DSP functions and levels as well as output level and status monitoring of any DPA amplifier on the network. The DPA-102PM is “ready to use, out of the box” with no configuration or network connectivity required and is a cost effective solution even in applications that do not require processing or network control..
Channel 1 & 2 Clip LED The Clip LEDs will illuminate Red if either channel of the DPA-102PM reaches maximum output power or if a fault is detected within the amplifier. The DPA-102PM features an adjustable limiter circuit which helps prevent the amplifier from hard clipping. An occasional flash of the LED is OK but if the LED illuminates continuously reduce the input level of the amp.
Note: For unbalanced signals connect the (–) and (GND) pins together. Speaker Connection A removable Phoenix type connector is supplied to connect your speakers to the DPA-102PM. It is recommended to use class 3 rated, 16-gauge wire or higher for speaker wiring.
Cabling The DPA-102PM can be used with either balanced or unbalanced sources, provided the proper cabling is used. A balanced line is defined as two-conductor shielded cable with the two center conductors carrying the same signal but of opposite polarity when referenced to ground.
Turn off all equipment before making connections. The amplifier can be mounted in a standard width 19" rack using the optional rack mount kit, PA702-RMK, or it can be mounted in an Atlas Sound WMA or AWR half width rack cabinet. It can be mounted above or below anything that does not generate excessive heat.
