Stereo Operation For stereo (dual channel) operation, set the mode select switch to the “Stereo” position. In this mode both channels operate independently of each other, with their input attenuates controlling their respective levels. A signal at Channel A’s input produces an amplified signal at Channel A’s output, while a signal at Channel B’s input produces an amplified signal at Channel B’s output Bridged Mono Operation Both amplifier channels can be bridged together to make a very powerful single channel amplifier.

Switches and controls AC-Power-Switch-Circuit-Breaker Never try to hold the switch in the „ON“-position, if it won’t stay there by itself. The amplifier has a combined AC-switch/Circuit-Breaker on the front panel. If the switch shuts off during normal use, push back to the ON position once. If it will not stay on, the amplifier needs servicing switches and controls.

Input Attenuates The two input attenuator controls, located at the front panel, adjust gain for their respective amplifier channels in stereo mode. With attenuate fully clockwise at 0 dB, professional power amplifiers have the rated power (when the rated input is 0,775V) In bridged mode, only channel A’s attenuate controls the power level, while channel B’s does not function.
Maintenance Dap Audio Palladium Vintage Series requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean. Disconnect the mains power supply, and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Do not use alcohol or solvents. Keep connections clean.
