AMH PROFESSIONAL AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL

AMH

Congratulations on choosing Australian Monitor for your professional 
amplification requirements.

The design of our new AMH Series Audio Power Amplifiers embraces all 
the aspects of a well designed amplifier. The visual design, mechanical, 
electrical and sonic parameters, along with our dedicated manufacturing 
process, have all been optimized to provide a professional tool that 
exhibits quality, reliability and longevity.

The new AMH Series amplifiers are 2 unit (3.5”) high, 19” wide, rack 
mountable units. Each channel of the amplifier comprises a balanced 
active input with a buffered attenuator driving a differential class A drive 
stage which in turn drives a fan-cooled, class AB, output stage configured 
as an emitter follower. The amplifier operates from a high current-capable 
Class H dual Rail switched mode power supply.

These amplifiers have been specifically designed to deliver their high 
power output with minimal distortion, and provide the critical degree of 
control required by your speakers, at high duty cycles for extended 
periods.

WARNING!

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT USE THE PLUG WITH  

AN EXTENSION CORD, RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES  

CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE. 

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE 

THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. 

TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE PLUG TO WIDE SLOT & FULLY INSERT.

CAUTION

THESE SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR USE BY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY.  

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT PERFORM ANY SERVICING OTHER THAN THAT 

CONTAINED IN THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS UNLESS YOU ARE QUALIFIED TO DO SO.

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK 

DO NOT OPEN

uninsulated “dangerous voltage” 

within the product’s enclosure 

that may be of sufficient 

magnitude to constitute a risk  

of electric shock to persons.

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF 

ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT 

REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).
