  • Page 3: Description

    DESCRIPTION Especially designed for permanent installations, the DPA-Series power amplifiers offer performance-con- sistent and reliable operation of PA-systems with 2 individual loudspeaker lines, each. Therefore, DPA-Series power amplifiers are most suitable for company intercom, alarm and background music transmission installations in offices and commercial areas, congregation and sport centers, schools, houses of worship, hotels, hospitals, shopping malls and super markets, cruise ships, and other similar applications.
  • Page 4: Installation Notes

    Installation Notes Generally, it is important to install the power amplifier in a way, that ensures unhindered front-to-rear air circulation. When installing the power amplifier in a closed rack-shelf system, please make sure that adequate air-flow is guaranteed. The space between the rear panel of the amplifier and the inner wall of the rack-case has to be at least 60 mm x 330 mm.
  • Page 5: Inputs

    Inputs INPUT CHANNEL A&B With an input sensitivity of 775 mV = 0 dBu and an input impedance of 20 k ohms, the electronically balanced inputs – INPUT CHANNEL A&B – are meant for the connection of control amplifiers, audio controllers, mixing consoles, etc.
  • Page 6 figure: block diagram input channel A figure: printed board assembly area channel A – transformer retrofitting Level Control dB-scaled rotary controls for adjusting the power amplifier’s overall ampli- fication. This control should be positioned between the 0 dB and the -6 dB marks to prevent distortion in source devices.
  • Page 7: Outputs

    Power Outputs – AUDIO TRANSFORMER OUTPUTS The two integrated output transformers convert the power amplifier’s nominal output voltage to the commonly used loudspeaker line voltage standards – 25 V, 70 V, and 100 V. These voltages are simultaneously present at the correspondent floating outputs of the binding post strip. The two power amplifier channels can be operated using any possible output voltage combination.
  • Page 8 Power Outputs - Isolated Outputs 25 V The floating 25 V output is mainly used for driving low impedance loudspeaker systems (4 - 16 ohms). Because of the effect of line attenuation, the distance between power amplifier and loudspeaker systems should not exceed 50 meters.
  • Page 9 Bridged Mode Doubling the power amplifier’s output power is accomplished by engaging bridged mode operation, where the two power amplifier output stages are linked for push-pull operation. In other words, a monaural power amplifier is “created” offering double the output voltage and double the output power capacity of a single channel.
  • Page 10 GROUND Lift Switch The ground lift switch helps is a perfect means for eliminating possible ground noise loops. In case the power amplifier is operated together with other equipment inside of a rack shelf system, the switch should be set to its GROUNDED position.
