Page 5: Safety Precautions
The following information is intended to prevent fires and possible electric shocks: The D12 is a protective class 1 unit. Make sure that the earth (ground) contact is attached when the unit is in operation. A missing earth (ground) contact may lead to dangerous voltages in the housing and controls. -

- Please verify the shipment for completeness (refer to the table below - Tab. 1). - Please carry out a visual inspection of the packaging, the D12 unit and the power cord for obvious damage during shipment. If there is any sign of damage or incompleteness to the items listed in the table below please contact your local dealer from whom you received the unit. -

0.3 msec. into the signal path. If two identical loudspeakers are driven by different controllers the respective delays of the units used have to be considered (D12 = 0.3 msec., E-PAC = 1.0 msec. and A1/P1200A no delay). The D12 effectively positions its respective loudspeaker at a distance of 24 cm (0.79 ft) in front of a loudspeaker... -

3.4. D12 power amplifiers The two power amplifiers fitted to the D12 can deliver 2 x 750 W continuous sine wave power into an 8 ohms load, increasing to 2 x 1200 W continuous sine wave power into a 4 ohms load. These maximum output ratings measured with sine wave are valid for minutes only until the unit will switch into thermal protect. -

265 – 400 V Overvoltage Tab. 2: Voltage ranges 115/230 V To prevent the D12 from cycling on and off with fluctuating mains power supply voltages, the switching thresholds are delayed and about 4% apart from the border of the voltage range (hysteresis). -

The fan speed is consequently reduced during quieter passages preventing background noise interference. If the D12 heats up a "Temp. Warning" is given out and the fan will give full cooling power permanently. For further information please refer to section 6.1. Installation on page 3.8. -

We advise frequent cleaning of the fan filter to ensure good airflow through the unit. If the filter is visibly dirty, then it should be cleaned or replaced – see Fig. 22. Never operate the D12 without a filter. Dust deposits, especially combined with damp conditions, could cause the amplifier to malfunction. -
Page 22: Operating Conditions
The table gives power figures for various types of signal waveforms. They were measured on a D12 driving a 4 ohm load (both channels) to the clipping point of both channels using a sine wave burst signal of 24 dBu with a variable duty cycle. The mains power supply used for the measurements supplied an ideal sine wave with 230 V/50 –... -

When using the D12 at its upper temperature limit of 45 °C (113 °F), the maximum continuous output power is 500 watts total or 250 watts per channel. Again referring to section 6.2.1 - (Tab. 7) - the unit will work properly with e.g. -
