D400/D401
INSTALLATION MANUAL
Volume Controls
Although it is possible to construct a simple stereo system utilizing one pair of
speakers and a volume control, this amplifier is designed to run best directly
connected to multiple speakers that all ramp volume up and down together.
Most applications that are utilizing the full power potential of this amplfier are
NOT APPROPRIATE for volume controls! Damage may occur to volume con-
trols and the D400 if incorrectly configured.
Parallel Speaker Outputs
The D400 is a two channel amplifier with six speaker output terminals. Each
pair of terminals is internally wired in parallel with the other pairs. Speaker
outputs 1, 3, and 5 are common; speaker outputs 2, 4, and 6 are common.
Please remember that when additional pairs of speakers are connected to the
amplifier, the impedance drops in half and the output of the amplifier increases
significantly. This is critical when determining the maximum power handling of
a particular speaker.
