2 Applications
This stereo PA amplifier is designed for PA
applications at events, e . g . performances on
stage . It provides a switchable level limiter
to reduce distortions at high volumes and to
protect the speakers . In addition, it is possible
to switch to the monophonic bridge mode to
obtain higher output power .
Designed as a class D amplifier and fea­
turing a switch­mode power supply, the
amplifier is both compact and light . The am­

3 Safety Notes

The unit corresponds to all relevant directives
of the EU and is therefore marked with
WARNING The unit uses dangerous
• The unit is suitable for indoor use only . Pro­
tect it against dripping water and splash
water, high air humidity and heat (admis­
sible ambient temperature range 0 – 40 °C) .
Do not place any vessels filled with liquid
•
on the unit, e . g . a drinking glass .

• The heat produced inside the unit must
be dissipated by air circulation; therefore,
never cover the air vents of the housing .
Do not operate the unit and immediately

unit was dropped or suffered a similar
accident,
3 . if malfunctions occur .
In any case the unit must be repaired by
skilled personnel .
• Never pull the mains cable for disconnect­
ing the mains plug from the socket, always
seize the plug .
For cleaning only use a dry, soft cloth; never
•
use water or chemicals .
• No guarantee claims for the unit and no li­
ability for any resulting personal damage or
material damage will be accepted if the unit
is used for other purposes than originally
intended, if it is not correctly connected
or operated, or if it is not repaired in an
expert way .
If the unit is to be put out of oper­
ation definitively, take it to a local
recycling plant for a disposal which
is not harmful to the environment .

4 Installation into a Rack

The amplifier is designed for installation into a
rack (482 mm /19"); 1 rack space (44 .45 mm)
is required . To prevent the rack from becom­
ing top­heavy, insert the amplifier into the
.
lower section of the rack . The front plate is
not sufficient for fixing the amplifier safely;
additionally use lateral rails or a bottom plate
to secure the amplifier .
To ensure sufficient cooling, air must be
able to flow freely through all air vents of the
amplifier . The hot air given off by the amplifier
must be dissipated from the rack; otherwise,
heat will accumulate in the rack which may
not only damage the amplifier but also other
units in the rack . In case of insufficient heat
dissipation, install a ventilation unit into the
rack .
