Page 3: Features And Innovations
1. Features and Innovations All our amplifiers have been designed to give the best possible performance for their intended application and are based on our own uncompromising, time proven MOSFET designs. These take advantage of components which will stand the test of time and give the best possible performance in a small, exceptionally light weight package. -

Page 6: Interface Elements
3. Interface Elements, Front Panel. (1) Power Switch This switch controls the power supply to the amplifier. There is a short delay on power-up, this is to avoid switch-on "thump" which could damage the loudspeakers. (2) Gain Controls The level of each Channel is individually adjusted by these controls. Rotating these controls fully clockwise, results in no attenuation to the incoming audio signals. -

3. Interface Elements, Rear Panel. (5) Cooling Fan Outlet Hot air exits here. M ake sure all rear (and front) ventilation paths are free from obstruction and air flows freely, otherwise the amplifier will trip into thermal protect mode prematurely and in some extreme circumstances damage may occur. (6) Output Connectors The Output sockets are Neutrik Speakons and accept a Neutrik NL4FC plug. - Page 8 (7) Input Signal Sockets These are combined female XLR and 1/4" jack sockets. They provide a number of connection possibilities, including the industry standard Balanced XLR system, which helps ensure interference and noise free connections between equipment. Ready-made, sensibly priced, quality interconnection leads suitable for use with the amplifier should be easy to source.

Page 9: Recommended Usage
4. Recommended Usage: To ensure your speaker and amplifier system functions optimally, it is advised to read through everything covered in this manual. Safety precautions and appropriate usage recommendations for specific connections and features are noted in the previous section. 4.1 Matching Speakers to the amplifier: When matching loudspeakers appropriately to the available amplification, it is generally best to ensure that their power rating in watts rms (or aes) is more or less the same for the rated... - Page 10 4.2 Using Bridge Mode: Only use this mode of amplifier operation where the power available from one amplifier output channel alone, is not sufficient for the connected speaker system. This mode works by using two amplifier output stages together in series, using specialised internal amplifier circuitry.

It is important to use sufficiently heavy duty cables (try to use at least 2.5mm ) and plan the use and instillation of sound equipment such that the speaker cables in particular are kept short where possible (under 6m/20ft should provide enough flexibility to cover most applications).
