Frontpanel Fig. 2 1. Thermal LEDs Indicates that the channel is in Thermal protect mode. 2. Fault LEDs Indicates that the unit is in protection mode due to a fault condition. The fault can be caused by over temperature of the heatsink or DC voltage on the output. While in protection mode, the speakers are disconnected from the amplifier by an internal relay.
Backpanel Fig. 3 10. Fuse Replace the fuse only by a fuse of the same type (F8A, 6x32mm). 11. Output A Speakon Connector Using speakon-type speaker cables, make connections to both the channel A and channel B connectors for Stereo mode, to channel A connector for Bridged mono mode. 12.
Connecting Inputs. Use the XLR input connectors on the rear to supply audio signals to your DAP Audio Falcon Series amplifier. The connectors accept balanced and unbalanced audio connections. The Falcon Series amplifiers are configured standard with "Pin 2 hot" on XLR inputs. The Link connector can be used to loop the audio Input to another amplifier Input.
Mode Selection The two-position, Mode Select switch (located on the rear panel) configures the amplifier for either Stereo or Bridged Mono Mode. Amplifiers are factory-configured for Stereo Mode. Stereo Mode In Stereo Mode, both channels operate independently, with their input attenuators controlling their respective levels.
Connection Cables Take care of your cables, always holding them by the connectors and avoiding knots and twists when coiling them: This gives the advantage of increasing their life and reliability. Periodically check your cables. A great number of problems (faulty contacts, ground hum, discharges, etc.) are caused entirely by using unsuitable or faulty cables.
3. If all of the above appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again. 4. If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not open the amplifier, as this may damage the unit and the warranty will become void. 5. Return the amplifier to your Dap Audio dealer.
