Tilslutning af dit system

  1. Sluk: Sørg for ampapparatet er slukket, før der foretages nogen tilslutninger.
  2. Indgangsforbindelser: Connect your audio source (e.g., mixer, DJ controller) to the XLR or 1/4" inputs on the rear panel. Use balanced cables for optimal performance.
  3. Udgangsforbindelser: Connect your passive loudspeakers to the Speakon or 5-Way binding banana plug outputs. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
  4. Valg af tilstand: Use the Mode switch to select your desired operating mode (Stereo, Parallel, or Bridged).
  5. Crossover Setting: Adjust the Crossover switch based on your speaker setup (Bypass for full-range speakers, Sub 160Hz or Sub 80Hz for subwoofers).
  6. Tænd: Once all connections are secure, turn the amplifier ON using the front panel power switch.

Drift

Betjening af frontpanel

  • Justering af lydstyrke: Use the Channel 1 and Channel 2 level controls to set the desired output volume for each channel.
  • Overvågningsstatus: Vær opmærksom på LED-indikatorerne:
    • Signal LED: Lyser, når der er et lydsignal.
    • Clip LED: Illuminates when the input signal is too high, causing clipping or distortion. Reduce the input level from your source or the amplifier's channel level.
    • Protect LED: Lyser op, hvis amplifier detects a fault (e.g., short circuit, overheating) and activates protection mode.
    • Bridge LED: Lyser, når amplifier is operating in Bridged mode.

Driftstilstande

  • Stereo-tilstand: Each channel operates independently, providing separate left and right audio signals. Ideal for standard stereo setups.
  • Parallel tilstand: Both channels receive the same input signal but operate independently. Useful for driving multiple speakers with a mono signal.
  • Brokoblet tilstand: Combines the power of both channels into a single, higher-power output. Typically used for driving a single, high-power subwoofer.

Crossover-funktionalitet

  • Bypass: Sends a full-range audio signal to the outputs. Suitable for main speakers.
  • Sub 160Hz / Sub 80Hz: Activates a low-pass filter, allowing only frequencies below 160Hz or 80Hz (respectively) to pass through. Essential when driving subwoofers to prevent higher frequencies from reaching them.

Opretholdelse

  • Rensning: Tør regelmæssigt ydersiden af amplifier with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
  • Ventilation: Ensure the front and rear ventilation openings are clear of dust and obstructions to maintain proper airflow and prevent overheating. The variable speed cooling fan helps regulate internal temperature.
  • Udskiftning af sikring: Hvis amplifier does not power on, check the fuse located near the AC power input on the rear panel. Replace with a fuse of the same type and rating (refer to specifications for details).
