PANEL DESCRIPTION
■ When Installing the Amplifier
 DO NOT installing or mounting the amplifier in unstable locations, such as on the
rickety table or the slanted surface. It may result in the amplifier falling down and
causing body injury and/or property damage.
 Be sure to ground to the safety ground (earth) terminal to avoid electric shock.
Never to ground to a gas pipe for tragic disaster may occur.
 Use the amplifier only with the voltage specified on the amplifier. Using the
voltage higher than specified may cause fire or electric shock.
 DO NOT cut, twist, damage, nor modify the power supply cord. In addition, avoid
using the power cord close to heaters, and don’t place heavy object, including the
amplifier itself, on the power cord, for it may cause fire or electric shock.
 DO NOT expose the amplifier to rain or the environment where it may be splashed
by water or other liquids, for doing so, it may cause fire or electric shock.
WARNING

▓
▓▓
▓When using the Amplifier
 When found following irregular situation during amplifier is in use, immediately switch
off the power, disconnect the power supply plug from the AC outlet. Don’t try to
operate the amplifier again. Contact your local dealer to check the amplifier.
 The amplifier falls.
 Amplifier is malfunction.
 Water or any metallic object gets into the amplifier.
 The smoke or strange smell coming from the amplifier.
 The power supply cord is damaged, such as exposure of the core, disconnection
etc.
 DO NOT put cups, bowls, or other containers with liquid or metallic object in it on
the top of the amplifier. If they spill accidentally into the amplifier, it may result in
fire or electric shock.
 DO NOT touch the power supply plug during thundering and lightning, for it may
result in electric shock.
 DO NOT insert or drop the metallic objects or flammable materials into the
ventilation slots of the amplifier, for it may result in fire or electric shock.
 DO NOT open nor remove the amplifier cover to prevent fire or electric shock, for
there are high voltage components inside the amplifier.
PANEL DESCRIPTION
■ When Installing the Amplifier
 DO NOT remove nor plug in the power supply plug with wet hands, for it may
cause electric shock.
 When unplug the power supply cord, be sure to grasp the power supply plug.
DO NOT pull on the cord itself. Operating the amplifier with damaged power
supply cord may cause fire or electric shock.
 Avoid installing the amplifier in humid or dusty places, the area exposed to the
direct sunlight, locations generating smoke or steam, or the spot near the heaters.
It may result in fire or electric shock.
 When moving the amplifier, be sure to remove its power supply cord from the wall
outlet. Moving the amplifier with the power cord connected to the outlet may
cause damage to the power cord, and resulting in fire or electric shock. When
removing the power cord, be sure to grasp its plug to pull.
 DO NOT Block the ventilation slots of the amplifier chassis. It will cause the
temperature rising and result in fire.
CAUTION

■ When Using the Amplifier
 Make sure that the volume control is turned to minimum position before power is
switched on. Loud sound produced at high volume when power is switched on may
impair hearing.
 DO NOT place heavy objects on the amplifier, for it may cause it fall and may result
in body injury and/or property damage. Besides, the object itself may cause
damaged or body injury.
 DO NOT operate the amplifier for the extended period of time with the sound
distorting. It is an indication of malfunction, which can cause heat and result in fire.
 Switch the power off, and unplug the power supply plug from the AC outlet for safety
purposes, when cleaning or leaving the amplifier unused for 7 days or more. Fire or
electric shock may occur.
 If the dust accumulates on the power supply plug or in the wall AC outlet, fire may
result in. Clean it periodically. In addition, make sure the plug is inserted in the
wall outlet securely.
 Contact your local dealer to clean the dust, it the dust has accumulated in the
amplifier for a long period of time. Dust accumulation may result in fire or damage.
2. Description
QSB-6xxE series booster amplifiers cover models from 120W RMS to 480W RMS. This
manual is for 360W QSB-636E and 480W QSB-648E.
QSB-6xxE series is easy to use booster amplifier. It has one phone jack and one XLR
jack as input; and the same as output. And there is one screw speaker output terminal for
the direct connection to 8 ohm, or 70V, or 100V speaker.
There is only one set of LED as power on and level indicators on the front panel. On the
rear panel the sensitivity selection switch is for the sensitivity 100mV or 1V selection.
Beside the switch, there is one gain control for the input signal adjustment.
Besides 115 / 230V AC power source, QSM-6xxE series booster amplifier also accept DC
24V battery power source as backup power.
To ensure the amplifier working normally and safe operation, it has speaker short, over
temperature, and overload protection function.
QSM-6xxE series is simple and easy to use booster amplifier.
