INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of a fantastic MAX
series power amplifier from Phonic. Based on years
of experience in designing and manufacturing profes-
sional audio equipment, we at Phonic designed this

speed depending on the temperature of the machine
during operation, MAX power amps are always able to
perform. Its professional quality output and its sturdy
case design make this unit great for various locations
like churches, concert tours, stages, disco, pubs, or
any place that requires amplifier installation.
This unit is designed with great care and great atten-
tion to details, so please read this manual carefully.

INSTALLATION

MOUNTING THE UNIT
Designed to fit into a standard 19-inch rack, this unit
only takes up 2 units of rack space. Secure the unit
with 4 rack-mount screws and cup washers. In gen-
eral, power amplifiers usually are heavier than any
other audio equipment, so when installing this unit
onto a rack, begin placing it from the bottom of the
rack. Leave 1-rack space between power amplifiers
and other devices to guarantee better cooling (see
Figure 1).
PLEASE NOTE
● Check the AC voltage before connecting the power
plug to the outlet. Make sure the AC power supply
shares the same voltage used in your country (For
example, while some countries use 100V, others
use 120V, 230V, or 240V). Please ensure your
device is properly grounded. Under no circum-
stances should the ground pin be removed from
the AC power cable.
● Before turning on the power, make sure the gain
controls are turned all the way down to prevent
other equipment from harm.
● Check your cables regularly and label each end
clearly for easy identification.
● Always turn the power off before connecting to and
disconnecting from the unit.
● NEVER use solvents to clean the unit. Clean it with
a soft and damp or dry cloth.
