Page 10: Operation
OPERATION The main application of the SDA-1 is as a studio power amplifier for powering monitors. Plug audio source material directly into the inputs and set the output controls to provide an appropriate level into the next stage of your system. - Page 11 The SDA-1’s heatsinks do most of the work in getting heat away from the amplifier. If, in the unlikely event the heatsink should reach 85 degrees Celsius, the amplifier will mute and disconnect the outputs, until it cools down enough for safe operation. Make sure there is adequate ventilation around the heatsinks if you plan on rack mounting the SDA-1 in an enclosed space.
