OPERATION

FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION

4 POWER SWITCH

This switch turns on the power of the unit. Re-
member to turn down the gain controls before pow-
ering on or off this unit, even though it comes with
POWER ON / OFF MUTING feature. In general,
power amplifier should be the last audio equipment
to be powered on, and the last one to be powered
off in a PA system.

5 POWER LED

The blue LED comes on when power is on.

6 PEAK LED

When the input signal level becomes too high, caus-
ing input signal to loss definition and to distort, this
red LED comes on. When this happens, turn down
the gain control until the PEAK LED doesn't come
on constanty or remain on continously.

7 SIGNAL LED

Every channel comes with a signal LED, allowing
user to monitor signal level. A minimum level of
-30dBu is required for the LED to go on.

8 GAIN CONTROLS

These two rotary knobs control the signal level of
the input. Center detented control allows precise
volume setting. Slowly turn the knob clockwise to
increase input level, but make sure that PEAK LED
will not remain on or blink constantly.

REAL PANEL DESCRIPTION

9 PARALLEL / STEREO / BRIDGE MONO OP-
ERATION MODE
There are three operation modes for different use.
To avoid damaging your PA system, remember to
first power off the unit before switching from one
mode to the other.
PARALLEL
Switch to PARALLEL mode, the input signal of
Channel 2 parallels the input signal of Channel 1,
so only one input jack is needed for the signal
source. While Channel 1 input is being used for
source, Channel 2 input can be used to extend the
source signal to other audio equipment, for example,
another power amplifier. Even though the input sig-
nal of both channels parallels each other, the out-
put level of each channel is determined by its own
independent gain controls. So the two channels
sharing the same signal do not share the same
output level (See Figure 4).
