General information Signal word Meaning DANGER! This combination of symbol and signal word indicates an immediate dangerous situation that will result in death or serious injury if it is not avoided. WARNING! This combination of symbol and signal word indicates a pos‐ sible dangerous situation that can result in death or serious injury if it is not avoided.
Safety instructions Safety instructions Intended use This device amplifies electric audio frequency signals to operate passive speakers. Use the device only as described in this user manual. Any other use or use under other operating con‐ ditions is considered to be improper and may result in personal injury or property damage. No liability will be assumed for damages resulting from improper use.

Safety instructions DANGER! Danger to life due to electric current! A short circuit could lead to a fire hazard and risk of death. Always use proper ready-made insulated triple-core mains cable with a safety plug. Do not modify the mains cable or the plug. In case of isolation damage, disconnect immediately the power supply and arrange repair.

Installation and starting up Installation and starting up Unpack and check carefully there is no transportation damage before using the unit. Keep the equipment packaging. To fully protect the product against vibration, dust and moisture during transportation or storage use the original packaging or your own packaging material suitable for transport or storage, respectively.
Connections and controls Connections and controls Front panel ö ö 1 [CH-A] / [CH-B] | Input gain controls for channels A and B 2 LED indicators [CH-A] /[CH-B] | These LEDs indicate the ready status of the device ([Power]), the input signal level ([Signal] / [-20] / [-15] / [-10] / [-5]), channel overdrive ([Clip]) and a fault condition ([Fault]).
Page 13
Connections and controls The [Power] LED is permanently lit during operation. The [Signal] / [–20] / [–15] / [–10] / [–5] LEDs respond to the input signal. If any of these LEDs light up without an input signal present, disconnect the speakers from the power amplifier and turn the input gain controls of channels A and B down to minimum.
