FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
-
STANDBY ON / OFF POWER BUTTON
Press this button to turn ON your appliance, power is supplied to your unit and it becomes operational, and the STANDBY button’s light becomes white. (The main power switch is located on the back panel and must be ON to use the STANDBY function).
When set to STANDBY OFF, the main power is cut off and the unit is no longer fully operational except for the microcontroller. The standby indicator’s light becomes red. -
SOURCE INDICATORS
Those leds indicate the selected source. -
HIGH BIAS INDICATORS
Led lights up when High Bias is ON -
PROTECTION INDICATORS
Led lights up when protection is ON -
SPEAKER A/B/A+B/OFF’INDICATORS
Led lights up when speaker A/B/A+B//OFF is selected
REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS
-
INPUTS
You can connect your stereo sources to this input. This input is suitable for any line-level source equipment such as tuners, CD players, DVDs, MP3 players, etc.
Note: This input is only for analog audio signals. It should not be connected to the digital output of a CD player or any other digital device. -
SPEAKER TERMINALS
SPEAKERS A: Connect speakers with an impedance of 4 Ohms or greater. Connect the right speaker to the terminals marked ‘R +’ and ‘R-‘ ensuring that the ‘R+’ is connected to the ‘+’ terminal on your loudspeaker and the ‘R-‘ is connected to the loudspeaker’s ‘-‘ terminal. Connect the terminals marked ‘L+’ and ‘L-‘ to the left speaker in the same way. When using both SPEAKERS A and SPEAKERS B connect speakers of impedance 8 Ohms or greater. -
SPEAKERS B: use the same method to connect the B pair.
The high-current binding post terminals can be used as a screw terminal for cables terminating in spade or pin connectors or for cables with bare wire ends. -
SPADE CONNECTORS
These should be slotted under the terminal’s screw bushing, which is then fully tightened. Ensure the connector is tightly secured and there is no danger of bare metal from spade connectors touching the back panel or another connector as this may cause damage. -
BARE WIRES AND PIN CONNECTORS
Bare wires and pin connectors should be inserted into the hole in the shaft of the terminal. Unscrew the speaker terminal’s plastic bushing until the hole in the screw shaft is revealed. Insert the pin or bare cable end into the hole and secure the cable by tightening down the terminal’s bushing. -
BANANA CONNECTORS
You also can use banana connectors on the speaker terminal. Avoid any danger of bare metal from the speaker cables touching the back panel or another connector. -
POWER CORD

VOLTAGE SELECTOR
-
GENERAL ON-OFF SWITCH
You need to be sure about the voltage of your country. In case you need to use your appliance in 115V, you need to change the position of the voltage and replace the fuse with the right value indicated on the rear panel. Before plugging in the amplifier, its master power switch must be in the OFF position. -
HIGH BIAS SELECTOR
- By switching the High Bias mode to ON mode, your amplifier will be similar to a Class’A amplifier for the first watts of use.
- In this mode, the temperature of your amplifier will be important, also, there must be enough clear space around the amplifier to permit a free flow of air.

Control trigger to ON/OFF other power amplifiers. -
BALANCED INPUT(XLR TERMINAL)
Connect AV controllers or control amplifiers with balanced outputs for high- quality sound.
Connector ground terminal: Chassis grounded
The pin assignments for this terminal are given above. The amplifier uses the
European-type XLR terminal. Phase is reversed when an XLR cable is connected
to the control amplifier that uses the USA-type XLR terminal. In this case,
swap pin 2 and pin 3 to set the polarity to the European type before
connecting.
