2.3 Proper Cooling Considerations
Because the DSP100 Series amplifiers are convection cooled with no
fans, amplifiers must be given adequate space to allow for proper air-
flow. Do not stack the amplifiers on top of each other or mount them in
a way that other equipment will block airflow through the case.
CAUTION: Inadequate airflow to the amplifier can cause the
amplifier to overheat and potentially become damaged in
the process. Be sure to provide plenty of air space to allow
for convection cooling.

2.4 Input Connections
Your DSP100 Series amplifier is provided with a removable five-pin
3.5mm terminal block connector for balanced (differential) inputs. Note
carefully the polarity symbols on the rear of the unit, and that the two
balanced inputs share a common ground connection. Two RCA jacks
are also provided for unbalanced (single-ended) inputs. See the next
three sections for instructions on connecting your amplifier to its input
source.
2.4.1 Balanced (Differential) Connections
When using a balanced input source and connector, you must ensure
that the hot, cold, and ground pins of the connector are matched up to
the +, -, and ground pins of the amplifier’s connector respectively. Dia-
grams have been provided for standard XLR and TRS connectors.
Please refer to the manual of your input source in case it does not fol-
low the standard pin-out.
2.4.2 Unbalanced (Single-ended) Input Connections
Your DSP100 Series amplifier is provided with two RCA stereo con-
nectors for unbalanced inputs.
