 DO NOT REMOVE COVER.  NO USER-SERVICABLE PARTS INSIDE.  USE YOUR INCREDIBLE WARRANTY AND OUR ENDEARING CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR ANY AND ALL SERVICE. The Ice Block modules have been safety approved by CSA and comply with the following standards: Europe: IEC60065 6 ed.
Page 4: Introduction
The copper winding resistance in those beasts limits them to supply less power and their regulation to less than five percent. The regulation in the Ice Block amps is 10 to 50 times better while being hundreds of times smaller. What you get as a result is a remarkable midrange clarity and accuracy.
Page 5: Installation, Usage
10 A IB10001x1x You must use the earth ground for your Ice Block amp, because the ground pin off the power jack is a key member of our star grounding design which eliminates noise. Also, the ICEpower boards were designed and tested to conform to UL6500 with the mains connection of class 1 (with earth ground).
Page 6: Inputs
Inputs Your Ice Block amp is configured for both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA input types. Please make sure you set the switch to which input you are planning on using to ensure that you get proper gain and a noise-free operation. Don’t try using both inputs at the same time, Cletus.

Contact us if you want to run HF test signals and we’ll advise what your limits would be. The insulated, five-way binding posts on the Ice Block outputs can accommodate nearly any speaker cable termination made. Generally, we recommend...
Page 8: Power Surge Protection
Power surge protection The Ice Block modules have been designed and tested to withstand surges up to 8kV (tested with a surge generator meeting IEC1000-4-5 at 8kV). Still, surges can cause cumulative damage to internal components, so we recommend you consider power surge protection like you would other fine electronics in your home.
Page 9: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Ice Block amps feature multiple levels of protection and monitoring to survive difficult environments. All of the protection circuits are self-resetting with the exception of the “HF on output” circuit that only activates in case of a failure or large capacitive load (>470nF).
