9 Clip limiter Description When the audio signal drives the amp 's output circuit beyond its power capability , it clips, flattening the peaks of the waveform. The clip limiter detects this and quickly reduces the gain to minimize the amount of overdrive. T o preserve as much of the program dynamics as possible, limiting occurs only during act[...]

10 Input filter Description The low-frequency (LF) filter rolls off signals below either 30 Hz or 50 Hz. This improves bass performance by limiting sub-audio cone motion, making more power available for the speakers' rated frequency range. The filter settings for each channel are controlled individually through the DIP switch settings shown. W[...]

11 Parallel input mode Description The "Parallel Input" switches let you operate the amplifier in parallel mode, delivering the same signal to two channels without using a Y-cable. Each channel drives its own speaker load, with independent gain, filtering, and clip limiting. Set switch positions 4, 5, and 6 "ON" to couple the in[...]

This is often called a "daisy-ch[...]

13 FEA TURES & SETUP Bridge mono mode Description Bridged mono mode combines the power of two amp lifier channels (Channels 1 & 2, and/or 3 & 4) into one speaker load, resulting in twice the voltage swing, four times the peak power , and approximately three times the sustained power of a single channel. This mode uses the input, gain co[...]

Be sure the speaker has a sufficient power r[...]

15 FEA TURES & SETUP What are the differences among Stereo, Parallel Input, and Bridge Mono modes? Stereo mode This is the "normal" way of using the amplifier , in which each channel is fully independent. Separate signals connect at the inputs, the gain knobs control their respective channels, and separate speakers connect to each out[...]

16 FEA TURES & SETUP Bridge Mono mode This mode combines the full power capabilities of both channels into a single speaker system. The amplifier internally re-configures so that both channels operate as a unit. This delivers double the output voltage, resulting in four times the peak power and three times the sustained power into a single 8- o[...]

23 OPERA TION AC power switch Before applying power , check all connections and turn down the gain controls. The "soft start" sequence starts with the POWER indicator LED at half brightness.

24 Security panel After setting the gain controls, you can install the security panel to prevent tampering and accidental misadjustment. Installing the security panel 1. Use a 9/64" or 3.5 mm hex key to back the screw out several turns. 2. Slide the right end of the security panel just under the screw head. 3. There are tabs on the left end of[...]

25 OPERA TION Fan cooling TThe fan varies speed automatically to maintain safe internal temperatures and minimize noise. Keep the front and rear vents clear to allow full air flow . Hot air exhausts out the front of the amp so it does not heat the interior of the rack. Make sure that plenty of cool air can enter the rack, especially if there are ot[...]

31 • This could be caused by a faulty speaker or loose connection. Check the wiring and try another speaker . • The signal source may be clipping. Keep the amplifier gain controls at least halfway up so that the source does not have to be overdriven.

32 Problem: hiss • Unplug the amplifier input to confirm that the hiss is coming from the source or a device upstream; erratic or popping noises indicate an electronic fault in the offending unit. • T o keep the normal noise floor low , operate the primary signal source at full level, without clipping, and avoid boosting the signal further betw[...]
