REMOTE antenna input (optional)
Remote antenna is needed to receive the commands from the radio remote control unit
(supplied – 43mm long wire with jack). The antenna should be connected to the round
connector marked with the
BLACK DOT
.
REMOTE Receiver Antenna (optional)
At the back of the enclosure the 173mm antenna is attached to a small connector for stronger
and better receptions of remote commands.
REMOTE output (optional)
Remote output provides remote voltage source (12V/100 mA). While amplifier is turned “ON”,
the voltage of 12V is present.
POWER IEC connector
On the rear panel in the middle you will see an IEC power connector. You can connect the
amplifier to 230/240 (or 110/120) V A.C. wall socket with the appropriate cable. The connector
also holds a Fuse holder and On/Off switch. You can extract the fuse with a screwdriver. There is
also a spare fuse. Replace the fuse only with the same current ratings fuse.
ON/OFF switch
The On/Off switch is a mains switch. When turned On it powers the control logic. The amplifier
enters the standby mode. To activate the amplifier you must press the
POWER (STANDBY/OPERATE)
Key
on the front panel
.
Damping Factor switch
On the rear panel in the center the damping factor (DF) switch is situated. This switch is
normally positioned “down”. In this position the output amplifier output is 0.56 Ohm or DF = 15.
If the switch is “up” the output impedance is 0.16 Ohm or DF = 50.
Changing the DF will change the sound. The change depends on the speaker model, but a lot of
speakers will sound more open and detailed with lower DF (i.e. DF = 15).
NOTE:
SWITCHING THE DAMPING FACTOR SELECTOR WHILE THE AMPLIFIER IS OPERATIONAL MAY CAUSE SOME
NOISES TO BE HEARD IN YOUR SPEAKERS.
