INTRODUCTION
Dear Costumers,
Congratulations for purchasing a product of the highest quality and technology!
SounDigital's products are developed to ensure maximum efficiency and reliability
in your audio system.
Class D Amplifiers:
Class D amplifiers have audio quality, efficiency, application versatility, and
compact design as their main features. Here are the advantages of these
characteristics:
Audio Quality – In the past, Class D products had limited response and for higher
frequencies, Class AB products performed better, but their efficiency was very low.
The new technologies introduced by SounDigital resulted in a Class D amplifier
with high efficiency and performance superior to Class AB.
Efficiency – SounDigital Class D amplifiers have a total efficiency (Output +
Source) higher than 70%, which ensures lower battery consumption and less
heating.
Versatility of Application – The flat response in all frequencies of the SounDigital
amplifiers allows them to be used in all automotive sound systems. They meet the
demands with extreme quality.
Compact Design – The high efficiency and high technology applied allows
SounDigital amplifiers to be very compact, facilitating installation in vehicles where
space is limited.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Read this manual carefully and follow precisely all the information contained herein,
which are very important and allow your amplifier to work optimally. If you think it
necessary, do not hesitate to contact our technical support by e-mail
[e-mail] or by SAC [phone].

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To prevent injury to the user or damage to the amplifier, read all the safety
instructions contained in this manual;
If you feel insecure about installing the equipment, contact SounDigital technical
support or a qualified professional in automotive sound installation;
Before proceeding with the installation of any electrical equipment in the vehicle,
disconnect the negative (-) terminal of the battery to avoid fire, injury or damage to
the amplifier;
Use your sound system safely, continuous exposure to sound pressures above 85
decibels may cause irreversible hearing damage;
This equipment is for use with automotive batteries of DC voltage between 12.6 and
14.4 volts. Before installing the equipment, check the voltage of the batteries;
Do not install the amplifier in the engine compartment or in places exposed to
water, humidity, dust or dirt;
Install the amplifier in a ventilated place and prevent the side ventilation windows
from being obstructed;
Fix the amplifier in a proper and firm manner. Avoid the fixation on metallic parts, as
this procedure may cause ground "Looping" (noise);
Use rubber "O-rings" when passing the wires in metallic walls in order to prevent
them from being cut and causing short-circuit;
Make sure that the place chosen for installation of the amplifier does not hinder the
operation of the vehicle;
During the use of this product, the aluminum housing/dissipator may reach
temperatures higher than 60°C. Before touching the amplifier, be sure that it is cold;
To maintain the efficient thermal dissipation, periodically clean the dissipator,
removing dust and impurities with the help of a brush and/or dry cloth;
Be very careful when drilling holes in the vehicle, make sure not to pierce the fuel
tank, brake lines, electrical cables, etc;
Make sure that all cables are properly secured throughout the entire installation;
Wear gloves, safety goggles, and all necessary safety equipment during the
installation of the SounDigital amplifiers.
This symbol alerts the user to the presence of important instructions.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in damage to the
amplifier or the user.
Cuidado!

ASSEMBLING AND DISASSEMBLING THE PLASTIC COVER
The plastic covers have the function of giving finishing and hiding the amplifier's
fixation screws. To remove and replace them, follow the instructions below.
1 2
1. Carefully pull the top flap outward, releasing the upper latches, as illustrated in the image.
2. With one continuous movement, slide the plastic cover upward, removing it.
21
1. Fit the plastic cover flush against the side of the amplifier, matching the attachment points A and B, and push it down.
2. Lightly press the sides of the upper part of the plastic cover against the amplifier until you hear the "click" of the latches.

ELECTRICAL SIZING AND AUDIO INPUTS
ELECTRICAL SIZING
For a correct operation of your SounDigital amplifier, it is necessary to properly size
the electrical system and the cables used.
In the table below you can determine the minimum proper section of the
grounding, positive + 12VDC, and audio output cables according to the amplifier
power.
For the connections from the battery to the amplifier and to ground, use good
quality copper cables.
CCA cables should not be used.
AUDIO INPUT
RCA Entry
All RCA inputs must be connected
for all 4 channels to work.

INSTALLATION SEQUENCE
BEFORE INSTALLING ANY ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT IN THE VEHICLE,
DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE (-) TERMINAL OF THE BATTERY TO AVOID FIRE,
DAMAGE TO THE AMPLIFIER AND TO THE USER HIMSELF.
CUIDADO!
ØFix the amplifier so that there is access to the connectors.
ØInstall the power cables in the vehicle in a proper way, starting from the battery up to the fuse
holder or circuit breaker, use the cable with the proper section. Make all connections, install
fuse holders or circuit breakers, but without placing the fuses or with the circuit breakers in the
"off" position.
ØConnect the power supply to the amplifier with the correct polarity. Connect all positive
terminals (+) coming from the fuse holders or circuit breakers to the amplifier positive
connectors, and all negative cables (GND) coming from the grounding point to the amplifier
negative.
ØThe grounding should be as short as possible and should be connected to the vehicle chassis
and the battery negative;
ØInstall the input signal cables properly, the input signal cables should be installed away from
the power cables.
ØConnect the RCA cables to the main unit and the amplifiers.
ØInstall the audio output cables, with the appropriate cross-section, in a proper manner and
away from the power and audio input cables.
ØConnect the audio output cables to the amplifier and speakers respecting the positive (+) and
negative (-) polarities;
ØInstall next to the power cables the remote power cable with section of 1.5mm² or larger.
ØConnect the remote power cable to the "REM" terminal of the amplifier to the remote power
output of the main unit (when not using the high-level signal inputs);
ØAfter the cable connections, before powering up the system, check that all connections are
correct and that there are no shorts between cables and ground cables;
ØReconnect the battery ground;
ØMake sure the main unit is off and then set the fuses or turn on the circuit breakers;
ØPower up the main unit and the amplifier will turn on the "On" indicator LED indicating that it is
operating.
