1. Fan
This is a variable speed cooling fan. Cool air enters the amplifier
through the fan filters located on the front of the amplifier. Be
sure not to block these ports when installing the amplifier or
other equipment.
2. Input connectors
Connect the input source to the unbalanced RCA connectors
using standard RCA cables.
3. Link connectors
These jacks are used to send a parallel signal to another device
or amplifier.
4. High Pass Filter (HPF) switch.
These switches are used to activate the built-in High Pass Filter.
The HPF rolls off signals below 40Hz. This improves bass per-
formance by limiting sub-audio cone motion, making more
power available for the speaker’s rated frequency range. When
the filter is turned off, a 5 Hz roll off protects against DC or deep
sub-audio inputs.
5. Limiter switch
When the input signal connected to your amplifier is too high,
you end up with a distorted output signal. To prevent this, both
channels feature a clip limiter that can be engaged or disengaged
selectively.
6. Bridge / Stereo / Parallel switch
This switch changes the amplifier operating mode between
stereo, mono bridged, and parallel.
7. 5-way Binding Post
Connect each channel of the unit to your speakers. Binding posts
are provided for each channel as so that paralleling of speakers
is possible. Connection to the binding posts can be made with
bare wire, banana plugs, or spade lug terminations. Make con-
nections to both the Channel 1 and Channel 2 terminals for
Stereo or Parallel Mode, or a single connection across the red
terminals only of Channel 1 and Channel 2 for Bridged Mono
Mode.
8. Circuit breaker
The breaker acts in place of common disposable fuses. This cir-
cuit breaker will trip if there is a fault with the main voltage or if
maximum output is exceeded. Simply depress the circuit breaker
and power up the unit again.
9. AC input
IEC connector for AC power cable. Connect the supplied heavy-
gauge 3-pin IEC power cable.
