GAIN CONTROLS, CH1, CH2 The markings show attenuation in dB. For normal use, keep the control in the upper half of its range (less than 10 dB of attenuation). If set below half, the source may overload before the amplifier reaches full power.
REAR PANEL FEATURES CROSSOVER SWITCH CROSSOVER POSITION Splits a full-range signal to drive a subwoofer and top box. CH 1 receives the lows, from 20-100Hz, for the subwoofer. CH 2 receives 100Hz to 20kHz, to power a full range speaker. When using CROSSOVER mode, connect signal to CH 1 only.
AC BREAKER RESET If the amplifier shuts off after a long burst of power, turn off the AC switch and check the circuit breaker. The button can be pressed back in after a 30 second cool-down period. If the breaker trips repeatedly, the amplifier may need servicing.
