DPC-2 amplifier models feature a user-configurable dual-voltage
international power supply and is easily set to the appropriate local AC Power Mains voltage supply. A 2-
way slide switch is provided to select 100-120VAC or 200-240VAC operation, 50/60Hz.
Your DPC-2 amplifier module is factory set to 230 VAC operation to avoid damage from overvoltage
conditions at any location worldwide. Applying 230 VAC to the DPC-2 with the unit set to 115V can cause
serious damage. Before you set up your VP-DPC-2 series speaker for the first time, verify that the line
voltage selector setting is appropriate for the AC Mains supply voltage in your area.
Changing the AC Mains Supply Voltage Setting
• Make sure that the speaker is powered off and the AC power cable is disconnected from the speaker.
• Locate the voltage selector switch directly above the blue PowerCon connector on the main control panel.
• Slide the voltage selector switch to 115V for (100-120V~) or 230V for (220-240V~) range setting as
required for your area.
• After having reconfirmed that the correct voltage is selected, reconnect the blue AC Line Input PowerCon
connector and power the unit up.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES OPERATE THE UNIT WITH THE WRONG VOLTAGE
SELECTED. DOING SO MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR SPEAKER SYSTEM WHICH
WILL NOT BE COVERED BY WARRANTY.
Line Voltage Tolerance:
The amp will operate normally (with expected de-rating in power output during low
line conditions) over a range of 100-/-10% or 200-/-10% AC input voltage. The amp will
shut down for voltages below nominal line and self protect for over-voltage beyond 15% nominal line.
CAUTION:
Continuous voltages 10% beyond high line at either 120VAC or 240VAC operation
ranges can disrupt performance of the JBL DRIVEPACK! To avoid activation of amplifier low line/
high line protection which will interrupt audio performance, the system operator should maintain
AC supply voltages within the rated voltage windows.
