    6.1. Location and assembly The CA120 is suitable for installation on a wall or under a surface (table, shelf, cupboard, etc.), thanks to its design and layout of its connectors, controls and LED indicator lights. 6.2. Mains connection The amplifier is powered by alternating current through its external power source: 100- 240 VAC and 50-60 Hz.
  • Page 8: Audio Input Connections

    : Turntables CANNOT BE CONNECTED directly to this device because none of the inputs have an RIAA preamp. The CA120 has the following operating modes according to the input sources selected as active: • LINE1: only LINE1 input is sent to the mix bus to be amplified and delivered to the L and R OUT outputs •...

    CAT5 cable between the WPmVOL or WPmVOL-SR wall panel and the REMOTE CA120 connector. Because there is a CA120 WPm type control as well as other types of control (front knob, infrared control and serial port control) the most recent adjustments by any of these methods will prevail.
  • Page 10 Pin 2 (RxD) Pin 3 (TxD) Pin 5 (Signal Gnd) • Receiver IR: the built-in IR receiver gives general volume control of the CA120 and its MUTE ON / OFF function from the REVO-IR remote control included with the unit.
  • Page 11: Operation And Usage

    The system defaults to volume adjustment mode. In this mode, the VOL/MUTE knob on the front panel acts on the general output volume of the CA120. This controller has a maximum of 64 steps between the unit's minimum and maximum volume. When turned, it will adjust the volume while the LED LEVEL light is flashing.
  • Page 12 The full procedure for accessing and operating in these special modes and the options available in each are set out in the following graph: Notes: 1. If the device is in special mode for 10 seconds and the front knob is not touched, the equipment automatically reverts to VOL/MUTE mode.
  • Page 13: Auto Standby Function

    7.3. AUTO STANDBY Function The AUTO STANDBY function (idle or low consumption mode) means you can install the CA120 in inaccessible places and leave the device connected to the mains power supply permanently because when no signal is detected, it automatically goes into standby mode, saving energy.

    7.4. LED indicators • SP: The signal presence or SP LED indicator shows that there is a signal in the amplifier input. This light up when the input level reaches the established detection threshold. • CLIP: The saturation or CLlP LED indicator comes on when the signal delivered to the speakers is close to the amplifier's clipping or saturation level.
