•
When installed in a booth or flight case, please make sure to have good ventilation to improve heat
evacuation of the unit.
•
To avoid condensation to be formed inside, allow the unit to adapt to the surrounding temperatures when
bringing it into a warm room after transport. Condense sometimes prevents the unit from working at full
performance.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE:
Clean by wiping with a polished cloth slightly dipped with water. Avoid getting water inside the unit. Do not use
volatile liquids such as benzene or thinner which will damage the unit.
Clean the ventilation holes regularly with a vacuum cleaner. This increases the cooling capacity of the amplifier
fans and helps preventing temperature overheat.
CONNECTIONS
Be sure to turn off the unit before you make changes to the wiring. For the signal inputs we recommend using
the XLR-connections. Use good quality signal cables to ensure excellent audio quality. For the speakers you
must use the Speakon
®
compatible outputs. In the description of the unit you will find more information on how
to connect the amplifier.
FUNCTIONS (FRONT)
1. VENTILLATION HOLES:
during its operation the amplifier produces heat that needs to be dissipated. The
fans inside the amplifier must be able to evacuate the heat in the most effective way. Therefore, is it very
important not to cover any of the ventilation openings as this may result in overheating. Clean the
ventilation holes regularly with a vacuum cleaner. This increases the cooling capacity of the amplifier fans
and helps preventing temperature overheat.
2. GAIN CONTROLS:
These potentiometers are used to control the input sensitivity of the amplifier. Each
channel has its own control.
You can use these controls to set the maximum sound level of your setup:
•
Turn both controls on the amplifier to the left.
•
Put on some music on and make sure the VU meters on your mixer are at 0dB. (from time to time
the red zone is lit)
•
Set the Master output from your mixer to maximum.
•
Open the Gain controls from the amplifier until the maximum desired sound level is reached.
•
Make sure nobody can reach the Gain controls of the amplifier.
You have just set the maximum level the DJ is able to produce. Your neighbors will be glad…
☺
(in some
cases the DJ is not
)
Note: In Mono and Bridge mode, only the gain control of the left channel is used to adjust the input
sensitivity.
3. LCD DISPLAY:
shows all kinds of real-time information like audio input level, mains voltage, working
temperature and fan speed.
4. SIGNAL LEDS:
these LEDs indicate that a music signal is present at the inputs.
5. CLIP LEDS:
The LEDs will light up in the following situations:
•
When the output signal has reached a high level which can result in distortion (clipping). Meanwhile
the current limiters come in action to reduce the dynamic range (current) of the output and bring the
amplifier back to its safe working range. In this case you are urged lower the input!
6. PROTECT LEDS:
The protection LED is on in the following situations:
•
During the first second after switching on the amplifier.
