  1. Strømtilslutning:
    • Tilslut +12V wire to a constant 12V power source (e.g., battery positive terminal) with an inline fuse.
    • Tilslut GND wire to a clean chassis ground point.
    • Tilslut REM (Remote) wire to the remote turn-on output of your head unit.
  2. Indgangsforbindelser:
    • AUX-indgang: For external audio devices via RCA.
    • RCA-indgang på lavt niveau: Connect to the RCA pre-out of your head unit.
    • High-Level Speaker Input: Use for head units without RCA outputs. Connect directly to speaker wires.
  3. Udgangsforbindelser:
    • Tilslut FRONT, BAG, og SUB RCA outputs to the corresponding inputs on your amplivførere.

Kontrol på frontpanelet:

  • Hovedvolumen: Justerer equalizerens samlede udgangsniveau.
  • Indgangsvalg: Switches between CD (Low-Level RCA/High-Level) and AUX inputs.
  • Fader (F/R): Balances the audio output between front and rear channels.
  • Level (Digital Bass Processor): Adjusts the intensity of the digital bass reconstruction.
  • Subsonic (35Hz/80Hz): Selects the cutoff frequency for the subsonic filter.
  • EQ Bands (50Hz, 200Hz, 1kHz, 5kHz, 20kHz): Adjusts the gain (±18dB) for each frequency band.

Rear Panel Settings:

  • Input Level (90Hz/150Hz/200Hz): Adjusts the input sensitivity for the digital bass processor. Experiment to find the best setting for your source.
  • Ground Isolation (200Ω/GND/ISO): Helps eliminate ground loop noise. Try different settings if you experience hum or hiss.
  • Udgang Voltage (5V/7.5V/10V): Sets the maximum output voltage af den præamplifier. Match this to the input sensitivity of your amplivførere.
