CONGRATULATIONS!
Selecting fine audio equipment, such as the Addictive Audio unit you have just
purchased, is only the beginning of your musical enjoyment. Now is the time to
consider how to maximize the fun and excitement your equipment has to offer.
Addictive Audio and the Electronic Industry Associations Consumer Electronic
Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level,
a level that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring
distortion; most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher
volumes of sound, what may have sounded “normal” can actually be too loud and
harmful to your hearing.
Prevent this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing
adapts.
To establish the “safe level”.
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and
without distortion.
• Once you have established a comfortable “sound level” make a note of this
position and do not go above this setting.
Taking a minute to do this will help to prevent hearing damage in the future.
After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
Introduction
Your ADDICTIVE AUDIO amplifier has been designed to give you very high
performance, and valuable features, at a very reasonable price. Take the time to
read over this brief set of instructions, and you will get full enjoyment from your
system.
Installation
The quality of the installation will affect system performance and reliability. You
may wish to contact a dealer or professional installer. The amplifier is generally
mounted in the rear trunk area but can be mounted in any convenient area such as
beneath a seat. Please be sure to locate this unit where you have reasonable air
circulation and protection from any moisture.
When considering the mounting location you should minimize the length of the
power supply and speaker leads. Minimizing both leads will provide higher audio
output from the system. It is important to ensure that the heat sink is not against a
panel or a surface preventing air circulation. Mark the location for the mounting
screw holes by using the amplifier as a template. Drill #29 or 9/64” diameter holes
