1. INTRODUCTION

Thank You!
Thank you for purchasing this product. The ELAN
D1650 Digital Power Amplifier has been designed
specifically for custom installers to provide the ulti-
mate solution for multi-room, whole-house applica-
tions. Sixteen channels of clean, powerful audio
can be combined in dozens of different ways to suit
virtually any situation that may be encountered in
whole-house distributed audio systems. The D1650
uses an Audio Bus system that allows inputs and
outputs to be combined in many ways without the
use of extraneous patch cables. 'Class T' Digital
technology and ACE™ (Automatic Clip Eliminator™)
allow efficient use of power, ensuring clean, accu-
rate audio at all volume levels in any application.
Remote triggers and turn-on circuits for each chan-
nel enable the installer to integrate this amplifier
easily into any ELAN multi-zone system or in stand-
alone applications.

Safety Concerns
This amplifier is HEAVY! Use caution when lifting
the unit. Please ensure that whatever supports this
amp is able to hold at least 50 POUNDS safely.
Use only grounded outlets when powering this
product. Making any modification to the power cord
could cause unsafe operation and will void the man-
ufacturer's warranty.
The D1650 is very powerful and should have its own
dedicated 15 Amp AC circuit. If a dedicated circuit
is not available, one should be installed by a
licensed electrician.

AND UNPLUGGED FROM POWER.
DAMAGE CAN OCCUR TO EQUIPMENT
IF IMPROPER CONNECTIONS ARE MADE!
THIS AMPLIFIER IS NOT BRIDGEABLE!
DO NOT TRY TO BRIDGE
OR COMBINE OUTPUTS!
