Installation & operating instruction

Mains power connection.

Before connecting the amplifier to the mains power socket, make certain that the voltage

corresponds with that indicated on the rear of the unit (an allowance of 10% is

Before connecting the power cable to the mains, always make certain that it is not

damaged and that there are no bare wires, always connect the power cable to the

amplifier before switching it on and only remove the cable after switching it off.

Switching on and off.

In an audio system, it's always better to switch power amplifiers on last and off first.

Remember to switch off the amplifier before connecting it to or disconnecting it from other

units and to switch always on first the mixer and then the amplifie : in this manner, peaks

which are annoying and sometimes dangerous particularly for the loudspeakers enclosures

are avoided. It is normal for the LEDs to light up for a few moments when switching on.

Handling.

Do not force knobs and connectors, as they could be damaged if treated with excessive

force.

Connections and prevention of possible interference.

Avoid installing your equipment near radios, televisions, etc., since they could cause noisy

disturbance. When connecting the other units in your sound system, watch out for to so-

called earth-loops, which can cause hum: in the event of interference, try using the EARTH

switch on the amplifier's rear panel.

Connector cables.

To connect the amplifier to the mixer, always make certain to use only signal cables

(screened cables made up of two wires plus a braid screen), not power cables (speaker

cables, normally made up of two wires, usually with a greater cross-section): to connect the

amplifier to the loudspeaker enclosures, always use power cables, not signal cables, as in

the latter case in fact, the power from the amplifiers would be partially disperse because of

the cable's smaller cross-section.

Take care of the connector cables. Always hold them by the connectors, avoiding pulling

the wire and avoid knots and twists when coiling them: this gives the advantage of

increasing their life and reliability.

Air circulation for cooling.

Amplifier's correct cooling is ensured by an internal fan, the speed of which is controlled

by a special sensor (the speed is proportional to output power and therefore the

temperature generated):remember never to block the air vents located on the unit's sides in

any way: the air necessary for cooling passes through these.

If the amplifier is kept in a flight-case during use, make certain that it has sufficient openings

at both the amplifier's air vents. Avoid locating it very small spaces which don't allow correct

air circulation.
