    The new AMH Series differ only slightly across both the models and both share the same features on their front panels. The above illustration shows the panel layout of an AMH3600 amplifier. It is similar for the AMH2400. The functions of the controls and indicators are as follows:...

    INSTALLATION Power Requirements When wiring for an unbalanced source: Pin 1 = GROUND/SHIELD Power consumption for your model of the AMH Series amplifier is indicated Pin 2 = HOT (in phase with the amplifier’s output) on the rear panel for 1/8th output power. Pin 3 = GROUND/SHIELD (joins to pin 1) Ensure that your mains voltage is the same as the rear panel mains voltage marker (+/- 10%).

    INSTALLATION (CONT) Speaker Connector Wiring Diagram Electromagnetic radiation induces interference currents into system elements that mainly effect lower impedance paths. Radio transmitters or stray magnetic fields from mains transformers are often the cause of this problem. It is generally more difficult to eliminate this kind of interference, but again, moving the source away or providing a magnetic shield (i.e.
  • Page 9: Operation

    OPERATION Level Matching IMPORTANT: All signal source equipment should be adequately earthed. This not only ensures your safety but everybody else’s as well. The normal operating position for the attenuator is the max position (fully clockwise, no attenuation). In this position the amplifier operates at full gain. Faults can and do occur in mains connected equipment where the Turning the attenuator back (anticlockwise) reduces the chassis can become “live”...
  • Page 10: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE Maintenance Only competent or qualified persons should attempt any service or maintenance of your amplifier. Your AMH Series amplifier will need minimal maintenance. No internal adjustments need to be made to the unit to maintain optimum performance. To provide years of unhindered operation we suggest a maintenance inspection be carried out on a regular basis, say every 12 months or so.
