Operating Your Amplifier: Initial Set-up and Switching On
Please read all documentation before operating your amplifier and retain all documentation
for future reference.
Do not spill water or other liquids into or on the unit and do not operate your amplifier while
standing in liquid.
Do not block fan intake or rear ventilation outlets or operate the unit in an environment that
could impede the free flow of air around the unit.
If your amplifier is used in an extremely dusty or smoky environment, it should be cleaned of
any collected debris at regular intervals. Please also see the notes regarding maintenance on
page 62.
It is important that the power output of your amplifier is matched to the power handling
capacity of your loudspeaker. If not, damage to the loudspeaker could occur.
Switching On…
The first time you switch it on, your amplifier will start-up as a four analogue inputs to four
output system, with no EQ or limiting (apart from self-protective limiters) in place. The aux
outputs will “mirror” the analogue inputs (and so initially act just like “link” outputs, again
with no EQ or limiting in place).
The following section explains the DSP and audio features of the amplifier — please read this
carefully as the routing options are very comprehensive!
