  • Page 7: Safety Instructions

    Safety instructions Safety instructions Intended use Use the device only as described in this user manual. Any other use or use under other oper‐ ating conditions is considered to be improper and may result in personal injury or property damage. No liability will be assumed for damages resulting from improper use. This device may be used only by persons with sufficient physical, sensorial, and intellectual abilities and having corresponding knowledge and experience.
  • Page 8 Safety instructions DANGER! Electric shock caused by high voltages inside Within the device there are areas where high voltages may be present. Never remove any covers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. DANGER! Electric shock caused by short-circuit Always use proper ready-made insulated mains cabling (power cord) with a pro‐ tective contact plug.
  • Page 9 Safety instructions CAUTION! Possible hearing damage With loudspeakers or headphones connected, the device can produce volume levels that may cause temporary or permanent hearing impairment. Do not operate the device permanently at a high volume level. Decrease the volume level immediately if you experience ringing in your ears or hearing impairment.
  • Page 10 Safety instructions NOTICE! Operating conditions This device has been designed for indoor use only. To prevent damage, never expose the device to any liquid or moisture. Avoid direct sunlight, heavy dirt, and strong vibrations. NOTICE! Power supply Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet) matches the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is protected by a residual current circuit breaker.
  • Page 11 Safety instructions NOTICE! Magnetic fields The device generates strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the function of poorly shielded devices. The strongest magnetic fields are directly above and below the power amplifier. Therefore, never place sensitive devices such as pre- amplifiers, radio transmission systems, or tape decks directly above or below the power amplifier.

  • Page 13 Connections and operating elements 1 CH-1: Input level controller for channel 1 Use the input level controllers CH-1 and CH-2 (4) on the front panel to control the signal amplification in the respective channel. If possible, turn this control fully to the right stop (= 0 dB attenuation) for optimal headroom.
  • Page 14 Connections and operating elements 5 PRO: Indicator for activated protection circuit This indicator lights up, if one of the following situations arises in one of the chan‐ nels: • 3-5 seconds after switching on, as the speakers are still electrically disconnected from the power amp.
  • Page 15 Connections and operating elements 8 POWER: Power indicator light Lights up when the unit is turned on. 9 POWER: On / off switch (9) This switch turns the power on and off. When switching on the protection circuits are activated. After a few seconds you will hear two "clicks" - now the speakers are electrically connected to the amplifier and the device is ready to operate.

  • Page 21 Installation and starting up NOTICE! Magnetic fields The device generates strong magnetic fields that can interfere with the function of poorly shielded devices. The strongest magnetic fields are directly above and below the power amplifier. Therefore, never place sensitive devices such as pre- amplifiers, radio transmission systems, or tape decks directly above or below the power amplifier.

  • Page 26: Tips On Handling Speakers

    Installation and starting up 4.2 Tips on handling speakers We recommend you to set up the speakers in a way, that the sound signals can reach the audi‐ ence unobstructedly. It will often be helpful to mount the speakers on tripods. Thus, the sound will be evenly spread with maximum range throughout the audience area.
  • Page 27: More Useful Tips

    Installation and starting up 4.3 More useful tips Possible operation modes Depending on the individual application, the amplifier can be used in different operation modes: Stereo mode The two amplifier channels operate independently of one another, either channel (CH1 and CH2) is amplified and connected to loudspeakers, the volume can be controlled separately for the two outputs.
  • Page 28 Example: If you have two loudspeakers with the same impedance, their impedance doubles if they are connected in a series, their impedance halves if they are connected in parallel.
