3. FRONT PANEL FEATURES
1. LED INDICATORS
PROT
This LED is on when the amplier is in protection mode.
This can occur if the volume is too high for long periods, or
if heavy loads, a speaker defect, or poor ventilation cause
the amplier to overheat. If this light comes on, turn down
your input signal to avoid over-working the amplier, and
check your speakers and wiring for defects. Check that the
amplier is also receiving good ventilation.
SIGNAL
This LED is on when an input signal is present.
PEAK
This LED comes on when the input signal is high and the
maximum output is reached. Turn down the input signal if
this LED comes on often.
2. LED METER
This meter shows the signal output level.
The lower eight LEDs represent the area between –20 dB
and 0 dB. Adjust the volume to keep your output within
these levels.
Turn down the volume level so the top two LEDs do not
light, otherwise the outgoing signal will clip and distort.
3. POWER
Use this rocker switch to turn the unit on or off. This
connects/disconnects the AC power to the AC power
transformer.
The amplier is on when the top of the switch is pressed
in. It is off when the bottom of the switch is pressed in.

4. REAR PANEL FEATURES
4. COOLING FAN
These vents should not be obstructed, or this may
cause overheating.
5. VOLTAGE CONVERSION
The unit can be congured to operate at 115 VAC or 230 VAC.
Be sure this switch is set to the correct position for
the AC power supply being used, before plugging in
the power cord. The switch can be moved with a small at
screwdriver, once the protective cover is removed. Replace
the cover afterwards.
6. IEC AC INPUT
The supplied power cord connects here. Check that
the voltage setting of the VOLTAGE CONVERSION (5)
switch is the same as your local AC Mains voltage before
plugging in the power cord. Make sure that your local AC
Mains is capable of supplying adequate current, and has a
protective earthing connection.
7. AC FUSE
The fuse resides inside a little cover just below the AC
input.
Make sure that the power cord is unplugged before
removing the AC fuse. When you are sure that all is
safe, pry off the fuse cover with a at screwdriver, taking
care not to damage the cover or fuse. Replace the fuse only
with the same type and rating as marked on your unit.
8. GROUND (EARTH) SCREW
The chassis connects to ground via the AC ground, and
normally does not need any extra ground connection.
Connections, if required, should be made by experienced,
qualied electricians.
9. DC POWER SWITCH
If this switch is pressed in, the unit will automatically
switch to external DC battery power whenever (or if-ever)
your local AC power fails. You will need to connect an
external 24-volt battery to the DC battery terminals (11).
If the switch is out, the battery will not power up the unit.
10. DC FUSE
The DC fuse resides inside this fuseholder. The fuse offers
protection to the DC rail supply to the power amplier.
Make sure that the AC supply is turned off before
removing the fuse. When you are sure that all is safe,
press in the fuse cover and turn it counter-clockwise.
Replace the fuse only with the same type and rating as
marked on your unit.
11. DC BATTERY TERMINALS
These two screw terminals are used to connect an optional
external 24 VDC battery.
Make absolutely sure
the positive post of your
battery goes to the positive
terminal, and the negative
post connects to the negative
terminal. To minimize the
voltage drop across the wires
and prevent overheating, use at
least 14 AWG wire.
The unit can be powered using a 24 VDC power supply
(if the rear panel DC POWER SWITCH is pressed in). This
serves as a backup supply in case of an AC power failure.
The unit seamlessly switches to the backup supply if
there's a power loss, allowing safety instructions and
emergency communications to continue. When both AC
power and 24 VDC power are connected, the AC power is
used and no current is drawn from the DC supply.
Note: The unit will not charge the battery, so you
should have a dedicated charging system. Note also,
that when running on DC power, the output is lower than
when running on AC power.

OUTPUT TERMINALS (12 and 13):
This terminal block is normally covered by a protective
cover. Remove the two screws and the cover while making
or undoing connections. Securely ret the cover when you
have nished making the connections.
The ve output terminals are labeled COM, 4 Ω, COM,
70 V, and 100 V.
12. LOW IMPEDANCE
To connect a speaker directly,
connect the COM terminal
to the negative post of your
speaker, and connect the 4 Ω
terminal to the positive post.
Make sure that your average
speaker impedance is not
less than 4 Ω, as this may
overload the amplier.
The speaker output connectors are screw terminals. Use
16 or 18 gauge wire for connecting the amplier outputs to
the speakers. Strip the wire back about 3/8" inch, loosen
the screw enough to loop the wire around the shaft of
the screw (clockwise), and tighten down the screw with a
screwdriver.
13. CONSTANT VOLTAGE
If you are using a constant-voltage distributed speaker
system, connect either the 70 V, or 100 V output terminal to
the "+" side of the speaker system, and connect the "COM"
output terminal to the "–" side of the speaker system.
Each speaker must be equipped with a line transformer
with an input voltage equal to that of the line (70 V or
100 V).
Make sure that the sum of the power capacities of the
speakers does not exceed 90% of the amplier's rated
output power (216 W).
CAUTION: To prevent the risk of electric shock,
never touch the bare wires coming from the OUTPUT
TERMINALS of the amplier when it is switched on.
When the connections have been made, insulate the
70 V and 100 V terminals of the amplier using the
protective cover supplied.
COM and 70 V are used to connect 70 V speakers.
Use Class I wiring:

14. LEVEL ADJUSTMENT
This control allows you to adjust the input signal level.
15. RCA INPUTS
These unbalanced RCA inputs allow you to connect audio
sources, such as tuner, CD player, DVD audio, tape deck
etc. They accept line-level input signals, and are summed
to mono. This input is suitable for connecting most common
line-level sources. Use high-quality, two-conductor shielded
cable for the connections.
16. COMBINATION INPUTS
These inputs allow you to connect balanced XLR plugs
or 1/4" TRS or TS plugs from line-level sources. The two
inputs are summed to mono.
Use balanced connections where possible (instead of RCA
unbalanced connections), as these offer better rejection of
noise.
Use high-quality, three-conductor shielded cable for
balanced connections. The better the shield, the better the
audio signal is protected from induced EMI and RFI.

5. THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
The power amplier within the unit is fan cooled. Heat is
drawn away from the amplier heatsink by the fan and
exhausted through the cooling vents in the top cover.
When installing, be sure to allow sufcient air space
around the top and rear of the amplier to allow
adequate cooling for the heatsink. Leave at least one
rack space above and below, and at least 6 inches behind
the chassis to allow proper ventilation.
If the amplier should overheat, a thermal switch turns
off the power amplier, allowing the heatsink to cool
down. Once the amplier has cooled to a safe operating
temperature, the thermal switch resets and reactivates
the amplier. If this should occur, identify the cause of the
problem and take corrective action. For example:
• Provide better ventilation
• Install a fan in the rack to move more air
• Make sure the amplier is not overloaded with too
low of a load impedance or by a short circuit on the
speaker line
RACK MOUNTING
The front panel has rack mount holes provided to allow the
unit to be tted within a standard 19" rack.
The unit still needs to be supported underneath, due to the
weight of the power and output transformers.
6. CONNECTIONS
