If this system is operated in any other way, than the one described in this manual, the product may suffer damages and the warranty becomes void.
Description of the device Features The DAP PA-500 is a 500W, 100V plain amplifier. It is a reliable workhorse that can be used for many applications. Inputs can be connected with terminals, balanced XLR or unbalanced RCA connectors. The loop through is available to connect external audio processing like equalizing enhancing or feedback killers.
Connect the device to the appropriate power supply. AC selector Before connecting your PA-500 to the mains, make sure that the AC selector is set to the proper voltage which is used in your country. In case of doubt, consult a technician.
The attenuators should always be turned down during power-up. Connecting Inputs Use the XLR input connector on the rear to supply audio signals to your DAP Audio PA-500 amplifier. The RCA connectors accept unbalanced audio connections while the XLR connector accepts balanced audio connections.
PA-500 Connecting Outputs Speakers are connected by means of terminal connectors. See the examples below. Low Impedance Outputs You can use as many speakers as you want as long as the total impedance matches the amplifiers output. Example 1: Using the 8Ω output with an 8Ω speaker.
PA-500 Connection Cables Take care of your cables, always holding them by the connectors and avoiding knots and twists when coiling them: This gives the advantage of increasing their life and reliability. Periodically check your cables. A great number of problems (faulty contacts, ground hum, discharges, etc.) are caused entirely by using unsuitable or faulty cables.
