POWER AMPLIFIER INTRODuCTION Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Atlas Sound CP400/CP700 dual channel power amplifier. This product is a professional grade audio power amplifier specifically designed for demanding contractor applications and engineered to provide years of faithful service. Two independent channels driven by separate power supplies ensure maximum channel separation and ultra low distortion figures.
CP400 & CP700 COMMERCIAL POWER AMPLIFIER FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION PROTECT LIMIT SIGNAL CH-1 1. Power Switch This rocker switch supplies power to the amplifier. A red LED located above the power CH-1 switch will illuminate when the amplifier is switched on.
4. Limit LED Indicator PROTECT PROTECT The CP400 and CP700 come equipped with limiter circuitry and LEDs to indicate when this circuitry is LIMIT LIMIT activated. The limiter circuitry engages only when the input signals reach a specific, factory set...

“-” terminal and the positive lead to the “+” terminal. For high power applications, use the proper gauge wire for the speaker connections. Contact Atlas Sound Tech Support (1-800-876-3333) for assistance in determining the proper size wire. 11. CH1/CH2, 25/70.7/100V Speaker Outputs The amplifier will drive constant voltage speaker loads for use in commercial business music/paging systems and sound masking systems.
CP400 & CP700 COMMERCIAL POWER AMPLIFIER INPuT WIRINg Balanced Inputs Balanced input wiring requires two conductors with shield (22-gauge is the most common). The use of crimp type spade lugs is highly recommended for permanent installations. At the input section located on the rear of the amplifier, wire the “hot”/positive lead to the “+”...
CP400 & CP700 COMMERCIAL POWER AMPLIFIER unbalanced Input Unbalanced wiring typically is found on consumer equipment (CD players, DVD players, etc.) and is generally a compromise of noise rejection and cable lengths. A single conductor and an overall shield are most common, as in the standard cables supplied with consumer equipment. Keep unbalanced wire lengths within 10' between equipment, wire the hot lead to the “+”...
“-” terminal. The use of heavy gauge wiring is recommended to avoid voltage drops, which can occur as a result of wasted power in the cable. Contact Atlas Sound Tech Support (1-800-876-3333) for sug- gestions on cable capacities. Be sure you know the quantity of speakers and cable lengths before calling (Figure 5).

CP400 & CP700 COMMERCIAL POWER AMPLIFIER Bridge Mono Configuration (Direct Coupled) If higher power levels are required, the Atlas amplifier can be used in Bridge Mono mode, which utilizes both channels of the amp across the speaker load. With the amplifier turned OFF, move the rear mounted selector switch to the “Bridge” position and connect the input signal to channel one.
