SONAMP DSP 2-150 MULTI-CHANNEL POWER AMPLIFIER INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Powering the Amplifier
The Sonamp DSP 2-150 features
a removable IEC power connector
(Figure 6). A 14-gauge EIA standard
120-volt grounded power cable is
included with the amplifier.
Each time the amplifier’s power
cord is initially plugged in and the
POWER switch is turned ON, all
channel outputs are disconnected
for approximately 12 seconds and all
PROTECTION LEDs will illuminate briefly
while the amp boots up.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT PLUG THE POWER CORD INTO THE WALL
OUTLET UNTIL ALL SYSTEM CONNECTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE
AND VERIFIED.
Plug the female end of the power cable into the Power Connector
on the amplifier’s rear panel and plug the male end directly into a
grounded 15 amp or 20 amp wall outlet.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT PLUG THE AMPLIFIER’S POWER CORD
INTO A CONVENIENCE OUTLET ON ANY OTHER AUDIO OR
VIDEO COMPONENT.
If the electrical service is subject to frequent sags, spikes, or
brownouts, a power conditioner designed for use with high fidelity
equipment should be employed to protect the amplifier.
CAUTION: FOR CONTINUED PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE,
REPLACE THE FUSE WITH ONLY THE SAME TYPE AND RATING.
Source Connections/Selection DSP 2-150
There are two options when connecting audio inputs to the
DSP 2-150 amplifier (see Figure 8):
Primary Line Inputs 1-L, 1-R -
Use these inputs for primary
audio source.
Secondary Line Inputs 2-L, 2-R -
Use these inputs for a secondary
audio source, paging, or a doorbell.
