FRONT PANEL
1. Mains Power Switch
When pressing the switch, the soft start circuit run for avoiding surge strike. In about 3-4 seconds, there will be a clicking denote
that soft start finished. 1-2 seconds later, there will be another “clicking”, the amplifier is connected with speaker and ready to work.
2. CH-1/CH-2 Input level control
Adjust it to get the volume desired. Use CH-1 control only while amplifier is set in Bridge or Parallel mode.
3. Ch-1/Ch-2 Protection Indicating LED
This red LED will light up when the amplifier is running un-stable or went in to the thermal protection
after the power elements temperature over 90 degrees.
4. Clip LED
Turns on just before the maximum, distortion free, output level of the amplifier. The clip leds may turn on shortly
from time to time but they may certainly not turn on for longer periods. In this case you have to turn the output level down.
5. Signal LED
The green signal led indicates that a music signal is present at this channel input.
6. Stereo Mode Indicating LED
These green LED will light up while the input signal is connected, the amplifier is working under stereo mode.
7. Parallel Mode Indicating LED
Indicate that the amplifier is working under parallel mode, the indicator is lighten, input signal only acts on CH-1
8. Bridge Mode Indicating LED
Indicate the amplifier is working under Bridge mode, the indicator is lighten, and the input signal only acts on CH-1
BACK PANEL
1. CH-1/Ch-2 input XLR Combi XLR ¼” Jack
Standard XLR jack, below is the connection method;
Pin 1: signal ground, Pin 2: signal+, Pin 3: Signal-
2. CH-1/CH-2 Signal Link Output
Standard XLR (male) socket for input signal link, its pins parallel connected with the female XLR socket
so you can feed the same signal to another amplifier. Pin 1: signal ground, Pin 2: signal+, Pin 3: signal-
3. Mode1/ mode 2
Two limiter mode.
4. CH1-1/CH-2 35Hz HPF
The low cute filter cuts all undesired frequencies below 35Hz. Protecting woofers against excessive swings.
5. Output Mode Set Switch
Select the run mode as STEREO or BRIDGE or PARALLEL
6. CH-1/CH-2 SUB Processor
Controls the amount of low band signal, produced by the bass processor, from zero to maximum.
The setting depends on the application and can be adapted to your own taste.
