INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing this Monolith 7-Channel 200-Watt Power Amplifier! This power amplifier features seven independent channels, each capable of delivering more than 200 watts of power into 8 ohm loads. A trigger input jack allows for remote power on/power off when a source device is powered on.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW A. INPUT 1-7: RCA line-level inputs for connection to the preamplifier outputs on a dedicated preamplifier or AV receiver. B. TRIGGER INPUT: 3.5mm TS jack for connection to the trigger output of a source device. The presence of voltage on this input will cause the amplifier to power on. The amplifier will automatically power down into standby mode after the trigger signal has been removed.
F. GND: Chassis ground. While a grounding wire is rarely needed, occasionally there is a hum issue when components are interconnected. This can be remedied by tying their chassis grounds together. POWER SWITCH (Front Panel, not pictured): Switches the amplifier between standby mode and full power on.
The identified conductor is usually used for the positive (+/red) connection and the other for the negative (-/black) side. Note: When cutting speaker wire, ensure that the length of each stereo pair is the same. This ensures that the overall impedance of each paired channel is identical. If there is any excess speaker wire, it should not be coiled, as it could create an antenna to receive stray radio signals.
To use the amplifier with remote power on, the Master Power switch on the rear panel should be in the ON position and the Power switch on the front panel in the Standby position. To override the remote power on feature or to use the amp without it, simply use the Power switch on the front panel to turn the amp on and off (standby).
Warning! Do not plug the amplifier into a switched outlet on a preamplifier or other audio component. The amplifier should be plugged directly into an AC wall outlet. 10. Ensure that the volume on the preamplifier is set to the minimum level. 11.
PROTECTION CIRCUITRY If the amplifier senses a short on one of the speaker wires the built-in protection circuit will cut off audio output. The circuit will continue to monitor the line and will stay cut off as long as the short continues to exist. If this occurs, inspect the speaker wire connections at each end and fix any shorts that exist.
