1. Output Level Meter: These indicators show current output level.
2. Clip Led Indicators: These indicators warn against overload shortly on the each output channels.
To prevent the “clipping“ (distortion) adjust Input Volume control on rear panel when Clip indica-
tors are flickering.
3. Protect Led Indicators: If the Protection Led turns on, the amplifier is in heat or overcurrent pro-
tection mode and will not output sound. To restore sound output, reduce the device’s tempera-
ture by making sure there is good ventilation and/or decreasing the input volume.
4. Power light: This light will turn on when PA16-120 is powered on.
5. Power Switch: Power on/off switch.

1. AC Power Input: Use the included power cable to connect this input to a power outlet. / Fuse: If
the unit’s fuse is broken, lift this tab to replace the fuse. Replace it with a fuse with an appropriate
rating. Using a fuse with an incorrect rating can damage the unit and/or the fuse.
2. Channel Outputs (1-16): Use Euroblock connectors to connect these outputs to your loudspeak-
ers. Each output sends the amplifier signal from the corresponding Channel input to the con-
nected loudspeaker.
Note: These channel output euroblocks provide 16 Low Impedance (4-8 Ohms) outputs or 8 High
Impedance (100V) outputs (bridged mode) for professional use.
3. Volume Controls: Use this to adjust the input level.
4. Channel Inputs: Use Euroblock connectors (balanced) to connect these inputs to your audio
sources.
5. HPF Switch: Use this switch to select between flat or 180Hz high pass filter for each input signal.
6. Mode Select Switch: Use this switch to select amplifier input mode (parallel, 2 channel, bridged
mono).
