    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CAUTION CAUTION WARNING WARNING CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER. NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE, REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. THIS SYMBOL IS TO ALERT YOU OF THE PRESENCE OF UNINSULATED DANGER- OUS VOLTAGE WITHIN THE UNIT'S ENCLOSURE THAT MAY BE OF SUFFI- CIENT MAGNITUDE TO CONSTITUTE A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.

  • Page 3: Introduction

    Although its operation is fairly simple, in order to operate your amplifier properly and to realize all of the capabilites of the S12.5 we recommend that you read this entire manual carefully.

    AC input, is set to the appropriate voltage for your country. When changing voltages, ensure that the power cable is disconnected from the amplifier. Note: If the fuse in your amplifier blows, contact a Coda dealer or call Coda directly before attempting to use the amplifier again.
  • Page 6 DETAILED INSTALLATION II. Front Panel Control Functions and Indicators 1. The BIAS button enables the bias, effectively "turning on" the amplifier's components, and opens shunting relays that mute the input. 2. The INPUT SELECTOR button switches between the balanced and unbalanced inputs.
  • Page 7 OFF before adjusting the mode switch or connecting or disconnecting any cables to avoid potential damage to your speakers. The S12.5 normally operates in stereo mode, providing a maximum output power of 50 watts Class A (into an 8-ohm load) per channel. In BRIDGED mode, both channels act as one amplifier providing a maximum output power of 200 watts.

  • Page 9: Design Philosophy

    This allows direct coupling without servo circuitry. The unit also uses output followers operating without feedback. The front end of the S12.5 is designed to operate without ever entering Class B operation as is common in many other designs. This combined with excellent high frequency design insures linear operation at high speed, and translates into a sonic reproduction which is extremely transparent in character.
  • Page 10 Advanced tracking techniques results in absolute control of bias currents under all conditions in the S12.5. The main power supply of the amplifier consists of a 1500VA toroidal power transformer with independent rectifiers to isolate the channels from one another.
  • Page 11 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY II. Material Quality The amplifier’s chassis is made from heavy-gauge steel with a half-inch machined aluminum faceplate. All exterior metal parts are anodized or powder coated for durability. Printed circuit boards are fiberglass epoxy with gold plating over a tin/nickel barrier. The gold layer will not corrode, while the barrier layer prevents the gold from migrating to the lower copper layer.

  • Page 13: Care And Handling

    CARE AND HANDLING The interior of the amplifier requires no special care. If exterior cleaning beyond simple dusting is required, any dilute ammonia-based product is recommended. Do not use any abrasive rags, cleaners or chemical solvents on the amplifier. When handling the amplifier, take care not to mar the faceplate. Aluminum is a medium hardness metal and can be scratched by harder tool steels, and the grained surface can be easily marred if the amplifier is set face-down on a hard surface.
