1 Introduction

1.1 Welcome

Thank you for choosing an Dynacord DSA series amplifier. Please take time to consult this manual so that you can
understand all the features built into your Dynacord amplifier and fully utilize all its performance capabilities.

1.2 Unpacking and Inspection

Carefully open the packaging and take out the power amplifier. Inspect the power amp's enclosure for damages that might
have happened during transportation. Each amplifier is examined and tested in detail before leaving the manufacturing site to
ensure that it arrives in perfect condition at your place. Please inform the transport company immediately, if the power
amplifier shows any damage. Being the addressee, you are the only person who can claim damages in transit. Keep the
cardboard box and all packaging materials for inspection by the transport company.
Keeping the cardboard box including all packing materials is also recommended, if the power amplifier shows no external
damages.
CAUTION:
Do not ship the power amp in any other but its original packaging.
When shipping the power amp, make sure to always use its original box and packaging materials. Packing
the power amplifier like it was packed by the manufacturer guarantees optimum protection from transport damage.

1.4 Features and Description

Dynacord DIGITAL SYSTEM AMPLIFIER Series amplifiers offer a package of reliable high output power, high efficiency and
legendary pro audio performance. They are the premium choice as system drive for a variety of Dynacord's installation

DC as well as back-EMF and inrush current. Loudspeakers are protected by turn-on-delay relays.

1.5 Responsibility of the User

Speaker System Damage
DSA power amps provide extremely high power output that might be dangerous for human beings as well as for the
connected speaker systems. High output voltages can damage or even destroy the connected speaker systems, especially,
when the DSA amplifier is operated in bridged mode. Prior to connecting any loudspeakers, make sure to check the speaker
system's specifications for continuous and peak power handling capacities. Even if amplification has been reduced through
lowering the input level controls on the amplifier's front panel, it is still possible to achieve full power output with a sufficiently
high input signal.
Danger at the Loudspeaker/Power Outputs
DSA amplifiers are capable of producing dangerously high voltage output that is present at the output connectors. To protect
yourself from electric shock, do not touch any blank speaker cables during operation of the power amp.
