AVID Reference amplifier should provide you with many years of trouble-free enjoyment. The Reference Power Amplifier is available as either a mono unit (two required) or as a Stereo unit. The basic instructions are common to both units. Any differences will be highlighted in the text.
Sophisticated Protection Due to the high power and current capabilities of your Reference Amplifier, it is necessary to ensure that any risk of damage due to incorrect set-up or a fault in the system is minimised. All Reference Amplifiers incorporate a sophisticated system that monitors key parameters at all times.
Start your source and slowly increase the volume setting until you reach the required sound level. Switching Off Your Reference Power Amplifier may be left powered up safely for long periods, however it is recommended that it is switched off if you are going to leave it unused. ...
Avoid placing your Reference Power Amplifier where it may be affected by external heat sources, or damp conditions. • The Reference Power Amplifier is very heavy, and must be placed level, on its dedicated shelf, or directly on the floor. •...
A normal, unbalanced system uses interconnects with just two conductors (normally using RCA connectors)—an inner core that carries the audio signal, and an outer sheath that acts as a “Ground” or 0V reference. In an ideal situation, this would be all that is needed. Unfortunately, as well as transferring the intended signal, a cable is also very effective at picking up radio frequency noise.
Whilst it is possible to connect unbalanced units to Balanced units, this is not the optimum method, and ideally a balanced source should be always be connected to a balanced input —the fact that the Reference Power Amplifier utilises both connection types, allows the use of both connection types with minimal...
OUTPUT CONNECTIONS Both the Mono and Stereo Reference Power Amplifiers have two pairs of output connectors per channel. This makes the use of Bi-Wired connections straight-forward. If you are only using a single-wired configuration, then you only have to use one pair of connectors—please see the diagrams below for guidance.
TROUBLESHOOTING Operation of your Reference Power Amplifier is generally straight-forward. When you first switch on the amplifier, it will carry out a short self-diagnostic test. During this process, the out put will remain muted. The Indicator LEDs will cycle through a pre-programmed sequence.
