2.1 Unpack Your Amplifier
Please unpack and inspect your amplifier for
any damage that may have occurred during
transit. If damage is found, notify the transpor-
tation company immediately. Only you can ini-
tiate a claim for shipping damage.
We also recommend that you save all packing
materials so you will have them if you ever
need to transport the unit. Never ship the
unit without the factory packing material.
You will need:
*Input wiring cables (not supplied)
*Output wiring cables (not supplied)
Rack and rack-mounting hardware for mounting
amplifier .
WARNING: Before you start to set up
your amplifier, make sure you read and
observe the Important Safety Instructions
found at the beginning of this manual.
!
!
2.2 Install Your Amplifier
CAUTION: Before you begin, make sure
your amplifier is disconnected from the
power source, with the power switch in
the off position and all level controls
turned completely down
(counterclockwise).
Use a standard 19-inch (482.6 mm) equipment
rack. See Figure 2.2 for amplifier dimensions.
You may also stack amps without using a
cabinet.
NOTE: When transporting, amplifiers should
be supported at both front and back.
2.3 Ensure Proper Cooling
When using an equipment rack, mount units
directly on top of each other. Close any open
spaces in rack with blank panels. DO NOT
block front or rear air vents. Be sure that cooler
air can flow through the rack either from the
front of back of the rack.

2.4 Choose Input Wire
and Connectors
You have two choices of input connectors:
1/4-inch (6.35-mm) phone, 3-pin XLR.
You can also use either balanced or
unbalanced wiring.
Figure 2.4.1 shows balanced connector pin
assignments for XLR and phone. Figure 2.4.2
shows unbalanced connector pin assignments
for XLR and phone.
Both channels should be wired
using a common center terminal for ground
connection.
NOTE: Custom wiring should only be
performed by qualified personnel.

2.5 Choose OutputWire and Connectors
TechnicalPro recommends usingpre-built or professionallywired, high-quality,two- or four-
conductor, heavygauge speaker wires.Figure 2.5.1 showshow a userwould connect theL-
Series amplifier toa speaker usingthe Speakon™ connector.
Figure 2.5.2 showsanother option usershave when connectingthe L-Series amplifierto a speaker.
Using banana plugs,spade plugs orsimply bare wires,a user canconnect two speakersto the amplifier.
Using banana plugs,spade plugs orbare speaker wires,a user canconnect up tofour speakers to
the amplifier.When connecting speakerwires to thebanana binding post,be sure thatyou follow the
instructions very carefully. These connectionswill change dependingon whether theunit is beingoperated
in Stereo orBridged mode. InStereo mode thebanana plugs shouldbe connected verticallyin the CH.1
jacks (one wirein the positiveand one inthe negative jack).The same canbe done forchannels 2,3 and4
depending on thenumber of inputs.In Bridged modeCH.1 and Ch.2are combined andCH.3 and CH.4can be
combined. If theCH.1 and CH.2are Bridged, thanthe banana plugshould be connectedhorizontally, along
the positive jacksof CH.1 andCH.2. If theCH.3 and CH.3are Bridged, thanthe banana plugshould be
connected horizontally,along the positivejacks of CH.3and CH.4.
Using the guidelinesbelow, selectthe appropriate sizeof speaker
wires based onthe distance fromamplifier to speaker.

up to 25ft. 16 gauge
26-40 ft. 14gauge
41-60 ft. 12gauge

2.6 Wire Your System
2.6.1 Stereo Mode
Make sure theamplifier is turnedoff and thelevel controls
are turned downbefore you wirethe system. Make sure the
stereo/bridge switch isset to stereo.
Typical inputand output wiringis shown inFigure 2.6.1.
INPUTS: Connect the inputwiring for eachdesired channel
using either theRCA or1/4" jacks. Neverused both theRCA
and 1/4" jackssimultaneously on asingle channel.
OUTPUTS: Maintain proper polarity(+/-) on
output connectors.
In Stereo modethe banana plugsshould be connected
vertically in theCH.1 jacks (onewire in thepositive and
one in thenegative jack). Besure to maintainthe positive
/negative polarity whenconnecting your amplifierto the
speaker. Positiveterminal on theamplifier should be
connected to apositive terminal onthe speaker.The
same should bedone for thenegative terminals.
2.6.2 How toParallel the Inputs
There are twoways to feedthe same signalto
each amplifier channel:
1. Buy a"Y" cable. Plugthe female endinto your
signal cable, andplug the splitmale ends into
both amplifier inputs.
2. Feed yoursignal to theChannel-1 input screw
terminals. Using amic cable orphone-to-phone
cable, connect Channel-1combo jack toChannel-
2 combo jack.

2.6.3 Bridge-Mono Mode
Make sure the amplifier is turned off and the
level controls are turned down before you
wire the system. Make sure the stereo/bridge
switch is set to bridge.
Typical input and output wiring is shown in
Figure 2.6.3.
INPUTS: Connect input wiring to CH.1 and
CH.3. Never used both the RCAand 1/4" jacks
simultaneously on a single channel.
OUTPUTS: When operating the amplifier in
Bridge mode, only the Banana jacks can be
used. In Bridged mode CH.1 and Ch.2 are
combined and CH.3 and CH.4 can be combined.
If the CH.1 and CH.2 are Bridged, than the
banana plug should be connected horizontally,
along the positive jacks of CH.1 and CH.2.
If the CH.3 and CH.4 are Bridged, than the
banana plug should be connected horizontally,
along the positive jacks of CH.3 and CH.4. Refer
to Section 2.5 for output connector pin assi-
gnments. Make sure the Mode switch is set
to the "Bridge Mono" position when operat-
ing in Bridge-Mono mode.
NOTE: Turn down the Channel 2,4 level
control when operating the channel pair
in Bridge-Mono mode, as the Channel 1,3
level control works both channels.
