Auto Turn-On Detect Jumpers:
Œ
By default, the amplifier is set to
detect both DC-offset and audio
signals for turning itself on/off
automatically. These jumpers
allow either turn-on mode to be
defeated independently for cases
where only one turn-on mode is
preferred or to bypass both
modes when a sw12V trigger
is available and connected to the remote turn-on (REM) terminal.
Load Jumpers:
Each speaker level input channel has built-in loading to satisfy most OEM load
detect systems. These internal loading circuits can be bypassed (OFF) for channels where no
loading is required, such as when a speaker is still directly connected to the source.
Speaker Level Input Terminals:
For up to four channels of speaker level input connections to
Ž
the source. When set to the 20V input range (default), audio signal from 1-20Vrms will produce
up to full power output from maximum to minimum gain. For factory amplifiers with more than
20Vrms output signal or if volume range is not sufficient with gains set at minimum, select the
40V input range, which will reduce the input sensitivity by half for signals up to 40Vrms.
RCA Input Bal/Unbal Jumpers:
These jumpers select the RCA input configuration between
balanced (default) and unbalanced. Unbalanced connects the RCA shield to ground reference,
which may be useful in eliminating noise under certain source or system conditions. Both
jumpers (left/right) should be moved together if changed.
RCA Inputs:
For up to four channels of RCA line level input connections to the source. When
set to the 5V input range, audio signal from 0.2-5Vrms will produce up to full power output
from maximum to minimum gain. For sources with more than 5Vrms output signal or if volume
range is not sufficient with gains at minimum, select the 10V input range, which will reduce the
input sensitivity by half for signals up to 10Vrms. Use quality interconnects to ensure stable
connection and minimize the possibility for induced noise.
Power/Protect Indicator:
This LED will illuminate green when the amplifier is powered on and
‘
operating normally. If a shutdown occurs due to a detected fault, the LED will turn red. Once
the fault has been corrected or the condition has cleared, the amplifier will automatically
recover, indicated by the LED changing back to green.
