INSTALLATION
You can place the amplifier on a horizontal surface or mount it on
a vertical surface. Perform the following steps to mount the
amplifier to a wall. Note that it can be mounted in a horizontal or
vertical orientation.
1. Determine the mounting location and orientation. For best
results, use a carpenter's level to ensure it is level.
2. Using a pencil, mark the drill locations inside the four
mounting holes.
3. Drill pilot holes at the marked locations.
4. Use screws (not included) to secure the amplifier to the
surface. If mounting to a drywall surface, insert wall
anchors (not included) into the pilot holes first.

PHYSICAL CONNECTIONS
Perform the following steps to make the physical connections
needed to use this amplifier.
1. Ensure that all equipment to be connected is powered off
and unplugged from its power source.
2. Using a 2-conductor speaker wire, connect the positive and
negative leads to the right channel speaker, then connect
the other end to the right channel Speaker Output terminals
on the amplifier. Ensure that the proper polarity is
maintained.
3. Repeat step 2 for the left channel.
4. (Optional) If you want to use a line input, plug one end of a
stereo audio cable (not included) into the 3.5mm Line Input
jack on the amplifier, then plug the other end into the line
output of your audio source device. If connecting the
headphone jack of a mobile device, use a 3.5mm-to-3.5mm
TRS audio cable (P/N 9764). If connecting to a device with
RCA outputs, use a 3.5mm-to-Dual-RCA audio cable (P/N
18269).
Note: The line-in and Bluetooth® connections are summed at the
output, which means that both sources will be audible at the
same time.
5. Connect an AC power cord (not included) into the Power
Input connector on the amplifier, then plug the other end

8
into a nearby AC power outlet. If you are using a line input
connection, the LED Indicator will flash red.
BLUETOOTH CONNECTION
Perform the following steps to connect your mobile device using
a Bluetooth® connection.
1. Plug the amplifier into an AC power source. The amp is
always in Bluetooth pairing mode whenever it is powered
on and it is not already paired with another device.
2. Open the Bluetooth settings on your mobile device and
scan for nearby Bluetooth devices.
3. Locate and select the DABA entry. If prompted for a
passcode, enter 0000 (four zeros).
Notes:
The line-in and Bluetooth® connections are summed at the
output, which means that both sources will be audible at
the same time.
To pair with a different device, turn off Bluetooth on the
connected device, then connect the new device.
