Note: It is important that a 4 Ohm minimum total speaker impedance load is

observed! If an impedance load of less than 4 Ohms is used, you will

eventually damage your amplifier and void your warranty.

RCA INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

As seen in the above drawing, the function of the RCA inputs, outputs,

and feature buttons are as follows:

CH 1/2 INPUT

The RCA cables from your source unit should be inserted here.

-12dB BUTTON: CH 1/2

To the right of the CH 1/2 INPUT RCAs you will find the -12dB button.

Pushing this button: "IN" allows your amplifier to accept signal voltages as

high as 12VRMS. Pushing this button "OUT" configures the amplifier to

accept signal voltages up to 6VRMS.

AUX. X-OVER INPUT

These RCA jacks allow you independent access to the AUX. X-OVER.

X-OVER INPUT SELECT

Pushing this button "IN" routes signals from the CH 1/2 INPUTS to the inputs

of the AUX. X-OVER. Pushing this button "OUT" allows independent access

to the AUX. X-OVER.

AUX. X-OVER OUT

These RCA outputs are used to provide filtered or unfiltered signals to an

outboard processor or amplifier.

By pushing the X-OVER INPUT SELECT button to the "IN" position, and

pushing the LOWPASS ON/OFF and HIGHPASS ON/OFF crossover buttons

to the "OUT" position, signals available at the CH 1/2 INPUTS will bypass

the crossover and be made available at the AUX. X-OVER OUTPUT RCAs

allowing you to "daisy-chain" multiple D7 amplifiers for the ultimate in system

design flexibility (see block diagram page 16).

Note: To set crossovers, first remove the two 1/16" Allen screws holding

down the security cover using the Allen key provided. When reinstalling

the cover be careful not to overtighten the screws. Damage to the cover

may result.

CROSSOVER CONTROLS: CH 1/2

As seen in the above drawing, the function of the crossover controls (from

left to right) are as follows:

GAIN

This control matches the output voltage of the source unit or processor to the

amplifier inputs. Rotating this control to the "MIN" mark (counterclockwise)

configures your D7 amplifier to accept input voltages as high as 12V RMS with

the -12dB button pushed "IN" (see "RCA INPUT" drawing on page 12). This

control should be set as low as possible. The basic procedure for setting

input gains is as follows:

Adjust all amplifier gain controls to just above the minimum setting

(fully counterclockwise). If your source unit output voltage is less than

6 Volts RMS, push the –12dB button for the selected channel pair to the

"OUT" position. If the available signal voltage is more than 6 Volts

RMS, push the -12dB button to the "IN" position.

Using the highest quality source (usually CD) play some music and

slowly turn up the source unit until you can hear distortion. Now turn

down the volume until the distortion stops. This is your maximum

source unit level.

Turn up the amplifier gain until audible distortion starts. Turn down

the gain to the point JUST BELOW the start of the distortion.

Repeat step 3 for all amplifiers in your system.

Please refer to the Diamond Audio Level Setting Technical Brief available from

the Tech Department for a comprehensive level setting procedure.
