TWO-OHM CAPABILITY
NOTE:
The

has internal taps for
2-ohm
operation. To access, remove
bottom cover. They are located about the middle of the amplifier and are set to
4
ohm
at the factory. To change to
2-ohm stereo
operation, pull the quick
disconnects off the taps marked “
4
” and place them on the taps marked “
2
”. This
will ensure safe operation into
2-ohm stereo loads
, as well as
4-ohm bridged
loads.
DYNAMICS IMPROVING PROCESSOR
©
(D.I.P.):
This switch is accessible through a plug on the bottom of the amplifier. In
the on position it redistributes power in the bass region to help overcome factors
in the mobile environment that limit bass response. This is not simply a "bass
boost" but a carefully measured EQ curve to enhance performance if needed.
WARNING
Your new
LINEAR POWER™
amplifier, when used in conjunction with many of
the efficient speaker systems on the market today, can produce sound pressure
levels that are considered harmful to your hearing.
Exposure to loud music may lead to loss in hearing. This effect may not be
readily appreciated because the damage to hearing is progressive. Those who
are exposed to excessive sound pressure should utilize direct individual
protection in the form of earplugs or earmuffs, which are specifically designed for
noise reduction.
In accordance with the
OSHA
(Occupational Safety and Health Act) regulations
for noise levels as they relate to the work area, excessive sound pressure is
defined as
115db(a)
continuous for any length of time.
We recommend that you exercise restraint while enjoying the performance of this
and other high-powered mobile audio equipment.
GAIN ADJUSTMENT
Set the amp gain to minimum, turn the source up until it just starts to distort, then
back down slightly. This is the point where the output of the source is cleanest.
Now adjust the amplifier gain up until it just starts to distort and back down
slightly. This will allow the source and amp to reach maximum usable output at
the same time.
