4. Betjening af Amplivligere
The Stetsom HL 1200.4 offers several controls to fine-tune your audio experience.
4.1. Level Adjustment (Gain)
The 'LEVEL' controls (gain) allow you to match the input signal from your head unit to the amplifier. Adjust these to prevent distortion and achieve optimal sound clarity. Start with the gain at minimum and slowly increase until desired volume is reached without distortion.
4.2. Crossover Settings (HPF/LPF/Flat)
The crossover switches allow you to direct specific frequency ranges to your speakers or subwoofers:
- HPF (Højpasfilter): Cuts frequencies below a set point, ideal for full-range speakers to prevent them from playing low bass.
- LPF (lavpasfilter): Cuts frequencies above a set point, ideal for subwoofers to ensure they only play bass frequencies.
- FLAD: Disables the crossover, allowing the full frequency range to pass through.
4.3. Basforstærkning
The 'BASS BOOST' control allows you to enhance low frequencies. Use this feature sparingly to avoid distortion and potential damage to your speakers.
5. Vedligeholdelse
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Stetsom HL 1200.4 ampLifier, følg disse vedligeholdelsesretningslinjer:

- Miljø: Beskyt amplifier from moisture, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight.
6. Fejlfinding
Hvis du oplever problemer med din amplifier, consult the following common troubleshooting steps before seeking professional assistance:
- Ingen strøm: Check the main fuse near the battery, the amplifier's internal fuse (if applicable), and all power/ground/remote connections. Ensure the remote wire is receiving 12V when the head unit is on.
- Ingen lyd: Verify all RCA/high-level input connections, speaker connections, and ensure the head unit is sending an audio signal. Check ampindstillinger for forstærkning.
- Forvrænget lyd: Reduce the gain (level) control on the amplifier. Check for proper crossover settings. Ensure speakers are not overdriven.
- AmpOverophedning af kølemiddel: Sørg for tilstrækkelig ventilation omkring amplifier. Check speaker impedance to ensure it matches the amplifiers specifikationer.
- Beskyttelsestilstand: If the 'PROT' (Protection) LED is illuminated, the amplifier has detected an issue (e.g., short circuit, overheating, low voltage). Turn off the system, identify and resolve the issue, then restart.
