Page 5: Introduction
Bass sounds better. Dynamic range is improved. Voices sound full and rich. The D1200 provides 12 x 100 Watts @ 4 Ohms; ideal for virtually any distributed audio system. ELAN uses an ultra-high efficiency torroidal transformer and 200,000 uF of bulk storage capacitance to ensure plenty of power when it’s needed! -
Page 6: Class T Explained
ADVANCED AMPLIFIER PROTECTION Each channel of the D1200 is coupled to its respective output binding post via a high power relay. If the processing circuitry senses a fault condition (over heating, shorted output, etc.) It will completely disconnect the amplifier channel from the output load. Faulted conditions will be indicated on the front panel. - Page 7 4. Typical power efficiency with a Class T amplifier is 85% (unreachable by class A-B amps,) Typical THD + Noise is less than 0.04% (unreachable by Class D amps.) Truly the best of both worlds! ©ELAN Home Systems 2003 All rights reserved 07/03 PAGE 6...

Page 8: Front Panel Function
II. FRONT PANEL FUNCTIONS A. CHANNEL SELECT DISPLAY/VOLUME ADJUSTMENT DISPLAY The leftmost display on the front of the D1200 shows which channel is selected for adjustment. Pressing C+ or C- will cycle through each individual channel. Once a channel is selected, use V+ and V- buttons to adjust the channel’s Volume Up or Down from 0 to 99 (50 is factory default). -

3. Four seconds later, the Front Display will read LOCH. Release the buttons. 4. Follow the same procedure to Unlock the D1200. This is a toggle command. If the user tries to change settings while in Lockout Mode, the Front Display will read LC. -

ELAN HOME SYSTEMS E. FACTORY DEFAULT When your D1200 arrives, it is set to a FACTORY DEFAULT condition. At some point during the life of this amplifier it may be necessary to put the unit back into Factory Default mode. If this unit is moved to a different location or speaker type, load, or location are changed, the FACTORY DEFAULT procedure should be used. -
Page 11: Speakers
RATED FOR 100 WATTS RMS OR HIGHER C. SPEAKERS Each speaker output of the D1200 is rated to handle a four ohm load. Speaker loads below four ohms will cause the amplifier to go into a protection mode and cause undesirable operation. -
Page 12: Trigger Inputs/Output
ELAN HOME SYSTEMS E. TRIGGER INPUTS/OUTPUT Each channel pair of the D1200 has its own Remote Turn On/Muting circuit. Individual channel pairs can be turned on or muted independently of any others. An ALL ON port allows the entire amp to turn on and mute as one unit. The 12 Volt Trigger Out can be used to turn on other equipment, additional amps, or to perform automated functions desired by the user. -
Page 13: System Modes And Configurations
IV. SYSTEM MODES & CONFIGURATIONS A. UNIVERSAL STEREO BUS MODES One of the primary design goals for the D1200 was ease of installation and flexibility. The Universal Stereo Bus has achieved this goal by grouping desired channels together without the use of additional RCA patch cables. By using the BUS A Dip switch settings, any number of outputs can be tied together to the same input. -
Page 14: Mono Vs Stereo
Creative use of mono zones can enhance the design flexibility and sound quality of a well-designed distributed audio system. The D1200 has internally configuarable mono settings for each audio bus (BUS A and BUS B). -
Page 15: Design & Applications
V. DESIGN & APPLICATIONS A. STAND-ALONE SYSTEM DESIGN AND APPLICATIONS The D1200 can be configured in dozens of diferent ways in many types of applications. This section describes "stand-alone" applications that do not utilize ELAN whole-house controllers. These installations can take the form of anything from a basic home theater system in a living room to a hyge ballroom with two dozen speakers! Most stand-alone applications will be somewhere in-between and will be based on one or two models. -
Page 17: Multi-Zone
B. MULTI-ZONE DESIGN/APPLICATIONS The D1200 was designed with multi-zone systems in mind. By using an ELAN multi-zone controller, certain amp channels are designated to specific zones of the house, each having its own separate source selectability. The advantages of this system type are numerous: 1 Each area of the house can listen to a different audio source at the same time. -
