DSP Module (GS-XD4080) & AMPLIFIER MODULE (GS-A3) SET UP
(A) Mount the DSP Module and Amplifier Module in the appropriate location near
the loudspeakers.
CAUTION: KEEP AMPLIFIER MODULE TURNED OFF UNTIL ALL CONNECTIONS
ARE SECURED
Note:
When mounting in a rack enclosure, a minimum of (1) blank rack space is
required both under and over the GS-A3 Amplifier Module for heat dissipation.
The DSP Module should be mounted above the Amplifier Module with (1) empty
rack space in between.
Historical Note:
The GS-A3 Amplifier Module can produce over 3.5 kilowatts per stereo pair. The
Class D power amplifier circuits utilized are approximately 85% efficient and
produce much less heat than older Class AB circuit designs. You could roast a
pig on the heat sinks required on an AB amplifier producing similar power output
as the GS-A3 Amplifier Module.
(B) Seat the DB-25 Connector on the Amplifier Module Input Connector and
secure with the mounting screws.
(C) Connect the XLR breakout to the outputs of the DSP Processor as follows:
