Focal FDP 1.900 V2 Operation Manual

POWER PER CHANNEL
• 1 x 500w RMS into 4 ohms @ 1% THD
• 1 x 850w RMS into 2 ohms @ 1% THD
• 1 x 500w RMS into 1 ohm @ 1% THD
• 1 x 1700w RMS (Two FDP 1.900 V2s Bridged into 4 ohms) @ 1% THD
All power ratings are at 14.4v DC.
INPUT/OUTPUT CONFIGURATIONS
Because this is a one channel amplifier, if both left and right inputs are used, they are mixed to mono, which is useful
for subwoofers.
CROSSOVER CONFIGURATION
• The 24 dB per octave crossover can be adjusted for subwoofers or midbass in 3-way kits.
• The Band Pass crossover has high pass between 10Hz - 48 Hz, and low pass between 40Hz - 350Hz.
• The remote volume control is always active.
There is a clip distortion light on the remote volume control.
If you see this light on, reduce volume until the light goes out so that you do not damage your speaker.
• Phase is continuously adjustable between 0 degrees and 180 degrees. Adjust by measuring frequency response
at the crossover frequency. Frequency response should be as smooth as possible.
• 40 Hz EQ is adjustable between 0dB and +6dB.
Measure the subwoofer frequency response and adjust EQ to get the smoothest frequency response.
Avoid excess EQ boost because this will make the subwoofer sound "muddy" and cause the amplifier have clip
distortion prematurely.
AUTOMATIC POWER TURN ON/OFF
1. The best way to automatically turn the amplifier power on and off is to use the REM wire from your source radio
connected to the REM amplifier terminal.
2. If your original equipment stereo or source radio has a BTL amplifier then the RCA inputs have an auto turn
on sensing circuit. When you connect the high level BTL speaker wires to the RCA input the REM wire is not
necessary.
