INTRODUCTION Getting to know your SAE 2HP-D This SAE 2HP-D amplifier has been put through a rigorous and unique testing procedure that ensures that it will last for many years with minimal service requirements. This procedure includes the following: •... -
Page 9: Important Notice
IMPORTANT NOTICE It is imperative that the SAE 2HP-D be connected to a ground via its three wire AC power cord. It is important that the AC power outlet, which the amplifier is plugged into, is actually grounded. Failure to do so will severely compromise the performance, reliability and safety of use of the SAE 2HP-D. -
