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

The lightning flash with 

arrowhead symbol, within an 

equilateral triangle, is intended to 

alert the user to the presence of 

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).NO 

USER SERVICEABLE PARTS 

INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO 

QUALIFIED SERVICE 

PERSONNEL.

The exclamation point within an 

equilateral triangle is intended 

to alert the user to the 

presence of important operating 

and maintenance (servicing) 

instructions in the literature 

accompanying the appliance.

For European Union countries: This symbol on  

the product or its packaging indicates that this

INTRODUCTION AND CONTENTS

Congratulations on choosing Australian Monitor for your professional 
amplification requirements.

The design of our HSP series constant voltage 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 optimised to provide a 
professional tool that exhibits quality, reliability and longevity.

The HSP series amplifiers are 1 unit 1.75” high, 19” wide, or 2 unit 
3.5” high, 19” wide rack mountable units depending on the model.

Models are available in 1, 2 and 4 channel versions. The HSP amplifier 
is fully controllable over the included USB and RS232 interface which 
provides configuration and monitoring capabilities. An included mini 
DSP also allows control of the volume, muting, compressor/limiter and 
input channel selection which feeds an efficient Class D amplifier to 
deliver 120W or 250W of output power per channel.

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.
