2. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of your new EAW
Commercial power amplifi er. You now own one of the
fi nest professional audio products available - the result of
exceptional engineering and meticulous craftsmanship. Please
read these instructions to get the maximum performance from
your new power amplifi er.
Each EAW Commercial power amplifi er is intended for
professional use. The construction, components, and hardware
have been designed to provide robust, reliable performance
for its intended application. Please ensure that you fully
understand its proper installation and operation before use.
The CAZ series amplifi ers are designed for continuous duty
in speech, music, paging and sound reinforcement applications
in churches, schools, offi ces, arenas, hotel meeting rooms,
convention centers, recreation facilities and other venues
demanding high performance, fl exible features, and rugged
dependability.
A rear panel low-cut switch allows you to remove low
frequencies (below 30 Hz), and a clip-eliminator allows extra
protection for your speakers by preventing the amplifi er from
being overloaded.
The amplifi er can operate in stereo, dual-mono, or bridged
mono.
The outputs are screw terminals that accept bare wire or
spade terminals.
There are screw terminal inputs, and combination inputs,
capable of accepting balanced XLR, 1/4" TRS, or unbalanced
1/4" TS connections from line-level sources. Two front panel
level controls allow adjustment of the input signals.
The front panel has a rocker power switch with a power
LED, and each channel has a signal-present LED and an
overload LED.
The amplifi er output stage is fully protected against
permanent damage caused by overloading, shorts, and extreme
temperatures.
The front panel incorporates holes for rack mounting, and
it will take up two rack spaces. There are two handles fi tted on
the front panel for easy transporting.
