FEATURES
DURABLE AUDIOPHILE DESIGN
This Episode Amplifier utilizes the latest digital technology to deliver cool-running performance from a compact, reliable package.
Plus, it features superior quality components for outstanding sound quality and is up to 90% more efficient than conventional
analog designs.
MULTIPLE STAGES OF PROTECTION
Each channel is individually protected with an operation mode indicated by a bi-color LED on the front of the amplifier. This
enables simple troubleshooting. If the circuitry determines that a channel must be shut down for protection due to a short, only
the channel that is affected will be turned off. The LED for the channel with trouble will turn red. The other channel will continue
to play and maintain a blue status LED. Once conditions return to normal for the channel with trouble, the status LED color will
return to blue.
LEVEL GAIN ADJUSTMENTS
The amplifier has a global level which adjusts the maximum output to both channels. It can also serve to provide a limit on how
loud the speakers may be allowed to play.
INSTALLATION-FRIENDLY CONNECTIONS
Each speaker channel features a five-way binding post that accommodates multiple 12-18 gauge stranded speaker wires. The
power cord is removable as well, facilitating fast and simple installations. The Channel Inputs are high-quality RCA connectors.
BRIDGING
The power output of the two channels can be combined to provide extra power when needed in certain areas. This is easily
accomplished by flipping a single switch. Maintain an 8 ohm minimum when using bridge mode.
RACK-MOUNTABLE
Each Episode amplifier includes an accessory package of rack ‘ears’ that may be attached to the amplifier. The amplifier feet
can be easily removed for clean rack mounting. The amplifier chassis and rack ears are NOT designed to support anything other
than the amplifier. DO NOT stack components on top of the amplifier, as it could damage the amplifier’s chassis.
POWER MODE
Power state can be toggled using the front Power Button, 12V input, or Audio Sensing. The method for power toggle is set by
using the Power Mode Switch on the rear of the amplifier. See Power Mode Switch under Rear Channel Features for information
on the operation of each mode.
Note: The front panel power button is inoperative when the 12V Trigger or Audio Sense power modes are selected.
