Basic Setup - Crest Audio CPX1500 Owner's Manual

Basic setup

Rack mount the amplifier in the location where it is to be used, remembering to
allow for adequate access and cooling space. Make all the connections to the
proper INPUT connectors on the desired channel. Select the proper mode con-
figuration (STEREO or BRIDGE). Connect speakers to the proper OUTPUT con-
nectors, reviewing carefully the impedance and phase considerations. With the
POWER switch OFF, connect the IEC cord to the amplifier and then to a suitable
electrical outlet to allow proper current draw. With both channel gain (dB) controls
at their fully counterclockwise (-8) settings, turn the POWER switch to ON, and
slowly raise the gain controls to desired settings. Please carefully review this
manual. It covers all this information in greater detail.
maintenance
CPX amplifiers require no routine maintenance other than checking the cooling
fans to make sure they're unblocked and working.
If the amplifier is used in an extremely dusty or smoky environment , the unit
should be periodically " blown free " ( using compressed air ) of any foreign mat-
ter that may have built up inside the unit.
Users will not need to make any adjustments to the amplifier during it's lifetime.
There are no user-serviceable parts or adjustments that require opening the
amplifier.
