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!
Risk of injury and choking hazard for children!
Children can suocate on packaging material and small parts. Children can injure themselves when handling the device. Never allow
children to play with the packaging material and the device. Always store packaging material out of the reach of babies and small
children. Always dispose of packaging material properly when it is not in use. Never allow children to use the device without supervi‐
sion. Keep small parts away from children and make sure that the device does not shed any small parts (such knobs) that children
could play with.
WARNING!
Possible hearing damage due to operating the device at a high volume!
The device can produce volume levels that, when operated at a high volume, may cause temporary or permanent hearing impair‐
ment. Over an extended period of time, even levels that seem to be uncritical can cause hearing damage. Avoid operating the device
at excessively high volumes over an extended period of time. 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 adequate ear-mus.

NOTICE!
Damage to the device if operated in unsuitable ambient conditions!
The device can be damaged if it is operated in unsuitable ambient conditions. Only operate the device indoors within the ambient
conditions specied in the “Technical specications” chapter of this user manual. Avoid operating it in environments with direct sun‐
light, heavy dirt and strong vibrations. Avoid operating it in environments with strong temperature uctuations. If temperature uc‐
tuations cannot be avoided (for example after transport in low outside temperatures), do not switch on the device immediately.
Never subject the device to liquids or moisture. Never move the device to another location while it is in operation. In environments
with increased dirt levels (for example due to dust, smoke, nicotine or mist): Have the device cleaned by qualied specialists at reg‐
ular intervals to prevent damage due to overheating and other malfunctions.
NOTICE!
Interference with nearby electrical devices due to magnetic elds!
The device generates strong magnetic elds that can interfere with the function of poorly shielded devices. The magnetic elds are
strongest directly above and below the Power Amplier. You should therefore never place sensitive devices such as pre-ampliers,
radio transmission systems, or tape decks directly above or below the Power Amplier. When placing the Power Amplier in a rack,
you should place it at the bottom thereof, and place any other equipment at the top of the rack.
NOTICE!
Damage to the external power supply due to high voltages!
The device is powered by an external power supply. The external power supply can be damaged if it is operated with the incorrect
voltage or if high voltage peaks occur. In the worst case, excess voltages can also cause a risk of injury and res. Make sure that the
voltage specication on the external power supply matches the local power grid before plugging in the power supply. Only operate
the external power supply from professionally installed mains sockets that are protected by a residual current circuit breaker (FI). As
a precaution, disconnect the power supply from the power grid when storms are approaching or it the device will not be used for a
longer period.
