  • Page 10: Connecting Outputs

    Connecting Outputs Speakers can be connected using Banana plugs, Speakon plugs or bare wire to the binding posts on the rear panel of the amplifier. Consult the Wire-Gauge-Chart to determine suitable wire gauges for different load impedances and cable lengths. The red binding posts are considered „hot“, connected to the positive poles of the speakers, while the black binding-posts are Signal Ground, connected to the negative poles of the speakers.
  • Page 11: Bridged Mono Operation

    Bridged Mono Operation Both amplifier channels can be bridged together to make a very powerful single channel amplifier. When the Mode switch is set to the “Bridge” position, 1 channel “pushes”, while the other “pulls” equally. Thus effectively doubling the power. Use extreme caution when operating the amplifier in the bridged mode. To bridge the amplifier, set the mode switch to the “Bridge”...
  • Page 12: Signal-Led

    Signal-LED This green LED lights, when its channel produces an output signal of about 4 Volt RMS or more (0,1V or more at the input, with 0dB attenuation and standard 40X voltage gain). It is useful to determine whether the amplifier is amplifying a signal. Protect LED When the red LED lights, indicating that the channel has overheated, the channel’s output relay is open, and the speaker(s) has been disconnected for any of the following reasons:...
  • Page 13: Connection Cables

    Connection Cables Take care of your cables, always holding them by the connectors and avoiding knots and twists when coiling them: This gives the advantage of increasing their life and reliability. Periodically check your cables. A great number of problems (faulty contacts, ground hum, discharges, etc.) are caused entirely by using unsuitable or faulty cables.
  • Page 14: Maintenance

    Maintenance DAP Audio Palladium-series requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean. Disconnect the mains power supply, and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Do not use alcohol or solvents. Keep connections clean.
