The following instructions describe the most common ways to install your amplifier into a sound system. Turn off the amplifier power
switch before making any connections.

(Note: Nady Systems assumes no liability for damaged speakers resulting from improper wiring, careless amplifier use, or over
powering.)

  (with internal low-pass)

1. Input Left and Right signals from your mixer into Channels 1 and 2.
2. Set the Filter/Source switch to ON.
3. Adjust the Low Pass Frequency control, with music playing, to find the setting that delivers the best sound from your

subwoofer cabinet(s).

4. Leave the Subwoofer inputs unused.

(Note: Do not connect a speaker load less than 4

to either channel as it can damage your amplifier.)
