Instructions for installation
After you have checked the contents of the package and once you are familiar with the control
elements and ports, you can proceed with installation of the Smallwonder Amp. First of all, however,
make sure to carefully read through this part of the installation guide.
This guide does not give instructions on how to install speakers; when guiding you along the process
of installing the Smallwonder Amp, we assume that the device is already equipped with properly
working speakers.
Caution! Only when all installation work has been completed, must the operating voltage be switched
on. Do not remove any cables or connectors during operation.
Step 1: Selection of the installation location
Select a suitable location for the installation of the Smallwonder Amp amplifier. The location should
be large enough and cool enough, not damp, well ventilated and easily accessible for maintenance
and repair.
The installation site must be chosen to ensure that overheating of the Smallwonder Amp is
prevented. Similarly, at low installation height (e.g. 19 mm), adequate ventilation or cooling is to be
ensured. In the event of overheating, the amplifier will turn off as a matter of precaution (see chapter
on protection mechanisms).
Likewise, the location should be chosen in a way that the maximum cable length does not, if possible,
exceed 3 m. Cables longer than 3 m may cause loss of power. For longer distances, cables with a
larger diameter must be used.
Step 2: Mounting the amplifier
Fix the amplifier with at least 4 screws at the mounting location. If desired, make sure that the amplifier
is within reach of the IR remote control.
Step 3: Installation and connection of power supply (alternatively battery operation)
Install the power supply required for operation and observe the safety regulations that ought to be
applied. Connection of permanently energized electrical cables and lines of 230 volts is to be carried
out by trained and authorized personnel only. An alternative for use in vehicles may be a 12 or 24 volt
battery.
Connect the amplifier to the terminals of the power supply/battery. Pay attention to the cables correct
polarity. Use the power cord included in the delivery. Do not turn on the power supply yet and do not
connect the amplifier to the battery.
Step 4: Connecting the speakers
The next step is to connect the preferred speakers or surface acoustic speakers.
You can choose between a stereo jack (standard with conventional speakers) and a mono jack
(usually the better alternative when using surface acoustic speakers).
Mono operation

Operating Manual Smallwonder Amp 2X60(C)
Page: 10
Mono operation is a proper mode if only one speaker or surface acoustic speaker is to be operated.
The two "+" channels and the two "-" channels are bridged according to the circuit diagram as
illustrated above. In addition, the DIP 9 switch must be set to "off". In mono operation, the speaker’s
maximum power is 120W. The speaker selected has to have an impedance of 4 - 8 Ω.
Stereo operation
The stereo mode is applied when two speakers are to be connected. The connection corresponds to
the above diagram. In addition, the DIP 9 switch must be set to "On". In stereo mode, the speakers
can be used with a maximum output of 2 x 60W. The selected speakers have an impedance of 4 - 8
Ω.
Step 5: Connecting the sense line (only if necessary)
Connect the sense line (for example, ignition in the car). Depending on the configuration, the
Configurator software or DIP switch, the Smallwonder Amp can automatically be switched on and off.
Step 6: Connecting an external IR receiver (only if necessary)
If the installation location is hidden and you want to work with the IR remote control, connect the
external IR receiver (article SWA items IRE). Afterwards, install it at the desired location.
Step 7: Connecting an external Bluetooth pairing key (only if necessary)
If you want to work with the external Bluetooth pairing key (article SWA-BPT), it is now possible to
connect and install it at the desired location.
Step 8: Finishing works
Check all connections once again. Cables should be secured with suitable material. In particular, when
using surface acoustic speakers, it is important that no cables or other parts come into to contact with
the vibrating surface without previously having been fixed.
Step 9: Switching on
Connect the power supply to the 230 volt mains or connect the battery. The amplifier automatically
turns on and is now in standby mode. Activate the Smallwonder Amp amplifier by using the remote
control. For a first test, connect to a signal source via cable or Bluetooth. Adjust the volume to your
liking by remote control or via the key situated on the front panel of the amplifier.
You can now make all the desired settings by using the remote control or via Configurator software.
The installation work has been completed. We hope you enjoy using the Smallwonder amplifier.

Functional descriptions
The following section describes the different functions of the Smallwonder Amp. You will only
occasionally need very a few of these functions. Nevertheless, please read the functional descriptions
carefully. This way, you can make sure that you are familiar with all possible functions of your
amplifier.
Power on/off
The Smallwonder Amp switches on automatically when powered from the AC adapter or battery.
After only a few seconds it is detected by devices featuring Bluetooth and can play music via the
internal inputs. In order to switch it off, all you need to do is to cut the supply voltage by, for example,
using a switchable outlet socket.
Standby mode
In standby mode, the Smallwonder Amp has extremely low power consumption. This mode can be
set up in three different ways:
1. The Smallwonder Amp is set to standby via remote control.
2. The Smallwonder Amp automatically switches to standby mode as soon as the audio
signal is not detected any longer (via Bluetooth or AUX inputs). Once it detects a signal
again, the Smallwonder Amp automatically "awakes" from standby mode.
3. If the sense input is connected, the Smallwonder Amp "awakes" from stand mode as
soon as this input is supplied with voltage. If there is no voltage, the amplifier is set back
to standby mode. This mode, for example, can be used when the amplifier is to be
installed in a car (ignition on →amplifier on).
The standby mode is indicated by the red LED at the of the Smallwonder Amps front panel. The
display can also be turned off completely by using the key combination [F] + [7] + [2] + [Off]. The LED
is turned back to standby mode by entering the combination [F] + [7] + [2] + [On].
Bluetooth pairing
Bluetooth devices such as smartphones, tablets and MP3 player can be connected to the
Smallwonder Amp in four different ways. Please note that it is possible to hook up only one device at
a time to the Smallwonder Amp.
Simple pairing
This method is preferably used in the private sector. The connection with the Smallwonder
Amp directly is set directly via the Bluetooth device. The procedure may slightly vary
depending on the manufacturer and the model employed.
Please follow the following instructions (which generally apply to most of the devices):

Operating Manual Smallwonder Amp 2X60(C)
Page: 12
1. Switch on the Smallwonder Amp.
2. Switch on the device’s (e.g. Smartphone) Bluetooth function (usually to be found
under the device’s setting).
3. Scan for other available Bluetooth devices.
4. The Smallwonder Amp will be listed with the ID „Smallwonder“. Tick the ID in order
to connect. Some manufacturers require another second tick to establish a
connection. The ID "Smallwonder" can be changed according to the user’s wishes
via the Configurator software.
5. You have now successfully established a connection to the Smallwonder Amp. Now,
please open a music file that is saved on the device. Playback is carried out
automatically via the Smallwonder Amp.
Pairing via confirmation by using a push button
This type of Bluetooth pairing is perfect for locations that are highly frequented or which for
other reasons should authorize only certain individuals or a group to get access to the
Smallwonder Amp (e.g. hotel rooms or ship cabins).
To ensure this, a push button is installed at a location that cannot be publicly accessed. Only
authorized personnel are able to access the push button in order to establish pairing with the
Smallwonder Amp within a period of 180 seconds (3 minutes). Pairing is only possible within
the next 3 minutes after having pressed the key!
Pairing with confirmation via IR remote control
With this type of pairing, a connection to the Smallwonder Amp is only possible after having
pressed the remote control’s Bluetooth key for the duration of 180 seconds (3 minutes).
Pairing via PIN code
This method can only be carried via using older cell phone models. The Smallwonder Amp
receives a four-digit, numeric login PIN code via the Configurator software. If a user tries to
establish a connection with the amplifier, he will first be asked to enter the four-digit login PIN
code. If the code is incorrect, the connection will automatically be cut off. It is, however,
possible to start a new pairing afterwards.
Note: The option "Pairing with code entry" cannot be set via the Configurator software. This
pairing procedure is always selected automatically if an older mobile phone does not support
modern pairing procedures.
The following Bluetooth protocols are supported:
A2DP
The Smallwonder Amp supports audio streaming according to the A2DP standard (Advanced Audio
Distribution Profile).
AVRCP
The Smallwonder Amp receives control information according to the standard AVRCP (Audio Video
Remote Control Profile).

DIP switches
In addition to audio pre-settings (transmission functions of the amplifier), it is also possible to set other
modes of operation. The DIP switches are located on the top of the amplifier housing and are labeled
accordingly.
The following settings can be made via the DIP switches:
Selection of desired control (DIP switch 1)
This DIP switch controls the default setting of the Smallwonder Amp. If DIP switch 1 is set to
"OFF", all of the other DIP switch settings are disabled. The basic setting of the amplifier is
then exclusively carried out via the Configurator software.
Audio pre-settings (DIP switch 2 to 4)
In addition to various standard audio pre-settings, an individual audio pre-setting can be
programmed via the Configurator software. Using the DIP switch 2 to 4 it is possible to select
different audio pre-settings.

Operating Manual Smallwonder Amp 2X60(C)
Page: 14
Sense mode (DIP switch 7)
Via the sense mode it is possible to activate or switch off the Smallwonder Amp via an
external signal (5-24 volt). Thus, for example, when installed in a vehicle, the Smallwonder
Amp is switched on as soon as the ignition lock is activated. Installation should be performed
by trained personnel only.
Important: If the sense line is not connected, the DIP switch 7 must be set to "OFF", since the
unconnected input is set to low active.
External IR Receiver (DIP switch 8)
The Smallwonder Amp can be expanded with an external IR receiver if the installation is
located at places that are difficult to access. The IR receiver can be installed at any location,
thus ensuring that the remote control can still be used to operate the Smallwonder Amp. The
external IR receiver can be turned on and off via DIP switch 8.
Stereo / Mono (DIP switch 9)
Depending on the configuration of the speakers, this function allows for switching between
mono and stereo operation
IR remote control (Dip switch 10)
To avoid unwanted access by unauthorized persons, access to the Smallwonder Amp via IR
remote control can be completely turned off. In this case, the Smallwonder Amp can only be
controlled via the functions featured by the Bluetooth device.
The DIP switches 5 and 6 are free for possible future expansions.
IR remote control
The IR remote control can be used to modify the various settings of the Smallwonder Amp. For best
performance, make sure to guarantee continuous "visual contact" between the IR remote control and
Smallwonder Amp.
Important: If the DIP switch 10 is set to "OFF" and / or if the IR remote control is deactivated through
the Configurator software, operation via IR remote control is not possible.
An overview of the key assignment of the IR remote control has already been given in the previous
chapter "Control elements and connections". The functions and effects of the individual settings will be
explained in detail in the following section.
Pairing
If a Bluetooth pairing is set by remote control, this key can make the
Smallwonder Amp visible or it can be detected by other Bluetooth devices for
the duration of 180 seconds (3 minutes). Within this time frame, the amplifier
can be connected with the Bluetooth device
Bluetooth
The Bluetooth key allows for compulsory recognition of Bluetooth audio
streaming. This also applies if, for example, an audio signal is detected by the
AUX input. A smartphone, for example, will have a higher priority than a
connected AUX device.
Power
The power key sets the Smallwonder Amp in standby mode. When pressing it
a second time, it will wake / reactivate the Smallwonder Amp.

Operating Manual Smallwonder Amp 2X60(C)

Protective mechanisms
The Smallwonder Amp has several built-in protective mechanisms. They protect both the
Smallwonder Amp and the connected speakers from damage.
The following protective mechanisms are integrated:
Reverse polarity protection
If the polarity of the supply voltage is accidentally reversed, the reverse polarity protection protects the
Smallwonder Amp from damage. Polarity protection is also triggered when connecting to an AC
instead of DC power source.
Caution! Voltages above 35 volts can cause permanent damage to the amplifier.
High-voltage Protection
The power consumption of the amplifier is continuously monitored. If it is too high, the device is
switched off as a precaution. Try to fix the error (e.g. excessive volume). The Smallwonder Amp is
automatically turned on again after a few seconds.
Caution! Voltages above 35 volts can cause permanent damage to the amplifier.
Low-voltage Protection
The power consumption of the amplifier is continuously monitored. If it is too low, the device is
switched off as a precaution. Try to fix the error (e.g. incorrectly set power supply, low battery). The
Smallwonder Amp is automatically turned on again after a few seconds.
Protection against distortion (clipping protection)
The audio output of the amplifier is continuously monitored. In case of excessive distortions, the
device is switched off as a precaution. Try to fix the error (e.g. overdriven input signal). The
Smallwonder Amp is automatically turned on again after a few seconds.
Protection against overheating
The operating temperature of the amplifier is continuously monitored. In case of excessive
temperatures, the device is switched off as a precaution. Try to cool down the device. The
Smallwonder Amp is automatically turned on again after a few seconds.

Automatic self-test
If required, the Smallwonder Amp can perform an automatic self-test. To start the self-test, follow
along these steps:
1) Disconnected the Smallwonder Amp from the mains so that it no longer carries any voltage (turn
off power supply or unplug from power supply).
2) Simultaneously press and hold VOL+ und VOL- key.
3) Switch on operating voltage (turn on power supply or plug in power supply).
The Smallwonder Amp now emits a 1000 Hz test tone in the following order:
1) 10 sec 1000 Hz test tone on left and right channels
2) 10 sec 1000 Hz test tone on left channel
3) 10 sec 1000 Hz test tone on right channel
Afterwards the amplifier will return to normal operation. With the automatic self-test you can easily
check the proper functioning of the amplifier and the speakers. Mind that minimal deviations with
regard to of the test tone’s interval and frequency are absolutely normal and do not indicate any
malfunction of the device.
