mains before starting maintenance operation! Please use a soft lint-free and moistened cloth. Never use alcohol or solvents!
  2. There are no serviceable parts inside the device. Maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by authorized dealers.
  3. Should you need any spare parts, please use genuine parts. If the power supply cable of this device becomes damaged, it has to be replaced by a special power supply cable available at your dealer. Should you have further questions, please contact your dealer.
