10. Channel 2 Overheat Indicator (A-2000 only) - 

This indicator will 

begin to glow when the channel goes into thermal protection mode. 
When the unit goes into thermal protection, channel output will turn off. 
This is to protect any speakers connected to the channel.

11. Channel 2 Protect Indicator - 

The red Protect LED will begin to glow 

when the channel goes into protect mode. When the channel goes into 
protect mode all output for that channel will turn off. This is to protect 
any speakers connected to the channel.

12. Channel 2 Clip Indicator - 

This red LED will begin to flash when the 

channel begins to overload (clip), at this point the channel will begin to 
distort. Under heavy clipping activity lower the channel’s gain control 
to reduce the risk of damage to your speakers and amplifier. This LED 
may glow when the unit has been turned off, this is normal.

13. Channel 2 Limiter Switch - 

This is used to activate the channels built-

in limiter. The limiter reduces the average input level when the signal 
begins to distort, this process is designed to reduce distortion and 
protect the speakers. See limiter at page 14.

14. Channel 2 Gain Control -

This rotary knob is used to control the output 

signal of channel two. Turning the knob in clockwise direction will 
increase signal output.

15. Fan Inlet Grills and Filter

 - A Series amplifiers are cooled by two rear-

mounted fans. Cool air from front grills is filtered and flows over the 
heatsinks and exhausts to back side. Make sure these outlets remain 
clear to allow unrestricted air flow.

16. Channel 2 Signal Indicators - 

These green and yellow LEDs will glow 

according to the average signal output.
