SAFETY WARNINGS AND GUIDELINES
Please read this entire manual before using this device, paying extra attention to these
safety warnings and guidelines. Please keep this manual in a safe place for future
reference.
This device is intended for indoor use only.
Do not expose this device to water or moisture of any kind. Do not place drinks
or other containers with moisture on or near the device. If moisture does get in
or on the device, immediately unplug it from the power outlet and allow it to
fully dry before reapplying power.
Do not touch the device, the power cord, or any other connected cables with
wet hands.
Do not expose this device to excessively high temperatures. Do not place it in,
on, or near heat sources, such as a fireplace, stove, radiator, etc. Do not leave it
in direct sunlight.
This device ventilates excessive heat through the slots and openings in the case.
Do not block or cover these openings. Ensure that the device is in an open area
where it can get sufficient airflow to keep from overheating.
Do not expose this device to excessive vibration.
Do not place or install this device in an area where it can be exposed to
excessive amounts of dust, humidity, oil, smoke, or combustible vapors.
Use only in a well-ventilated area. Do not use in close, confined spaces.
Prior to operation, check the unit and power cord for physical damage. Do not
use if physical damage has occurred.
Before plugging the unit into a power outlet, ensure that the outlet provides the
same type and level of power required by the device.
This device uses a grounded power cord and requires a ground connection for
safe operation. Ensure that the power source has a proper ground connection.
Do not modify the plug or use a "cheater" plug to bypass the ground connection.
Unplug this device from the power source when not in use.

Take care to prevent damage to the power cord. Do not allow it to become
crimped, pinched, walked on, or become tangled with other cords. Ensure that
the power cord does not present a tripping hazard.
Never unplug the unit by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the connector
head.
Ensure that power is turned off and disconnected before making any electrical
connections.
Clean using a soft, dry cloth only. Do not use chemical cleaners, solvents, or
detergents. For stubborn deposits, moisten the cloth with warm water.
This device has no user serviceable parts. Do not attempt to open, service, or
modify this device.
Always set the Volume knobs to the minimum position before applying power
to the amplifier. Transient voltage spikes during power on can cause loud
popping in the speakers, which can damage the speakers.
Do not operate this amplifier for extended periods of time with audio distortion
present. Audio distortion can cause excessive heat and can damage the amplifier
and/or speakers.
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this Commercial Audio Mixer Amplifier! This amplifier features
two 60-watt channels and offers several configuration options. You can use it as a
normal 60-watts/channel stereo amplifier, as two separate 60-watt mono amplifiers, or
as a single bridged 120-watt mono amplifier. It includes both unbalanced line level
stereo RCA inputs as well as balanced Euroblock connector inputs for use as line or
microphone inputs. It has independent volume controls for each channel, as well as
bass and treble tone controls and an optional amplifier limiter circuit. In stereo or dual
mono mode it supports 4-ohm and 8-ohm loads, or an 8-ohm load for bridged mono
operation.

OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
Two Speakers
The amplifier can be connected to two speakers for either dual mono or stereo
operation. In this configuration each speaker is driven by a dedicated 60-watt amplifier.
In this configuration the amp can drive 4-8 ohm speaker loads. For dual mono
operation, the speakers should be located in different zones, while for stereo operation,
the speakers should be located in the same zone.
1. Ensure that all equipment to be connected is powered off and unplugged from
its power source.
2. Using a small flat head screwdriver, loosen the four screws on the output
Euroblock connector.
3. Insert the negative lead from the first/left channel speaker into the LEFT -
connector, then tighten the screw.

connector, then tighten the screw.
5. Insert the negative lead from the second/right channel speaker into the RIGHT -
connector, then tighten the screw.
6. Insert the positive lead from the second/right channel speaker into the RIGHT +
connector, then tighten the screw.
Single Bridged Speaker
When using a single microphone or unbalanced input, you can either connect two
speakers, with each outputting the same audio signal, or you can connect a single
speaker in bridged mono mode. In this configuration, the two amplifiers will be bridged
to produce a single 120-watt output. In this configuration, the amp can drive an 8-ohm
load ONLY. Do not connect loads less than 8 ohms!
1. Ensure that all equipment to be connected is powered off and unplugged from
its power source.
2. Using a small flat head screwdriver, loosen the LEFT + and RIGHT + screws on the
output Euroblock connector.

3. Insert the negative lead from the speaker into the LEFT + connector, then
tighten the screw.
4. Insert the positive lead from the speaker into the RIGHT + connector, then
tighten the screw.
OPERATION
General
Set the LIMITER switch to the ON position to reduce the output signal to
prevent clipping.
Use the BASS and TREBLE knobs to affect the tone of the output signal on both
channels, if applicable.
Single Mono Input or Bridged Output
When using a single mono input to the RIGHT channel or when the amplifier is
driving a single bridged speaker, the LEFT VOLUME knob is inactive. Use the
RIGHT VOLUME knob to control the output level.
Dual Mono or Stereo Input
When using dual mono inputs or a single stereo input, use the LEFT VOLUME
knob to control the output level of the speaker connected to the LEFT output
and use the RIGHT VOLUME knob to control the output level of the speaker
connected to the RIGHT output.
