FUNCTIONS AND OPERATIONAL CONTROLS

1

The 

LINE INPUT RCA jacks 

must be connected with the RCA output jacks of the headunit.

By connecting only the CH1/2 jacks, the 

INPUT MODE 

switch must be set to the 

2CH

 position.

2

POWER/PROTECT (also featured on the bass remote controller)

If the POWER LED lights up, the amplifier is ready for operation.

If the PROTECT LED lights up, a malfunction is indicated. Attend in this case the chapter 

TROUBLE SHOOTING

.

3

4

The 

BASS BOOST CH1/2 and CH3/4 controllers 

adjust the bass boost enhancement continuously from 0dB to +18dB at

45 Hz for the regarding channel pair (Channel 1/2 or Channel 3/4).

5

The 

CH1/2 and CH3/4 X-OVER switch 

selects the required operation mode of the amplifier on the regarding channel pair

(Channel 1/2 or Channel 3/4).

Position LP/BP: 

Lowpass mode (the higher frequencies will be eliminated. Adjustable by the lowpass controller.)

The HI PASS controller works in this operation mode as subsonicfilter and eliminates the lower frequencies (Bandpass-Mode).
NOTE: If this controller is turned to a higher value than the lowpass controller, no sound is hearable.

Position HP:

 Highpass mode (the higher frequencies will be eliminate. Adjustable by the highpass controller.)

Position FULL:

 Fullrange mode (the whole frequencies will be amplified). The controllers LOW PASS, HIGH PASS and

BASS BOOST are without function.

6

The 

LOW PASS CH1/2 and CH3/4 controllers

 adjust the cut-off point of the frequency range to above for the regarding channel

pair (Channel 1/2 or Channel 3/4). The cut-off frequency is continuously adjustable from 40 Hz to 4000 Hz (4 kHz).

7

The 

INPUT MODE switch 

must be in 

2CH

 position, if you connect only one RCA stereo audio cable with the CH1/2 line inputs.

Select the position 

4CH

, if you connect two RCA stereo audio cables with CH1/2 and CH3/4 line inputs.

The fader function of your headunit works only in the 

4CH

 mode.

If you have select the 

2CH 

mode, the input signal of LINE INPUT CH1/2 will be routed to the channelpair CH3/4. Due to this, only

one RCA stereo audio cable is required and no Y-Adaptors are required.

8

The 

REMOTE port

 is for cable of the enclosed bass remote controller and only to use in the LP/BP mode. With this bass remote

controller, you are able to adjust the bass level e.g. from  the driver’s seat. Please use only the enclosed bass remote controller
and cable.

9

The 

HIGH PASS CH1/2 and CH3/4 controllers

 adjust the cut-off point of the frequency range to below for the regarding channel

pair (Channel 1/2 or Channel 3/4). The cut-off frequency is continuously adjustable from 10 Hz to 4000 Hz (4 kHz).

10

The 

LEVEL CH1/2 and CH3/4 controllers 

adjust the input sensitivity of the amplifier to align the audio signal of the head unit

for the regarding channel pair (Channel 1/2 or Channel 3/4). The input sensitivity is adjustable from 9 to 0.2 Volts.

11

12

The 

LINE OUT RCA jacks 

provide a linear summed fullrange audiosignal to supply an additional amplifier.

The optional BALANCED INPUT is unlike the regular RCA-cables insusceptible against interspersion and interferences of the
vehicle’s electronics. You need therefor a Balanced-Line-Transmitter with a special cable, which can be connected between the
head unit and the amplifier. The Balance-Line-Transmitter is not included in delivery. 

Attend therefor the further information

on page 31.

Never use the Balanced-Input and the RCA-Inputs at the same time.

The 

STEREO 12 dB / MONO 24 dB

 push button advanced the slewrate of the lowpassfilter of CH3/4 to 24db/octave.

Switch only on 24dB, when you run the amplifier in bridged mode on CH3/4 with a subwoofer.
