19” Rack Installation The amplifier is designed for use in a standard 19” rack with height of 2U units (DPA 2000) and 3U units (DPA 3200, DPA 4500 & DPA 5000). In order to provide sufficient support base to the heavy amplifier, it is essential to use the 19”...
Trouble Shooting Key to LED symbols: GLOWING BLINKING Indication: PROTECT CLIP SIGNAL POWER Condition: Normal operation Possible Reason: The amplifier is in normal operation Indication: PROTECT CLIP SIGNAL POWER Condition: No power to the amplifier Possible Reason: The amplifier power switch may be off. The amplifier may not be plugged into the power receptacle. Confirm that the AC outlet works by plugging in another device.

Indication: PROTECT CLIP SIGNAL POWER Condition: Distorted Sound Possible Reason: The input signal level may be too high. So turn down the amplifier level controls. Check the level of the input source. If it is high then reduce the input signal level. The amplifier should never be operated at a level which causes the CLIP LED to illuminate constantly.
