• Fixed installations Introduction The ESP2000D is a two channel rack mountable power amplifier. The unit contains two separate 1000 watt amplifiers, two independent power supplies, (each channel running off each power supply), two signal paths, inputs and outputs as well as limiting and low frequency enhancement on each of the two channels within a two rack unit chassis.
Unpacking Unpack the ESP2000D and check to see if there is any damage to it. If you find any damage, notify your supplier immediately. Only the consignee may institute a claim with the carrier for any damage incured during shipping. Be sure to save the carton and all packaging materials for the carrier's inspection.
Each of the ESP2000D's power supply inputs require approximately 20 Amps max at 115V AC for proper operation. This means that both of the ESP2000D's power supplies must be powered from an individual 20 A breaker when running in 115V mode.
Connect the green and yellow wire to the terminal marked with an E or coloured green or green and yellow. Power cable color coding CAUTION: THE ESP2000D REQUIRES A GROUND CONNECTION. ALWAYS USE A GROUNDED OUTLET AND PLUG. Safety Summary To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the amplifier from the AC mains before installing the audio cable.
1) AC Mains Switch The ESP2000D has combination AC mains switch/circuit breakers on the front panel. If either of the switches shut off during normal use, push it back to the ON position once. If it will not stay on you should take the unit to qualified service personnel to have it serviced.
When bridge mode is used, only input 1 is active. 2) PowerCon Power Connector The ESP2000D accepts standard PowerCon terminated AC Mains cables. The ESP2000D uses one connector per two channels. Communication The ESP2000D accept standard PowerCon terminated AC Mains cables. The ESP2000D uses one connector per two channels.
