S-1000 Stereo mode: 200 Watts per channel into 8 ohms (0.1% THD at 1kHz)
S-SERIES Professional Amplifiers Getting Started 1. AC Power Connections All S-Series power amplifiers are equipped with an internal AC power supply. Connect the appropriate grounded IEC power cable to the power amp BEFORE connecting it to the power outlet. It is important to allow adequate ventilation to the powered mixer as it may become warm during extended periods of operation.
S-SERIES FRONT PANEL - FEATURES AND CONTROLS 1. Power switch: Push to turn power on or off. 2. Power On LED: This LED lights when the power is on for the amplifier. 3. Protect LED: This LED will light up when a fault is detected in the amplifier operation. 4.
S-SERIES REAR PANEL – FEATURES AND CONTROLS 1. INPUT “A” XLR and ¼” Balanced Line Input jacks: balanced input jacks and ¼” TRS (Tip / Ring / Sleeve) balanced / unbalanced inputs. These jacks are designed to be connected to +4dBu balanced or unbalanced line level sources. INPUT “B”...
S-SERIES INPUT A & B MODE SWITCHES The MODE SWITCHES for the S-2500 provide the means to configure the amplifier in for a variety of different applications. The following legend shows the available selections. INPUT A 30Hz 50Hz LIMITER Switch 1: is not used INPUT A Switch 2: Engages the signal LIMITER in the ON (up) position and disengages it when OFF (down).
S-SERIES MODE SWITCH OPERATION LIMITER A limiter is a circuit that prevents signal overload and distortion in an audio signal path. When engaged, the internal limiter circuit will keep the audio signal from going over a preset level threshold, thereby helping to prevent signal distortion within the amplifier and in the speaker system.
