QUICK START GUIDE
CONNECTING THE AC POWER CORD
Connect your amplifier to the AC mains power outlet using the supplied AC power cord. First, connect the IEC end of the cord
to the IEC connector on the amplifier. Then plug the other end of the cord to the AC mains.
WARNING:
The third (ground) prong of the supplied AC power cord connector is a required safety feature. Do not
attempt to disable this ground connection by using an adapter or other methods.
Make certain the AC mains voltage and current ratings are sufficient to deliver full power to all amplifiers. DSi 2 Series
amplifiers use a universal power supply. The AC voltage requirements are 100V-240V~, 50/60Hz (±10%). If the AC line
voltage varies outside of this acceptable range, the amplifier’s power supply will turn off and the blue Power LED will flash.
The amplifier will turn back on when the AC line voltage returns to safe operating levels.
POWER UP PROCEDURE
When turning on the amplifier for the first time:
1. Ensure all connections are disconnected with the exception of the power cord.
2. Press the amplifier’s POWER button. The Power indicator will light blue and the amplifier will boot as long as sufficient
mains power is provided.
3. Once boot up is complete, turn the ENCODER counter-clockwise until all amp levels are set to -80dB in the front panel
LCD. (The Encoders affect the OUTPUT levl of hte Amplifier.)
4. Configure the amplifier as described in .
5. Once the amplifier has been properly configured for the application, turn off the power — by pressing and holding the
Power button for 2 seconds — then disconnect the power cord.
6. Turn down the level of your audio source.
7. Make all connections as described in “Wiring Input Connectors” and “Wiring Output Connectors” on page 8.
8. Once all connections have been made, reconnect the power cord and turn on the amplifier power.
9. Turn your audio source up to an optimum level. Refer to all device meters and ensure that at no point in the signal
chain is the signal being clipped in any way. If any of the amplifier’s Clip indicators light yellow, reduce the source
level until the Clip LEDs no longer light.
10. Turn the amplifier’s ENCODER clockwise until the desired loudness or power level is achieved, while making sure the
amplifier’s clip LEDs do not light.
