FEATURES

DURABLE AUDIOPHILE DESIGN

These Episode Amplifiers use the latest digital technology to deliver cool-running performance from a compact,
reliable package which uses minimal
sound quality and are up to 90% more efficient than conventional analog designs.

MULTIPLE STAGES OF PROTECTION

Each pair of channels (or Zone) is individually protected with an operation mode indicated by bi-color LEDs on the
front and rear of the amplifier. These enable simple troubleshooting. If the circuitry determines that a channel must
be shut down for protection due to a short, only the channels that are affected will be turned off. The other zones
will continue to play.
GLOBAL A & B AND DIRECT INPUTS
A dedicated input can be assigned to a pair of channels via the channel Line In connection. Each pair of channels can
also be configured to play common signals from the global input. When using the global connections, odd-numbered
channels will receive the right channel, and the even-numbered channels will receive the left channel. This is further
indicated by the color of the channel Line In jacks (odd numbers have white jacks and even numbers have red
jacks). A switch is available for each channel pair to choose between the line-in and the 3 Global-Inputs. This
provides unparalleled flexibility that is needed for today's demanding custom audio installations.

INDIVIDUAL CHANNEL AND GAIN ADJUSTMENTS

Each pair of channels has its own level adjustment which adjusts the output gain for each zone. This allows the
output volume to be balanced in each area. It can also serve to provide a limit on how loud each speaker may be
allowed to play. Be sure to set the volume at a level that does not clip or cause distortion when the volume is at the
maximum level. This can cause damage to the speakers and the amplifier.

INSTALLATION-FRIENDLY CONNECTIONS

Each pair of speaker outputs feature a removable speaker wire connector that accommodates up to 14 gauge
stranded speaker wire. The power cord is removable as well, facilitating fast and simple installations. The Global
Inputs, Loop Output, and individual Channel Inputs are all high-quality RCA connectors.

BRIDGING

The power output of adjacent channels can be combined to provide extra power when needed in certain areas. This
is easily accomplished by flipping a single switch. Maintain an 8 ohm minimum when using bridge mode.
SUB OUT
Crossover for the low level Sub Out RCA feature loop out is at 200Hz. This allows for a 2.1 system in every room
using a Dynamic Series Amplifier.

RACK-MOUNTABLE

Each Episode amplifier includes an accessory package of rack ears that may be attached to the amplifier. The
amplifier feet can be easily removed for clean rack mounting. The amplifier chassis and rack ears are NOT designed
to support anything other than the amplifier. DO NOT stack components on top of the amplifier, as it could damage
the amplifier's chassis.
