Chapter 1: Introduction
Boasting 150 Watts per channel at 2 ohms, the ELAN A2 Power Amplifier is designed and engineered to be the
definitive cornerstone component for any high-power application. The A2's discrete output circuitry easily powers up
to three pairs of 8 ohm speakers simultaneously, eliminating the need for speaker selector boxes or load protection
devices. Buffered loop outputs provide easy connection of additional amplifiers. Using proven analog technology,
the A2 adds advanced features like Trigger Inputs/Outputs to make it the premier two channel amplifier in its price
range.

A2 Features

2 x 60 Watts per Channel @ 8 Ohms
2 x 100 Watts per Channel @ 4 Ohms
2 x 150 Watts per Channel @ 2 Ohms
Buffered Line Outputs
• allow the signal to be sent to other A2 amplfiers, A/V receivers, etc.
System Trigger In/Out
• SYSTEM TRIGGER IN allows all channels of the amplifier to UNMUTE
when a signal is received.
• SYSTEM TRIGGER OUT sends a +12VDC pulse whenever any of the
channels of the amplifier are UNMUTED.
Individual Channel Level Adjustment
• Fine-tune each channel's level using precision potentiometers.
5-Way Speaker Binding Post
• The A2 is equipped with gold plated, 5-way speaker binding posts.
This allows for five methods of speaker wire termination: bare wire,
spade lug, pin, single banana and dual banana plug.
Safety Concerns
Use only grounded outlets when powering this product. Making any modification to the power cord could cause
unsafe operation and will void the manufacturer's warranty.
AC Power Considerations
The A2 requires 3.7 Amps of AC current. When designing any whole house system using multichannel amplifiers,
make sure to provide adequate provisions for all electronic equipment to be installed. This may require additional
outlets and/or circuit breakers tobe installed. Consult a licensed electrician in this case.
