  • Page 3 CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN AVIS RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE NE PAS OUVRIR CAUTION! The amplifier runs on 230V AC voltage. Removing the cover will expose you to a potentially dangerous voltage! Do not use the unit if the electrical power cord is frayed or broken.
  • Page 4 GENERAL The DF1404 professional class D four-channel amplifier is designed for high MkII fidelity amplification of sound signals within a professional sound reproduction system. The amplifier can be operated in a four-channel mode, three-channel mode (one pair of channels bridged) or two-channel mode (both pairs of channels bridged). To ensure the most advantageous and faultless operation of the amplifier, please, read this Manual before use.
  • Page 5: Design Features

    DESIGN FEATURES Physical Design The amplifier is enclosed in a metal (steel) case of 88 mm (2U) height. The amplifier is designed to be standard rack-mounted (RACK 19"). Power Supply Unit All four channel of the amplifier share the same pulse power supply unit. Cooling System The amplifier features a forced cooling system which is common for all four channels.
  • Page 6 When it is necessary to achieve a linear frequency response to drive full-range loudspeakers, generally used in studios or in cinema theatres, the input filter can be disabled (bypassed for each channel individually) with the slide switches located on the amplifier rear panel.
  • Page 7: Functional Features

    FUNCTIONAL FEATURES Overload and Short-Circuit Protection Individual per each channel. This protective system becomes active in case of short-circuited output or overload, caused by reduced load impedance. It disables the output signal of the respective channel for 0.5 second and then the amplifier gradually resumes its delivery.

To link up loudspeakers to channels 1, 2 and 3, 4 functioning in the BRIDGE mode, use outputs for channels 1 and 3, respectively. In addition, channel 1 output connector is interlinked with channel 2 output, while channel 3 output connector with channel 4 output, thus making it possible to use a single NL4FC connector (wired accordingly) to connect...
  • Page 12: Cable Requirements

    CABLE REQUIREMENTS Input Cables Make sure to use only shielded cables whether balanced or unbalanced. Shielding, when properly grounded, protects a signal against external electrical interference. As a rule, unbalanced lines over 3 meters long are not acceptable. Greater distances require a balanced cable. Avoid placing input cables close to power cords or power transformers.

    INPUT AND OUTPUT CONNECTORS Input Connectors Use XLR (male) connectors to connect to the amplifier inputs and XLR (female) connectors to line outputs. See the wiring on the figures below. XLR (female) XLR (male) Cold « – » Cold « – » Shield (Ground) Hot «...
  • Page 14: Rack-Mounting Requirements

    RACK-MOUNTING REQUIREMENTS The amplifier is designed to fit a standard 19” rack. While mounting, make sure to provide unhindered air access to the front and rear sides of the rack. Fan direction is from front to back. It is not necessary to leave empty space above or below the amplifier.
