Instructions
1. When you carry the amplier, use the handles (8) for a safe grip. In
case of mounting on a standard 19” rack use the holes (1) for correct
fastening.
2. By using the 6,3mm jack sockets (13-19) you connect the audio
signal coming from a source you wish to amplify. You can connect to
these sockets unbalanced signals. If you have devices with balanced
signal use the XLR sockets (14-20).
3. The switch (15) allows to enable or disable the connection of the
ground to the amplier’s chassis in case of background noises.
4. Connect your speaker to the back speakon sockets (22-24) or to the
clips (23). If you wish to use the amplier combined with a subwoofer
(mono) you can exploit the bridge socket (25), where the full power
of the amplier will be conducted. In this case put the switch (16) on
BRI.
5. Once completed the connections, plug the power cable (21) into the
230V mains.
6. Warning: check the level of the output signal coming from the audio
source and set the proper sensitivity level, through the selector (17)
on one of these values: 1,40V - 1,0V - 0,77V. The usual standard
value is 1,40V.
7. Use the limiter (12) to reduce the possibility of clipping or overloading
on the channels.

not too high. In this case the CLIP leds (5) will light on. Act on the
volume controls (3) on the right and left channels and reduce it.

amplier. The PROT(4) leds will light on. If this happens, switch o󰀨
the amplier through the button (7) and use the button (12) to re-
enable the amplier.
