2 Safety instructions
This device amplies electric audio frequency signals to operate passive speakers. Use the
device only as described in this user manual. Any other use or use under other operating con‐
ditions is considered to be improper and may result in personal injury or property damage. No
liability will be assumed for damages resulting from improper use.
This device may be used only by persons with sucient physical, sensorial, and intellectual
abilities and having corresponding knowledge and experience. Other persons may use this
device only if they are supervised or instructed by a person who is responsible for their safety.
Safety
DANGER!
Danger for children
Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are disposed of properly and are not within reach of babies and young children. Choking
hazard! Ensure that children do not detach any small parts (e.g. knobs or the like) from the unit. They could swallow the pieces and
choke! Never let children unattended use electrical devices.
DANGER!
Electric shock caused by high voltages inside
Within the device there are areas where high voltages may be present. Never remove any covers. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside. Do not use the device if covers, protectors or optical components are missing or damaged.
Intended use
Safety instructions
TSA 1400, TSA 2200, TSA 4000 9
Power amplier

DANGER!
Electric shock caused by short-circuit
Always use proper ready-made insulated mains cabling (power cord) with a protective contact plug. Do not modify the mains cable
or the plug. Failure to do so could result in electric shock/death or re. If in doubt, seek advice from a registered electrician.
CAUTION!
Possible hearing damage
The device can produce volume levels that may cause temporary or permanent hearing impairment. Over an extended period of
time, even levels that seem to be uncritical can cause hearing damage. Decrease the volume level immediately if you experience
ringing in your ears or hearing impairment. If this is not possible, keep a greater distance or use sucient ear protectors.
NOTICE!
Risk of re
Do not block areas of ventilation. Do not install the device near any direct heat source. Keep the device away from naked ames.
NOTICE!
Operating conditions
This device has been designed for indoor use only. To prevent damage, never expose the device to any liquid or moisture. Avoid
direct sunlight, heavy dirt, and strong vibrations. Only operate the device within the ambient conditions specied in the chapter
‘Technical specications’ of this user manual. Avoid heavy temperature uctuations and do not switch the device on immediately
after it was exposed to temperature uctuations (for example after transport at low outside temperatures). Dust and dirt inside can
damage the unit. When operated in harmful ambient conditions (dust, smoke, nicotine, fog, etc.), the unit should be maintained by
qualied service personnel at regular intervals to prevent overheating and other malfunction.

NOTICE!
Power supply
Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet) matches the voltage rating of the device and that the AC
outlet is protected by a residual current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result in damage to the device and possibly injure the
user. Unplug the device before electrical storms occur and when it is unused for long periods of time to reduce the risk of electric
shock or re.
NOTICE!
Magnetic elds
The device generates strong magnetic elds that can interfere with the function of poorly shielded devices. The strongest magnetic
elds are directly above and below the power amplier. Therefore, never place sensitive devices such as pre-ampliers, radio trans‐
mission systems, or tape decks directly above or below the power amplier. When installing the power amplier into a rack, you
should place it in the lowest position, and further equipment such as pre-ampliers in the highest position.
NOTICE!
Possible staining
The plasticiser contained in the rubber feet of this product may possibly react with the coating of your surface and after some time
cause permanent dark stains. In case of doubt, do not put the rubber feet directly on the surface and use a suitable underlay if neces‐
sary, i.e. felt pads or similar.

NOTICE!
Possible staining
The plasticiser contained in the rubber feet of this product may possibly react
with the coating of your surface and after some time cause permanent dark
stains.
In case of doubt, do not put the rubber feet directly on the surface and use a suit‐
able underlay if necessary, i.e. felt pads or similar.
Unpack and check carefully there is no transportation damage before using the unit. Keep the
equipment packaging. To fully protect the product against vibration, dust and moisture during
transportation or storage use the original packaging or your own packaging material suitable
for transport or storage, respectively.
Create all connections while the device is o. Use the shortest possible high-quality cables for
all connections. Take care when running the cables to prevent tripping hazards.

1[POWER] | mains switch to turn the device on and o
2 Indicator LEDs [CH-A], [CH-B] | These LEDs indicate the ready status of the device ([Power]), the input signal level
([Signal] / [–20] / [–15] / [–10] / [–5]), channel overdrive ([Clip]) and a fault condition ([Fault]).
3[CH-A], [CH-B] | input gain controls for channels A and B
The [Power] LED is permanently lit during operation. The [Signal] / [–20] / [–15] /
[–10] / [–5] LEDs respond to the input signal. If any of these LEDs are lit without an
input signal is present disconnect the speakers from the amplier and turn the input
gain controls of channels A and B down to minimum. If the LEDs will still light, the
device must be checked by an authorized service workshop.
