Interupting Line Input
This is the secondary input, use MAIN IN for your main input.
INTERRUPTING INPUT can be used if a second source is desired and
takes over when signal is present and has at least a 5mV level.
When there is no signal, or a signal with less than 5mV level, the amp
switches back to MAIN IN after a brief delay.

MAIN IN should be used as the “primary” or main input for the amplifier.
Connect your receiver or main source to this input. Use MAIN OUT to pass
MAIN IN signal to another amplifier.
If you will be connecting one or two pair of speakers to the amplifier, place
the switch in the “Stereo” position. NOTE: For playing 2 pairs of speakers
(A plus B), make sure each speaker has an impedance of 8 ohms or greater.
When set to “Bridged” mode, the amplifier is a single channel mono amplifier.
NOTE:
The AMP102VS supplies 160W in bridged mode, Please verify that your
speakers are capable of handling such power to avoid possible damage!
For stereo output connect the speaker’s positive (red) terminal to the amplifier’s
positive (red) terminal, and the speaker’s negative (black) terminal to the
amplifier’s negative (black) terminal for each Right and Left speaker.
Place the “MODE” switch in the “BRIDGED” position and use both red
terminals to connect to the speaker. Connect the speaker’s positive (red)
terminal to the amplifier’s red (+) terminal noted next to the bridging mark, and
the speaker’s negative (black) terminal to the amplifier’s unmarked positive
NOTE:
Only one zone (A or B) can be bridged. Do not attempt to bridge both
A and B speaker terminals! This may result in a lower impedance than the
amplifier is designed for and may damage your amplifier. The minimum
impedance for the total load connected in bridged mode is 8 ohms.
STEREO MODE
BRIDGED MODE
BRIDGED MODE- MONO APPLICATION
For bridged mode, playing Right and Left together as mono output, use a
Y cable adapter to connect Right and Left RCA signal to the Right (Red) input
at MAIN IN. Set the MODE switch to BRIDGED and follow the instructions
for bridged speaker connection in the SPEAKER TERMINALS section of
this manual.

Bass and Treble Controls
These controls can adjust bass and treble frequ/- 12dB at 100Hz
and 10kHz.

12V Trigger
Allows the AMP102VS to be powered on by other electronics or to power
on other electronics via a 3.5mm mini phone plug cable.

(red) terminal.
NOTE:
Use Class 2 wiring for speaker connections.
To wire the output connector: 1. Strip the insulation off each speaker wire
to expose 3/8" (10 mm) of bare conductor. 2. Unscrew the output terminal
binding post several twists, insert each wire into the correct terminal.
3. Tighten binding post by twisting clock-wise until it is firmly clamping the
speaker wire.
Warning: While the amplifier does self-protect under most improper output
conditions, misconfiguration of loudspeaker mode and incorrect connection
of loudspeakers could damage connected loudspeakers and/or amplifier.
Please refer installation to a qualified installation professional, and always
check state and local electrical codes when installing.
