Power (Mains) Connection

Power connection is made using the included IEC power cord. The amplifier also includes a retaining clip to help secure the power
connection to the amplifier. To install, place the retaining clip toward the center of the amplifier, plug in the IEC power cord, then swing
the retaining clip so it locks behind the IEC connector.

Standby Mode

Enabling Standby Mode decouples the amplifier section from the loudspeaker output. In this state the product also consumes less
power. Standby Mode can be entered manually from the front panel using the following steps:
MAIN MENU > UTILITY > STANDBY MODE > press ENTER STANDBY
While in Standby, front panel options and loudspeaker output configurations can be changed without directly affecting the loudspeaker
load.
Standby Mode can be automatically entered and exited using the Auto-Standby/Auto-Wake function as a method to help reduce energy
usage during times when audio is not required. Refer to the ControlSpace Designer Software Guide for details on this feature.
