INTrODuCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the Phonic Icon 300 or 700
power amplifier. The Icon Series is a line of professional power
amplifiers specifically designed for contracting application.
These two models each has independent channels and is
available for driving 200V, 140V, 100V, 70V, 50V or 25V
"constant voltage" lines. Each channel has its own power
transformer (toroidal type) secondary to provide maximum audio
separation (minimum sound leakage) between two channels,
minimizing interaction that can otherwise occur on amplifiers
with a common power supply.

fEaTurES

● Automatic dual-speed, high efficiency fan cooling
● Rear panel detented gain controls for security and
resetability
● Stereo, bridge or parallel operating modes
● XLR and barrier strip inputs
● XLR in and outs for multiple amplifier operation & easy
signal pass-through
● Fully short-circuit, temperature and DC offset protection
● Barrier strip connection determines output mode - 25V, 70V,
100V and direct outputs available simultaneously
● Toroidal output transformers provide full electrical isolation
and meet worldwide safety agency approval
● Built-in 45 Hz subsonic filter prevents speaker transformer
saturation with minimal effect on program material
● Power-up muting

PrECauTIONS

1. When first powering up the amp, keep the amplifier gain
controls all the off, in order to block potentially damaging or
annoying sounds caused by defective cables or hookups.
When turning up the gain, do it gradually, until normal
operation is verified. These precautions are necessary with
all high-power amplifiers, since they have enough power to
blow most speakers in abnormal situations.
2. Check the AV Voltage before connecting the AC plug
3. Speaker Output Shock Hazard! The Icon 300 and 700 amps
are capable of producing hazardous output voltages. To
avoid electrical shock, make sure the cover is in place over
the output terminals, and do not touch any exposed speaker
wiring while the amplifier is operating.

Please be reminded that a power amplifier is a high-current,
high-power device and should be treated with respect and care.
Please read this manual before connecting and operating your
unit, and file it in a safe place for future reference.
