Welcome to D-Force by Current Audio D-Force describes the latest digital technology in amplifiers by Current Audio. The D- Force amplifiers generate the equivalent analog output for speakers by using a modulated audio signal rather than the traditional digital to analog conversion. Because this amp uses pulse modulation, the efficiency is 90% compared to 50% of analog.
Getting Started Amplifier Placement Current Audio D-Force amplifiers require plenty of free air space for safe and proper operation. The following diagram indicates the minimum amount of free air space to provide the proper ventilation and heat exchange. Anything less than this will shorten the life of the equipment and may cause the amp to shut down.
Caution: Before making any changes to the Bridged or Global In switch positions insure that the Master Power switch on the rear of the amp is OFF. Possible damage to the amp may occur due high transient current during switching or from wiring misconfiguration. Global In/Line In Switch This switch allows the user to select the source for each zone from the Global In Input or a separate source input via the Line In Input on each zone.

The tip of the plug is (+). Auto Mode Music. In this mode the amp will energize automatically by sensing a small current when an audio signal is applied. The Front Panel ON/STANDBY Switch must be in Standby mode. The switch LED will indicate red.
Limited 1 Year Warranty Current Audio, LLC amplifiers are warranted to be free from defects in materials and or workmanship to the original retail purchaser for a period of 1 year, provided the equipment was purchased and installed from a Current Audio, LLC Authorized Dealer or Distributor.
