OPERATION & PERFORMANCE
OPERATION & PERFORMANCE
SUPERB CLARITY WITH C.R.I.S.T.A.L.® AUDIOPHILE TECHNOLOGY
All GECKO® GENESIS ELEGANCE Series amplifiers use refined multi-stage C.R.I.S.T.A.L.® Audiophile
Class-H technology for precise audio reproduction (step-up from previous 3-tier C.R.I.S.T.A.L.® Audiophile
Class H design). The new multi-stage C.R.I.S.T.A.L.® Audiophile Class-H technology allows wider frequency
bandwidth to be processed in numerous bands of “frequency cells” more efficiently while maintaining the
desired RC time constants. The result – superb audiophile clarity and an energy efficient system with lots of
headroom.
THERMAL PROTECTION WITH ULTRA QUIET COOLING (UQC) SYSTEM
All GECKO® GENESIS ELEGANCE Series amplifiers use forced-air cooling system to maintain a low, even
operating temperature. rawn in by dual 45 cubic feet-per-minute (CFM) fans, cool air flows through the front
cooling vents, then exhausts through the evenly-layout copper heat sinks (dissipating power transistor heat)
located at the rear vents. The “intelligent” variable-speed C fans are controlled by Ultra Quiet Cooling
(UQC) heat sink temperature-sensing circuits. When the amplifier is turned on, the fans briefly “rev up” for
approximately 6 seconds, then slow to an idle; this indicates that the temperature sensing circuits are
operating normally. The fan speed increases only as required by heat sink temperatures, keeping fan noise
to a minimum. Under extreme thermal load, the fans will force a very large volume of air through the heat
sinks. If the heat sinks surpass the maximum allowed temperature, the Ultra Quiet Cooling (UQC) sensing
circuit will open the output relay, disconnecting the load from that channel (TEM LE indicator illuminates). If
the power transformer overheats, another Ultra Quiet Cooling (UQC) sensing circuit opens both channel
output relays until the transformer cools to a safe temperature.
SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION WITH IMPEDANCE SENSING CIRCUITRY (ISC)
If an output is shorted (i.e. defective speakers or crossed speaker wires) the Impedance Sensing Circuitry
(ISC) and thermal circuits will automatically protect the amplifier. The ISC circuit senses the short circuit as
an extremely stressful load condition and attenuates the signal, protecting the channel’s output transistors
from over-current stress. If the short circuit remains, the load will be disconnected by the thermal protection
circuitry (output relay opens). PRO LE indicator illuminates.
DC VOLTAGE PROTECTION
If an amplifier channel detects C voltage at its output terminals, the output relay will immediately open to
prevent speaker damage. PRO LE indicator illuminates.
CLIP PROTECTION WITH VOLTAGE PEAK LIMITER (VPL)
The Voltage Peak Limiter (VPL) provides optimum peak voltage settings for each channel automatically. At
the amplifier’s full power limit, or clipping point, VPL will be activated. This is indicated by illumination of the
VPL / CLIP LE . The channel gain is automatically reduced, protecting the speakers from potential damage
from the high power, continuous square waves that would otherwise be produced. The circuit is virtually
transparent in operation and full signal bandwidth is maintained.

SOFT START CIRCUITRY (SSC)
Soft Start Circuitry (SSC) operates every time the amplifier is switched on or is reactivated after a protect
condition is corrected. The SSC gradually increases gain to the attenuators' setting avoiding unnecessary
stress on the speakers. PRO LE indicator illuminates.
VERY HIGH FREQUENCY (VHF) PROTECTION
If a signal of more than 12kHz, at full power is detected for more than five seconds, the VHF protection circuit
mutes the output signal (VHF LE indicator illuminates). After five seconds the outputs will un-mute and
return to normal operation (VHF LE indicator light goes off), unless the output signal has remained
unchanged, in which case the VHF protection will reinitiate.
CURRENT PEAK LIMITER (CPL)
When active, Current Peak Limiter (CPL) is to regulate amplifier’s output current so that it does not exceed
the safe current handling parameters of amplifier components.

MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
Under normal use the amplifier should provide years of trouble-free service. The only maintenance required
by the user is to clean the front air cooling vents and filters periodically. In some extreme cases, it may be
necessary for authorized service personnel to clean the inside of the amplifier. These conditions usually
occur after prolonged use, e.g. in environments using "cracked-oil" smoke machines. If you are using your
amplifier for heavy duty use, i.e. concert touring or industrial music, it is recommended that you have your
amplifier serviced at every 12 months interval, purely as a preventative measure.
AIR COOLING VENTS & FILTERS CLEANING
AIR COOLING VENTS & FILTERS CLEANING
Step 1: Check that your amplifier is switched off. Clean the front air cooling vents using a vacuum cleaner.
Step 2: Turn the “quick-release” screws in counter-clockwise direction to unfasten.
Step 3: Remove both the air cooling vents from their respective slot.
Step 4: Remove the dust-filters. Clean them by soaking them in clean water mixed with mild soap and air
dry.
Step 5: Put each of the cleaned dust-filter back to its respective slot. Reverse Step 3 and 2 to secure.

MAKING CONNECTIONS
MAKING CONNECTIONS
The GECKO® GENESIS ELEGANCE C.R.I.S.T.A.L.® Audiophile Class-H power amplifiers are designed
and conceived for audiophile recording and mastering studios, audiophile live sound reinforcement, as well
as for home audiophile applications. Refer to the following operating precautions and recommendations for
best results.
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
1. Before connecting the amplifier to speakers and audio devices (i.e. mixing console, equalizers,
dynamic processors) be sure that all devices are switched off. Also be sure that both of the
amplifier's CHANNEL A and CHANNEL B attenuators are set all the way down to “-inf”;
2. Make connections using only quality audiophile signal cables (e.g. GECKO® TRUTH T3AL),
audiophile speaker cables (e.g. GECKO® TRUTH T2), and connectors (e.g. GECKO® OLYMPIAN
Series connectors) according to your requirements;
3. To avoid causing damage to speakers, power up the devices in the following order: Peripheral
devices → mixing console → power amplifiers (or powered speakers). When shutting the system
down, turn off the power in the reverse order: Power amplifiers (powered speakers) → mixing
console → peripheral devices.

INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING
INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING
MOUNTING
MOUNTING
The GECKO® GENESIS ELEGANCE C.R.I.S.T.A.L.® Audiophile Class-H power amplifiers are 2U standard
rack space units. All mountable in standard 19” rack. 4 front-panel mounting points and 4 rear-panel
mounting points with M3 thread size are provided on each amplifier. Rear mounting gives additional support,
and the use of rear support is highly recommended in all mobile and touring sound systems.
COOLING
COOLING
The amplifier uses a forced-air cooling system with air flow from front to rear, maintaining a low operating
temperature within defined limits. Front-to-rear air-flow is preferred as cooler air is present at the front in
nearly all applications (this allows higher continuous power levels without encountering thermal problems).
Never attempt to reverse the air flow. The amplifier modules require a pressure chamber between the fans
and heatsink, and this effect functions only in one direction.
Make sure that there is an adequate air supply in front of the amplifier, and that the rear of the amplifier has
sufficient space to allow the exhaust to escape. If the amplifier is rack-mounted, do not use covers or doors
on the front or rear of the rack when it is in operation.
Always make sure that the dust-filters behind the detachable front panel air cooling vents are clean to ensure
maximum possible air flow.
OPERATING VOLTAGE
OPERATING VOLTAGE
The label print above the mains cable on the rear of the amplifier indicates the AC mains voltage for which
the amplifier is wired and approved: 110V or 240V. Connect the power cable only to the AC source type
referred to on the print. The warranty will not cover damage caused by connecting to an incorrect type of AC
mains.
Once a suitable AC supply is connected, the amplifier can be turned on using the front panel power switch.
The amplifier then goes through a soft-start sequence as it self-checks its circuits. The fans will blow at high
speed before dropping to idle, and the “PWR” LE will illuminate.
Inrush power is controlled and limited during “soft-start”, enabling multiple amplifiers to be powered up
simultaneously.
