  • Page 8: Mains Voltage / Selection

    These can be used for "daisy chaining" the signal to other amplifiers. Mains Voltage Selection. The E1300 is dual voltage selectable; it is normally supplied pre selected for 220/240 Volt AC operation only. For use on 110/115 Volts AC, internal modifications must be made.

    It is essential that if the fuse needs to be replaced for any reason it is only replaced with the correct type. The correct fuse allows the E1300 to deliver full power without danger. If a fuse of lower current rating than specified is...
  • Page 10: Installation

    Cooling Your amplifier uses forced air-cooling to maintain an even operating temperature. All Martin Audio E series amplifiers have rear to front cooling. Never try to reverse the airflow, as the amplifier needs a pressure chamber between the fans and the heatsink and this only operates in one direction of the airflow.
  • Page 11: Operating Voltage

    LED’s will extinguish and the power LED will remain "ON". Grounding The E1300 is equipped with a ground lift switch at the rear of the amplifier. Depending on the system wiring configuration, it may be necessary to 'LIFT' the signal ground. When the signal ground lift switch is operated it interposes an RC network between chassis ground and signal 0V breaking any ground loops that may be causing hum.
