Page 2: Important Safety Instruction - Read First
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION – READ FIRST This symbol, whenever it appears, alerts you to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage inside the enclosure-voltage that may be sufficient to constitute a risk of shock. Read instructions: Retain these safety and operating instructions for future reference. Heed all warnings printed here and on the equipment. Follow the operating instructions printed in this user guide. -
Page 3: Introduction
INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing an ART SLA-1 Studio Linear Amplifier - and congratulations: you now own one of the most versatile amplifiers available. Offering a superb level of sound quality, the SLA-1’s clean and powerful circuitry combined with a straightforward user interface quickly and easily delivers the power you need for professional and project studio monitoring. -
Page 4: Installation
INSTALLATION The SLA-1 may be used in a wide variety of project and professional studio environments. Self-contained in a steel and aluminum enclosure, the unit is designed for many years of use. For greater reliability, we recommend that you not place the unit directly under or on top of other sources of heat. -

CONTROLS & INDICATORS – FRONT PANEL POWER SWITCH The Power Switch is located on the front of the unit, directly in the center. During initial installation, make sure the attenuators for channels one and two are set to a low volume level before applying power. -
Page 6: Connections
REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS It is easy to interface the SLA-1 with a wide variety of equipment. All inputs and outputs are located on the rear panel. Standard ¼” and XLR inputs and binding post outputs make patching simple. INPUTS The SLA-1 has two styles of input connections: XLR and ¼”. Use these connections to connect the output signal from a mixer, preamplifier, crossover, or EQ to the amplifier. -
Page 7: Amp Mode Switch
AMP MODE SWITCH The SLA-1 Amp Mode Switch allows you to choose between Stereo Mode and Bridge Mono Mode. Make sure that power is off and that your speakers are wired appropriately when changing this mode. OUTPUT BINDING POST The SLA-1 Outputs for channels one and two are multi-connection jacks. -
Page 8: Fuse
FUSE The SLA-1 utilizes a 7 Amp fuse. Be sure to replace any blown fuses with a fuse of equal rating only. AC POWER INPUT The SLA-1 features an internal power supply. Plug the detachable cable into a standard 110~120v wall outlet. Be sure that the supplied voltage matches that of the required voltage of your amplifier. -
Page 9: Operation
OPERATION The main application of the SLA-1 is as a studio linear power amplifier for powering monitors. Plug source material directly into the inputs and set the output controls to provide an appropriate level into the next stage of your system (and an excellent choice for this are the ART SLM-1 Studio Linear Monitors). - Page 10 RF from the output and helps keep the amplifier stable with reactive loads. The SLA-1’s heatsinks do most of the work in getting heat away from the amplifier, in normal studio operation. A very quiet, rear mounted variable-speed fan provides extra cooling of the amplifiers internal circuitry as needed.
