POWER PER CHANNEL:
4 X 150W into 4 ohm
4 X 200W into 2 ohm
Two amplifiers can be Bridged 2 X 400W into 4 Ohm
Two amplifiers can be Bridged 2 Ohms - NO
ROUTE SWITCH
1+2 = All four RCA inputs are used.
3+4 = Input signal on channels 3+4 are routed to channels 1+2. Use this mode when you need a band pass filter
on all four channels.
Recommended when bridging channels 1, 2, 3, 4.
The level controls still function.
Copy = Input signal and filters on channels 3+4 are copied to channels 1+2. Use this mode when you need a band
pass filter on all four channels.
Recommended when bridging channels 1,2,3,4.
The level controls still function.
CHANNELS 1 & 2 CROSSOVER CONFIGURATION
Flat: Full Range Signal. No crossover filter used.
HP: Activates the High Pass Filter for a midbass or tweeter.
CHANNELS 3 & 4 CROSSOVER CONFIGURATION
Flat: Full Range Signal. No crossover filter used.
HP: Activates the High Pass filter.
LP/BP: Activates the selection of either a Low Pass filter for woofer or a Band Pass filter for midrange.
MONO Mode: Inputs 3+4 are mixed to mono for bridge mode operation. If 1+2 ROUTE is set to COPY then 1+2
will also be mono subwoofer and the remote volume control will control level.
The subwoofer remote volume control is activated. There is a clip distortion light on the remote volume control.
If you see this light on, reduce volume until the light goes out so that you do not damage your speaker.
AUTOMATIC POWER TURN ON/OFF
1.
The best way to automatically turn the amplifier power on and off is to use the REM wire from your source radio
connected to the REM amplifier terminal.Band Pass for a subwoofer or midbass of a 3 way speaker.
2.
If your original equipment stereo or source radio has a BTL amplifier then the RCA inputs have an auto turn
on sensing circuit. When you connect the high level BTL speaker wires to the RCA input the REM wire is not
necessary.

  • Page 6: Troubleshooting

    You need to get more fresh cool air to the amplifier. Do not cover the amplifier or mount it flush into a hole. If the amp is cold and the Focal sign is flashing, there is an internal fault. The amplifier must then be returned for service.
  • Page 7 > NO SOUND Is the Focal sign light off or flashing? Is the source radio on and is there a sound signal coming from the source radio? Use an ohm meter and measure the speaker wires for short circuit. Check connections for small “wire whisker” that may be shorting between amplifier terminals or speaker terminals.
