DC Offset Voltage at Speaker Output:  Continuous monitoring 

circuit immediately opens the speaker relay upon the 

detection of any excessive DC voltage level. 

 

7)

 

Short circuit protection:  In addition to the Main DC Power 

Fuses, mentioned in #4 above, this continuously active circuit 

becomes active to the speaker output below a load of approx. 

2 ohms.  It will prevent a catastrophic over-current condition 

for the output devices in the case of a direct short circuit 
between the + and - output speaker binding posts. 

 

8)

 

Over Temp Circuit Breaker:  Opens the speaker relay if the 

heatsink temperature exceeds 115 deg. C.  If this occurs, the 

amp should automatically begin operate again after the 

temperature has decreased sufficiently. 

 

 

NOTE:

  

BE CERTAIN THAT AIR FLOW IS COMPLETELY UNRESTRICTED ABOVE 

AND BELOW THE AMPLIFIER.  IF RACKMOUNTED, LEAVE AT LEAST A 
STANDARD SINGLE SPACE BETWEEN THE NEXT PIECE OF EQUIPMENT (TOP 
AND BOTTOM) OR PROVIDE FORCED AIR COOLING.  THIS AMP IS DESIGNED 

FOR USE ONLY AT ROOM TEMPERATURE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION AND 
CIRCULATION.  

 

IMPORTANT:  COOL OPERATION = LONGEST LIFE AND RELIABILITY!   
DO NOT OPERATE WITHIN A COMPLETELY CLOSED CABINET OR ENCLOSURE!     
LET YOUR AMP BREATHE!

 

 

Use and Operation: 

Important:  Do not apply power until you have read and understand this section!   
Connect or disconnect cables only with amplifier OFF. 

 

Note:  Your new Butler Audio amp is designed to operate in stereo with ONE separate 
speaker system connected per channel.  Connect "Speaker Outputs" to speakers only!  
DO NOT SHORT ANY SPEAKER OUTPUT POST TERMINAL TO ANY OTHER SPEAKER 

OUTPUT POST TERMINAL.  CONNECT EACH SEPARATE SPEAKER LOAD ONLY 
BETWEEN THE SPEAKER POSTS OF PAIR CHANNEL.  WHEN USING MONO MODE 
(BRIDGED),  BE SURE TO SELECT THE “MONO” SETTING (DOWN POSITION) OF THE 
STEREO/MONO SWITCH. 

 

Front Panel Power Switch: 

Supplies main AC power to the amplifier.  The ON position is up and 

will be indicated by the blue LED indicator and the glow of the tubes 
through the front panel louvers. 

 

Rear Panel Remote Jack: 

This 3.5mm standard mini phone jack is connected to a heavy duty 

AC relay that parallels the operation of the Front Panel Power 
Switch.  Therefore if remote operation is desired, leave the switch 

in the OFF (down) position.  Whenever an 8 - 13V DC voltage is 

supplied to the jack (either polarity) the amp will be turned ON just 

as if the front power switch were used.  It will not harm the amplifier 

if the front panel power switch is turned ON with the relay activated, 

but this will disable the remote function until it is switched OFF 
again.
