The MHD600/4-24V has two separate input 

sections, one for the “Front” left and right 
channels and another for the “Rear” left and right 
channels. Each section consists of a pair of RCA-
type input jacks on the Connection Panel of the 
amplifier and a pair of input controls on the 
Control Panel of the amplifier: an “Input Voltage” 
switch and an “Input Sens.” rotary control.  

“inPut mode” switcH

The Control Panel houses an “Input 

Mode” switch located under the “General Setup” 
heading. This switch allows operation of all four 
amplifier channels with only one pair of input 
signals or with independent front and rear input 
signal pairs.

 

To use separate inputs for the “Front” and 

“Rear” amplifier sections, (in order to permit 
front-to-rear fading, for example), select “4 Ch.” 
on the “Input Mode” switch. In this mode, you 
must connect separate pairs of input cables to the 

“Front” and “Rear” amplifier inputs.

To operate all four channels of the  MHD600/4-

24V with a single pair of stereo inputs, select the  

“2 Ch.” position on the “Input Mode” switch and 
connect a single pair of input cables to the “Front” 
input jacks only.  In this mode, the amplifier will 
route the signals connected to the “Front” inputs 
to the Front and Rear amplifier channels.

cHannel control sections 

Flanking the “General Setup” section 

on the Control Panel of the amplifer are 
two sets of identical controls: one for the 

“Rear Channel Controls” (on the left side) 
and one for the “Front Channel Controls” 
of the amplifier (on the right side). 

In each of these sections you will find an 

“Input Voltage” range switch and a rotary 
control labeled “Input Sens.” (Input Sensitivity). 
These controls are designed to match the input 
sensitivity of the MHD600/4-24V to the specific 
signal source that is feeding it and must be 
adjusted, with care, following the procedures 
outlined in this manual. Failure to make correct 
adjustments can result in weak output, excessive 
distortion and/or undesirable noise in the audio 
output of the amplifier! 

 

Note: The Channel Control sections also house 

“Filter Mode”“Filter Slope” and “Filter Freq.” 
controls. These are crossover filter controls 
and will be discussed in the next section of this 
manual. This section will explain the Input 
Controls only.
