    Delta Series – Non-DSP Models Operating Instructions Page 8 Installing Your Amplifier: Electrical Considerations The amplifier has been manufactured to comply with your local power supply requirements, but before connecting the unit to the supply, ensure that the voltage (printed on the rear panel) is correct.
  • Page 9: Installing Your Amplifier: Mechanical Considerations

    Delta Series – Non-DSP Models Operating Instructions Page 9 Installing Your Amplifier: Mechanical Considerations To ensure that this equipment performs to specification, it should be mounted in a suitable rack or enclosure as described below. Like all high power amplifiers, it should be kept away from other equipment which is sensitive to magnetic fields.
  • Page 10: About Your Amplifier: Dynamic Amplifier Performance Measurements

    Delta Series – Non-DSP Models Operating Instructions Page 10 About Your Amplifier: Dynamic Amplifier Performance Measurements The Delta Series are the very latest example of a ‘dynamic amplifier’. This new ‘breed’ of power amplifiers provide very high peak power levels in a much smaller, and lighter, package than previously possible with conventional amplifiers.
  • Page 11: Connecting To Your Amplifier: Line Inputs And Outputs

    Delta Series – Non-DSP Models Operating Instructions Page 11 Connecting To Your Amplifier: Line Inputs and Outputs The inputs are made via 3-pin XLR connectors, which are electronically balanced and should be connected via a high grade twin core screened cable, as follows: PIN1: Screen (see note below) PIN2: Hot (signal +) PIN3: Cold (signal -)
  • Page 12: Connecting To Your Amplifier: Speaker Outputs

    As the currents involved are very high, and to ensure best performance, the speaker cables should be kept as short as possible and conform to the following minimum requirements: Delta 40 NON-DSP, 11A into 4 Ohm speaker loads Delta 80 NON-DSP, 11A into 4 Ohm speaker loads...
  • Page 13: Connecting To Your Amplifier: Bridged (Mono) Operation (Excl. Delta 120)

    Delta Series – Non-DSP Models Operating Instructions Page 13 When operating the amplifier into loads of less than 4 Ohms, be aware that the current capacity of the speaker cables will need to be increased above the values quoted here. Do not connect the inputs/outputs to any other voltage source such as a battery, mains source or power supply, regardless of whether the amplifier is turned on or off.
