OPERATION
Before turning on the 2HP-D, ensure that all precautions and warnings have been carefully reviewed and adhered to. Damage
to the amplifier caused by improper operation, wiring and/or ventilation will not be covered under warranty and SAE will not
be liable for any consequential damage or loss.
Connecting your 2HP-D
With the 2HP-D’s rear panel main power switches turned off, connect the signal outputs of the preamp/processor to the
balanced input of the amplifier. Connect the output to the input of the speaker that is intended to be driven.
Please refer to figure 5.
The 2HP-D has a second binding post output connector. This may to be connected to the second speaker input terminal on
your loudspeaker system (if available). If using this second speaker input terminal, please be certain to remove the metal
jumper between the woofer and high-frequency sections of your speaker.
Connect a 12V trigger source to the
STANDBY
trigger input of the 2HP-D to enable remote turn-on and turn-off.
Setup and Operation
Turn the output volume of the preamp/processor, or other source device, down all of the way.
Turn on 2HP-D’s
MAIN POWER
switches, located on the rear panel.
When the end of the switch with | indicating “ON” is depressed that half of the amplifier is in the STANDBY mode. When in
standby, the amplifier draws less than 1 watt from the wall outlet.
Touch the front-panel power button. Both the switch and the SAE logo illuminate. After a wait of about 45 seconds, the
soft-start turn-on sequence is complete and the amplifier is ready for use.
Slowly bring the output volume of the preamp/processor up to an audible level.
Remote Triggers
When the rear panel
STANDBY
trigger jack receives a 5-12 VDC signal, the 2HP-D will change its state from standby to
operate. When the signal is removed, the amplifier will return to
STANDBY
.
