Each model is designed to produce the subtle details of music, while having the flexibility to meet a variety of installations. For the best sound quality, use Episode® Speakers to complete the system.
CONTENTS
· 1 x EA-DYN-2D-200 or EA-DYN-8D/12D/16D Amplifier · 1 x Detachable 6ft IEC Power Cable · 2 x Mounting Ears for Amplifier · 4 x Removable Feet · 1 x Installation Manual
FEATURES
DURABLE AUDIOPHILE DESIGN These Episode Amplifiers use the latest digital technology to deliver cool-running performance from a compact, reliable package which uses minimal rack space. Plus, they feature superior quality components for outstanding sound quality and are up to 90% more efficient than conventional analog designs.
MULTIPLE STAGES OF PROTECTION Each pair of channels (or Zone) is individually protected with an operation mode indicated by bi-color LEDs on the front and rear of the amplifier. These enable simple troubleshooting. If the circuitry determines that a channel must be shut down for protection due to a short, only the channels that are affected will be turned off. The other zones will continue to play.
GLOBAL A & B AND DIRECT INPUTS A dedicated input can be assigned to a pair of channels via the channel Line In connection. Each pair of channels can also be configured to play common signals from the global input. When using the global connections, odd-numbered channels will receive the right channel, and the even-numbered channels will receive the left channel. This is further indicated by the color of the channel Line In jacks (odd numbers have white jacks and even numbers have red jacks). A switch is available for each channel pair to choose between the line-in and the 3 Global-Inputs. This provides unparalleled flexibility that is needed for today’s demanding custom audio installations.
INDIVIDUAL CHANNEL AND GAIN ADJUSTMENTS Each pair of channels has its own level adjustment which adjusts the output gain for each zone. This allows the output volume to be balanced in each area. It can also serve to provide a limit on how loud each speaker may be allowed to play. Be sure to set the volume at a level that does not clip or cause distortion when the volume is at the maximum level. This can cause damage to the speakers and the amplifier.
INSTALLATION-FRIENDLY CONNECTIONS Each pair of speaker outputs feature a removable speaker wire connector that accommodates up to 14 gauge stranded speaker wire. The power cord is removable as well, facilitating fast and simple installations. The Global Inputs, Loop Output, and individual Channel Inputs are all high-quality RCA connectors.
BRIDGING The power output of adjacent channels can be combined to provide extra power when needed in certain areas. This is easily accomplished by flipping a single switch. Maintain an 8 ohm minimum when using bridge mode.
SUB OUT Crossover for the low level Sub Out RCA feature loop out is at 200Hz. This allows for a 2.1 system in every room using a Dynamic Series Amplifier.
RACK-MOUNTABLE Each Episode amplifier includes an accessory package of rack ears that may be attached to the amplifier. The amplifier feet can be easily removed for clean rack mounting. The amplifier chassis and rack ears are NOT designed to support anything other than the amplifier. DO NOT stack components on top of the amplifier, as it could damage the amplifier’s chassis.

POSITIONING YOUR EPISODE AMPLIFIER
Episode amplifiers are designed to help deliver a great audio experience that makes your music come alive for years to come. However, where you place the amplifier can have a large effect on the performance that you receive and the life of the unit. · Be sure that the unit is in a well-ventilated area that provides adequate cooling. · Do not block the cooling vents located on both sides of the unit. · Do not place the unit on carpeting or any similar material. · Do not install the unit near a source of heat, or in an extremely humid or wet location. · If your installation lacks good air flow (such as solid cabinet doors or wall-mounted racks), it may be necessary
to create ventilation to allow outside air into the space. · Allow a minimum of 3 inches of free air space on either side of the unit. (Does not apply to rack mounting).
INSTALLATION
GETTING CONNECTED CAUTION: All connections and switching must be done with the amplifier’s power switch positioned to `Off’. Connect the power cord last to ensure that the amplifier is off during all of your connections and set up.
INPUTS For line level connections, use high-quality RCA cables that feature low impedance, shielding and high-quality connectors.
SPEAKER OUTPUTS Use 14-18 gauge stranded two-conductor loudspeaker wire for all high level connections. At each loudspeaker-level connection, ensure that at least 2 inches of each conductor are separated. Strip away 1/4 inch of insulation from each conductor. Connect the appropriate conductor to the speaker connection, observing correct polarity. Bridged Speaker Outputs Use the positive connection from the right channel and the negative connection from the left channel to bridge the speaker output for each zone. This in turn creates a single speaker (mono output) using only the input signal from the left RCA in the corresponding zone labeled “Bridge”. The Bridge Selector switch must be set to “Bridge”.

SUB OUT
When adding a sub to one or many zones, use a mono RCA cable to plug into either a subwoofer amplifier or a powered in room subwoofer. The Sub out is a summation of the zones source input and is crossed over at 200Hz. To further adjust the crossover for a given zone, use the crossover adjustment on the subwoofers power source.

VERIFYING PHASE
When proper polarity is not maintained, the speakers play at the opposite `time’ from each other, or out of phase. The result is audio with lack of bass and vocals that sound thin or distant. If during or after calibrating your receiver you suspect the sound is not right and you cannot see any markings on the wire to verify polarity is correct, try this simple test: 1. Sit in the normal listening position for the system. 2. Play some music with your receiver set to Mono. Listen to the music and observe the audio. Does the bass
sound full and even with the other audio? Do the vocals sound centered and even in volume? 3. If any of the answers are NO, follow steps 4 and 5. 4. Turn off your receiver and reverse the connections for one of the speakers. 5. Repeat your test at the same volume level. When the sound has the loudest and best sounding bass, and
vocals are centered and clear, your connections are correct and in-phase.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Episode amplifiers are designed to function trouble-free. Most problems that occur are due to simple issues. If having trouble, check the list of simple fixes below. If the problem persists, contact Episode technical support at 866-838-5052.
