GT SERIES USER MANUAL 1. Features and Innovations All our amplifiers have been designed to give the best possible performance for their intended application and are based on our own uncompromising, time proven MOSFET designs. These take advantage of components which will stand the test of time and give the best possible performance in a small, exceptionally light weight package.
GT SERIES USER MANUAL 2.1 Technical Specifications GT 1000FX Number of Channels: Watts Per Channel at - 16 Ω: Watts Per Channel at - 8 Ω: Watts Per Channel at - 4 Ω: Watts Bridged (A and B) - 16 Ω: Watts Bridged (A and B) - 8 Ω:...
GT SERIES USER MANUAL 3. Interface Elements, Front Panel. (1) Power Switch This switch controls the power supply to the amplifier. There is a short delay on power-up, this is to avoid switch-on "thump" which could damage the loudspeakers. (2) Gain Controls The level of each Channel is individually adjusted by these controls.
GT SERIES USER MANUAL 3. Interface Elements, Rear Panel. (5) Cooling Fan Outlet Hot air exits here. M ake sure all rear (and front) ventilation paths are free from obstruction and air flows freely, otherwise the amplifier will trip into thermal protect mode prematurely and in some extreme circumstances damage may occur.

GT SERIES USER MANUAL (7) Input Signal Sockets These are combined female XLR and 1/4" jack sockets. They provide a number of connection possibilities, including the industry standard Balanced XLR system, which helps ensure interference and noise free connections between equipment.
GT SERIES USER MANUAL 4. Recommended Usage: To ensure your speaker and amplifier system functions optimally, it is advised to read through everything covered in this manual. Safety precautions and appropriate usage recommendations for specific connections and features are noted in the previous section.

GT SERIES USER MANUAL 4.2 Using Bridge Mode: Only use this mode of amplifier operation where the power available from one amplifier output channel alone, is not sufficient for the connected speaker system. This mode works by using two amplifier output stages together in series, using specialised internal amplifier circuitry.

GT SERIES USER MANUAL The previous table is a rough guide for recommended cable gauges. It is important to use sufficiently heavy duty cables (try to use at least 2.5mm ) and plan the use and instillation of sound equipment such that the speaker cables in particular are kept short where possible (under 6m/20ft should provide enough flexibility to cover most applications).
This is a normal phenomenon relating to the behaviour of certain components which vibrate slightly under the high powers involved. The Fans on the GT SERIES may appear to generate more noise than earlier models, they run at ●...
