GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Rauland DAK Series amplifiers are designed for use with Rauland's

institutional program and communication systems. They offer high-quality sound

and dependability. They can be driven to their rated power output by an input
signal as low as 

0.3 

volts. Their transformer-isolated, 25-volt balanced out-

put matches the output of Rauland's communication panels; they also have a

70.7-volt  balanced output. Their outputs can operate with a split center tap

with Rauland's Telecenter® 5000 and Responder@ 3000 systems. The amplifiers
are listed by Underwriters Laboratories,

The DAX amplifiers offer helpful power connections for related equipment:

three 120-VAC three-pin grounded outlets,

and a floating auxiliary DC power

output (28 VDC, 1.2 A) that can be used for Rauland's Director Series control
panels, preamplifiers, graphic equalizer, and other equipment.

The amplifiers come with black-enamel face panels. Optional brushed-

chrome dress panels-- the RP2525 (DAX6O) and RP2700 (DAX120)--are  available.

UNPACKING

The amplifier was thoroughly checked at the factory. Inspect the amplifi-

er,

the enclosed parts,

and the shipping container for signs of improper han-

dling during shipment. In case of damage,

immediately place a claim: with the

dealer or distributor from whom you purchased the unit or--if the unit was
shipped directly to you--with the carrier.

The following parts are included with the amplifier:

INSTALLATION

The amplifier should be rack-mounted where there is adequate ventilation,

a moderate temperature, an AC power outlet, and provisions for grounding.

The rack should have the standard 19-inch  width and a vertical space of at

least 5¼ inches (DAX6O) or 7 inches (DAX120). It is recommended that addition-
