Introduction Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Xpress A100 Subwoofer Amplifier! The A100 may be small in physical appearance but its got all the muscle you need to drive even the most demanding subwoofers to house thumping levels. The A100 is a Class D 100 Watts amplifier that when properly installed, runs cool under almost any load.
CROSSOVER POWER BOOST 1. POWER LED - One, green LED. Green LED illuminates when the A100 is connected to AC power and turned ON. 2. PHASE - The Phase setting allows compensation for subwoofer location relative to the main speakers. Adjust the Phase setting to the point of highest sub audio output.
FUSE:110-120V,T2AL/250V FUSE:220-240V,T1AL/250V 1. INPUT - Two, RCA jacks. Stereo or mono audio sensing line level audio input. A100 will turn ON when a line level audio signal is present on either jack. Amp will turn OFF after 15 minutes of no audio signal.
Side Panel Vents Even though the A100 will typical run cool, the side vents allow air to circulate through the chassis allowing optimum performance, and besides...they just look cool...get it...air vents... look cool...never mind... One serious item...please be sure to not block the vents with wires or other objects that will block the free flow of air through the amp.
