 amplifier is designed for the amplification of pulsed audio sig-

nals. The amplifier should only be connected to speakers with an average 
impedance as indicated.

2. User Manual

Read the information for use (user manual) and heed all warnings. Keep 
this user manual in a safe place during the lifetime of the amplifier. The 
user manual forms an integral part of the amplifier. Reselling the amplifier

in writing and pass the documentation on to the buyer.

3. Environments 

Use this amplifier only in E1, E2, E3, or E4 environments according to  
EN55103-2 “Electromagnetic compatibility – Product family standard for 
audio, video, and audio-visual and entertainment lighting control appara-
tus for professional use – Part 2: Immunity”.

4. Mounting / Placement

Do not place this amplifier on an unstable cart, stand, 
tripod, bracket, or table. The amplifier may fall caus-
ing serious injury and serious damage to the prod-
uct. Any mounting of the amplifier should follow the 
manufacturer´s instructions. Only mounting acces-
sory shall be used which is recommended by the 
manufacturer.

5. Power Cord Protection

Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be 
walked on or pinched by items placed upon them or against them, paying 
particular attention to cords and plugs and the point where they exit from 
the amplifier. The disconnection device from mains (mains plug or external 
all-pole circuit breaker) shall remain readily operable and freely accessible 
at all times.

6. Heat

Do not use this amplifier near any heat sources such as radiators, heat 
registers, stoves, or other apparatuses that produce heat.

7. Water and Moisture

Do not expose this device to rain or moisture. Do not use this amplifier 
near water (for example swimming pools and fountains). Do not place any 
objects containing liquids, such as bottles or glasses, on the top of the 
unit. Do not splash liquids on the unit. IP-20 equipment. There is no protec-
tion against splashing water.

8. Ventilation

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to ensure

openings must not be blocked or covered. This amplifier should not be 
installed unless proper ventilation is provided or manufacturer’s instruc-
tions have been adhered to.

9. Interference of External Objects and/or Liquids with the Appliance

Never push objects of any kind into this amplifier through openings as they 
may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in 
fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the amplifier.
