SAFEGAURDS
Important Safeguards
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY ALL THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS THAT ARE
APPLICABLE TO YOUR EQUIPMENT AND YOUR SAFETY
Before You plug this amplifier into the wall AC Socket, please be sure to check the AC
Voltage Selection Switch located on the Bottom Side of the amplifier. Use a coin,
screwdriver, or other to set this switch to the correct position for the AC Voltage for your
area. If you are unsure of the AC voltage in your area, please be sure to ask a local
electrician before you plug this into the wall socket. Choices are 110 VAC and 220 VAC.
Failing to do so can damage the amplifier and void your warranty!
Please Carefully Read this User’s Manual completely and retain it for future
reference. All safety instructions and warnings should be strictly adhered to.
Power supply cords and all connecting cables or wires should be routed so that
they are not likely to be walked on or pinched. Always use wires with adequate
ratings and safety certifications (CE, UL, etc.)
Proper ventilation is crucial for safe and reliable operation. Never place anything
on top of your amplifier that could obstruct airflow and cause the parts to overheat
and damage the amplifier. Do not use this product near water or wet areas.

INFORMATION
About Our Gallium Nitride Amplifiers
Class A has been the serious audiophile’s
gold standard for decades. Today however,
we are at the early stages of a seismic shift
towards widespread Class D audiophile
adoption. Why? Because a new type of
Class D audio is quickly approaching the
performance of Class A. Gallium Nitride
(GaN) is poised to uproot the high-end
audio world. In fact, GaN-based Class D is
much more power-efficient than
traditional, MOSFET-based Class D and
offers orders of magnitude better
performance. Performance that to many
listeners, even surpasses the quality of
Class A.
“Premium Audio Products would
like to thank you for purchasing
this very high-quality Gallium
Nitride Class D power amplifier.
We are confident that your
amplifier will be a pleasure to use
and will provide you with many
years of listening pleasure.”
Please Read
Before using this amplifier, please take
the time to carefully read and
understand this user’s manual and pay
close attention to the safety
instructions, warnings, and operating
procedures. Becoming familiar with all
the details about your amplifier will
ensure safe usage and reliable
operation. The effort you invest now
will be well rewarded as time goes by.

SETUP - ONE
WARNING NOTE: This is a Full Bridge Class D Gallium Nitride
audio amplifier and while both loudspeaker outputs are
ground-referenced, neither is connected to ground. DO NOT
CONNECT EITHER OF THESE LOUDSPEAKER OUTPUTS TO ANY
SYSTEM OR TEST EQUIPMENT GROUND!!

SETUP - TWO
•IEC Power Cord Input –This is the AC Power Cord Input. Use Minimum 10 Amp AC Cord.
•AC Selector Switch –The AC Voltage Selector Switch is located on the bottom of the amp.
CAUTION! Be sure to set this AC Selector switch correctly before using this amplifier.
•12 Volt Trigger Input –This is a 12 Volt Trigger Input (only input). Connect a preamp or
other device with a 12V Trigger output to this 12V Trigger input, and when your preamp or
other device is turned on or off, it will also turn the amp on and off. Be sure to leave the
amplifier front power switch in the off position when using the 12V trigger input.
•Adjustable Gain Settings –Three Position Input Gain Settings. Low –Medium –and High.
Low Gain = 26db, Medium = 28db, and High = 32db. Most speakers can use the Medium
Gain (M) position. High efficiency speakers are best with the amp set at low gain (L). Low
efficiency speakers are best with amplifier set at High Gain. You can change these settings
to see what sounds best with your system… no rocket science here.
•Balanced XLR Inputs - These are the Differential Balanced XLR Inputs. The wiring is
standard for XLR inputs –Pin 1 is Ground, Pin 2 is Hot +, and Pin 3 is - Cold.
•Single Ended RCA Inputs –These are Standard Single Ended RCA Inputs. Use either XLR or
RCA inputs. Do not use XLR and RCA at the same time as they share the same signal path.
•Speaker Outputs –5-Way Gold Plated Copper Speaker Binding posts. Connect to Left and
Right side Speakers. Each side is clearly labeled. + Red = Positive and - Black = Negative.
WARNING NOTE: This is a Full Bridge Class D Gallium Nitride audio amplifier and while
both loudspeaker outputs are ground-referenced, neither is connected to ground. DO NOT
CONNECT EITHER OF THESE LOUDSPEAKER OUTPUTS TO ANY SYSTEM OR TEST
EQUIPMENT GROUND!! DO NOT LET SPEAKER WIRES TOUCH (SHORT) EACH OTHER!
