Electrical Safety EN60065: 1998 UNPACKING Every Martin Audio E1300 Amplifier is built to the highest standards and is thoroughly tested and inspected before it leaves the factory. After unpacking the amplifier, examine it carefully for any signs of transit damage, and inform your dealer if any such damage is found. It is suggested that you retain the original packaging so that the unit can be returned at a future date if necessary.
There are no user serviceable parts inside this amplifier. Removal of the cover by unauthorised personnel may invalidate warranty and will result in exposure to lethal high voltage and current. In the unlikely event of a fault developing within the E1300 refer servicing to qualified personnel only. USER RESPONSIBILITY...
10. Thermal Indicator. This indicates the thermal status of the amplifier. See page 19 for a full description. Plug In Card / Modules. The E1300 has the facility to accept a Martin Audio processing module. When fitted it replaces the removable panel on the front of the amplifier.
See pages 9 & 20 for fuse details and type. 2. Mains Power Connection. The E1300 is supplied with a 1.5M, 3 core captive cable. (See page 11). 3. Air Inlets. The E1300 uses forced air cooling for efficient operation.
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...
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.
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.
GUIDES OUTPUT CONNECTIONS When a Martin Audio processing module is fitted it can be configured to output line level sub bass signals which may be fed to other amplifiers. The balanced signal appears on the 5 pin XLR connector on the rear of the amplifier.
Amplifier Thermal Protection All high power amplifiers produce considerable heat as a product of power output. The E1300 is equipped with a very efficient heat exchanger and an automatic logic controlled thermal management system. When the amplifier is switched on the dual fans will start up and remain at a low idling speed.
