Do not listen to high volumes for extended periods of time or hearing damage may occur. CONTINOUS EXPOSURE TO SOUND PRESSURE LEVELS OVER 100dB MAY CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING LOSS. HIGH POWERED AUTOSOUND SYSTEM MAY PRODUCE SOUND PRESSURE LEVELS WELL OVER 130dB. USE COMMON SENSE AND PRACTICE SAFE SOUND. SOUNDMAX SM-SA6042...
If you want mounting the MDF or wood panel, drill four 3.0m/m diameter holes into mounting surface. If possible, test the system operating before final mounting of the amplifier. Mount the amplifier using the supplied 4 self-threading screws. INSTALLATION DIAGRAM Fig.1 SOUNDMAX SM-SA6042...
Do not connect the +12V power supply to a loudspeaker output otherwise this will destroy the amplifier terminals. NOTE: If the amplifier is operated with lower terminal resistance or incorrectly application as described above, both the amplifier and the loudspeakers may be damaged. The warranty becomes void in such cases. SOUNDMAX SM-SA6042...
The input signal of the LOW INPUT connections L and R is directly output to the LINE OUT L and R jacks (1). Additional amplifiers can be connected to the LINE OUT jacks without additional T-plugs and cables. SOUNDMAX SM-SA6042...
