REMOTE TURN-ON
Connect the "Remote" line to the turn-on lead from the source unit. When
+12Volts received, the amplifier will turn on.
SIGNAL CABLE
Use a high quality cable that will be easy to install and has minimal signal loss
to guarantee optimum performance.
SPEAKER CABLE
The D'Artagnan5.1 amplifiers will accept up to 8 gauge speaker cable. Use a
high quality, flexible, multi-strand cable for best performance and longevity.
SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS
The D'Artagnan5.1 is an amplifier designed specifically for car theater
applications. Its dual power supplies are capable of tremendous dynamic output
on all six of its channels. All of these channels are discrete channels with minimal
shared circuitry; because of this the satellite channels are not bridgeable. Also,
as with any state of the art theater system, the use of an outboard surround
sound signal processor is required. It is also important to note that the driver of
the vehicle should not participate in any distracting activities, such as watching a
movie, while operating a moving vehicle.
BIO PORT BRIDGING OPTION
The subwoofer channel of the D'Artagnan5.1 amplifier has the ablity to be
bridged to another identical amplifier for double the output by using the BIO Port.
When this feature is used, the master amplifier's level and crossover switches
affect both amplifiers (the slave amplifier's controls are totally bypassed). By
switching the phase switch to 180 on the slave amplifier and connecting a RCA
cable from the BIO OUT on the master amplifier to the BIO IN on the slave
amplifier both amplifiers are synchronized. Then connect a positive speaker cable
to the slave amplifier's positive terminal. Finally connect the speaker wires to a
single load no less than 2 ohms. This will supply twice the power of a single
amplifier.
