    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS PLEASE READ BEFORE INSTALLING WARNING: to prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture. Care should be taken to prevent objects or liquid from entering the enclosure. Never handle the power cord with wet hands.
  • Page 5: Purpose And Function

    PURPOSE AND FUNCTION The AV2600 is an integration of a stereo audio distribution BUS with six compact and efficient 60 W power amplifiers. Each pair of amplifiers have DIP switches that allow system configuration for use with either mono/stereo and muting control via a Master or Local control input. Additionally, there is support for paralleling multiple speaker output channels to allow greater output current capability.

    7. Bus inputs and outputs - In a similar fashion to the Master control input, the AV2600 has a provision for a stereo audio distribution ‘BUS’. This BUS allows stereo inputs to source audio to amplifier channels (1-2, 3-4 or 5- 6) when the DIP switch ‘BUS’...
  • Page 7: Dip Switch Setting

    DIP SWITCH SETTING Each pair of amplifiers have their own set of four DIP switches. The function of each switch is described below: AMP ON: (ON is the factory default setting for all amplifier pairs) Amplifier pairs with DIP switch ‘AMP’ set to ‘ON’, have the remote Master and Channel switching of the amplifier audio mute on/off feature disabled.
  • Page 8: Channel Control & Muting

    If more than one AV2600 or other units are to be controlled, the control signal can be expanded to include each successive unit by simply running a 1/8" mini cable from the CTRL OUT connector of the first amplifier to the CTRL IN connector of the next unit (commonly referred to as ‘daisy chaining’).
  • Page 9: Input Connections

    INPUT CONNECTIONS Each pair of amplifier channels have their own ‘Local’ input and output RCA connectors. The inputs are designed to accept line level audio from a preamplifiers unbalanced output connectors. Output expansion is accommodated with the supplied output connectors. These outputs are effectively a direct pass through from the inputs. Typical input setup: TO 2ND AMPLIFIERS LEFT INPUT C T R L 1 / 2...
  • Page 10: Level Control Defeat

    VOL AND NO VOL JUMPERS When reconfiguring the AV2600 to NOT USE the level control, simply move the desired jumper from the ‘VOL’ (default) and place it across the ‘NO VOL’ pins. Note: the level control should be disabled for each paralleled amplifier channel.
  • Page 11: High Current (Mono) Usage

    HIGH CURRENT (MONO) USAGE The AV2600 has up to six output channels that may be paralleled (mono). This feature allows the amplifier to increase its output power into lower impedance speakers. Set all ‘AMP ON’, ‘L + R’ and ‘BUS’ DIP switches to the ‘ON’...
  • Page 12: System Installation

    SYSTEM INSTALLATION There will most likely be a number of cables involved in the installation of your home entertainment system. Preplanning is essential in order to maximize system efficiency. We recommend the following as a means of helping you reach that goal. Make a diagram of your proposed system by laying out the relative location of each component in the system.
