Series FRONT PANEL Power Switch - Toggles the power on and off Protect LED - Lights up for 3 seconds when the unit is powered up, after this startup period it is used to indicate that protection is being provided. Causes for illumination of the fault LED can include overheating of the heat sink or DC voltage at the outputs. When the problem is corrected the indicator should switch off and normal operation will resume. Peak LED - Lights up orange when the output signal distortion rises above 1%, indicating that the level is too high. To avoid overheating or damage assess your gain structure. Signal LED - Illuminates to show signal activity above -35dB at the input stage. If there is no illumination check your inputs (including the power supply!) and source devices. -

OPERATING MANUAL AND USER GUIDE REAR PANEL Mains Power - Take care to ensure the voltage selector shows the correct mains voltage for your local mains supply at the installation site. An appropriate mains cord is included in the original packaging, if this is not the case contact your dealer. Audio inputs/outputs - The main XLR input connectors should be connected to the outputs of your mixing console. The XLR outputs are designed to through-connect additional amplifiers in parallel, permanent electrical connection is maintained regardless of the power switch setting. Bridged mode connections When selecting the output mode always make sure that the amplifier is powered down to minimize the risk of any unwanted transient voltages that can damage speakers and hearing. -
