FEATURES • 4 CHANNEL AMPLIFIER These quad amplifier has 4CH Amplifier circuit in the one unit. • SUBSTANTIAL PROTECTION CIRCUITARY To insure stability and reliability against over current and overheating extra protection circuitary is provided. In addition, turn on delay and DC detection circuitary is provided to protect the loud-speaker. •...
CHANNEL2 1. POWER SWITCH AND INDICATOR Lights whenever the QD-4240/4480 is powered on use this to power the QD-4240/4480 on or off. 2. PROTECTION INDICATOR This red LED indicator lights up for approximately six seconds when the amplifier is powered ON, indicating that the soft-start protection system is working.

4. AC POWER Plug this AC input cord into AC outlet. FANS (QD-4240/4480) The fans should be kept free of all obstructions and be accessible to cool fresh air when possible. It is important that the fans be used in a dust free environment.
SPEAKER IMPEDANCE QD-4240/QD-4480 series amplifier has three operating modes: Stereo, Bridged and Parallel and allows you to connect multiple speaker systems in parallel. Therefore, the minimum speaker impedance various depending on the combination of these speakers. Be sure that the speaker impedance falls below the specified impedance.
The output capacity of this amplifier is high: 120W 4CH (4Ω) in stereo and 240W 2CH (8Ω) in monaural on the QD-4480: 60W 4CH (4Ω) in stereo and 120W 2CH (8Ω) in monaural on the QD-4240. Besure to use a speaker system that has sufficient input capacity.
Use the following formula to determine the fuse capacity according to the speaker’s input capacity. Po = I P0 [W] : Speaker’s continuous input capacity (noise or RMS) R [Ω] : Speaker’s nominal impedance I [A] : Required fuse capacity ex.) Speaker’s continuous input capacity: 100W Speaker’s impedance: 8Ω...
