Chapter Overview front and rear panel Front panel overview 2. Satellite gain controls 3. Subwoofer gain control 1. Power Switch 4. Indicator LED’s Description 1. Power switch: By means of the power switch, the amplifier can be turned ON and OFF. When the amplifier is switched on, the blue LED located above the power button will illuminate.
The connection is made by an IEC power connector and is fitted with a fuse. When replacing the fuse, make sure that the value of the replacement fuse matches the value of the original fuse. (T4AL/250V for DPA73 & T6.3AH/250V for DPA153) 6. Crossover mode switch: By means of this switch, the crossover mode can be selected between two different operation modes.

7. Input connections: The input connections of the amplifier are performed using balanced XLR connectors. Every channel has an XLR input connector and a XLR link output connector. The input signal from the signal source, pre-amplifier or mixer should be connected to the XLR input connections. And by means of the XLR link output connectors, the signal can be linked through to multiple amplifiers.
Chapter Connecting the Amplifier Input connections The input connections of the amplifier are performed using balanced XLR connectors. Every channel has an XLR input connector and a XLR link output connector. The input signal from the signal source, pre-amplifier or mixer should be connected to the XLR input connections.

2) Bridge mono Mode: In bridged mono mode, the power of both Satellite output channels (Left & Right) is merged to deliver double the power to one single 8 Ohm load. The mode selection switch should be positioned in the Bridge position (Left position of the switch).
Output connections The loudspeaker connections for every output channel are performed with a two pin Euro- Terminal block connector. On the Left side is the output connector of the Subwoofer channel provided, while on the right channel both output connectors for the Left & Right Satellite channels are provided.
Do not connect any 100V line transformers to the loudspeaker outputs of the amplifier. The minimum load for the subwoofer channel is 8 Ohm. Connection standards The in- and output connections of AUDAC audio equipment are performed corresponding to international wiring standards for professional audio equipment. XLR:...
