Dual mono - P49 only

Dual mono requires the use of a power amplifier for 

each channel.
We recommend that you use the 

SPEAKER 1 L

 set 

of terminals on your P49 power amps for the low 

frequencies and the 

SPEAKER 2 R

 set of terminals for the 

high frequencies.
On one of the P49’s, connect the red positive speaker 

terminal labelled 

SPEAKER 1 L+

 to the positive 

LF

 terminal 

of your right speaker. Similarly, connect the black 

negative speaker

 

terminal labelled 

SPEAKER 1 L-

 to the 

negative 

LF

 terminal of your right speaker. Repeat this 

process for the left speaker, using the terminals labelled 

SPEAKER 1 L+

 and 

L-

 on the other P49 power amp.

On the first P49, connect the red positive speaker 

terminal labelled 

SPEAKER 1 R+

 to the positive 

HF

 

terminal of your right speaker. Similarly, connect the 

black negative speaker terminal labelled 

SPEAKER 1 R-

 to 

the negative 

HF

 terminal of your speaker. Repeat this 

process for the left speaker, using the terminals labelled 

SPEAKER 1 R+

 and 

R-

 on the second P49.

In this setup only one interconnect is required to each 

power amplifer and it should be connected to the 

PRE IN L

 input. The interconnects can be either XLR 

(recommended for longer cable runs) or phono (RCA). 

Set the 

INPUT

 switch on the P49’s to the appropriate 

setting for the cables used. 

Note: 

PRE IN R

 has no function in this arrangement.

WARNING: the strip of metal on the speakers connecting 

the low frequency (

LF

) terminals to the high frequency (

HF

terminals MUST BE REMOVED. Failure to do so will result 

in damage to both amplifiers, which will not normally be 

covered under warranty.

To allow the power state of the P49 to be controlled by 

the A49 please connect the 

TRIGGER OUT

 to the 

TRIGGER 

IN

 using a mono 3.5mm jack lead – not supplied.

troubleshooting

Sound cuts-out unexpectedly

If the temperature of the internal heatsink rises above 

a safe level, then a thermal cut-out inside the amplifier 

operates to protect the unit and the protection system 

temporarily removes power to the speakers. The system 

will reset itself as the heatsink cools down.

 

<

With two pairs of low-impedance speakers 

connected (6Ω or less), overloads are more likely. 

Overloading the amplifier may cause it to shut 

down because of overheating.

 

<

Note that, due to the high output voltage from 

some CD players, it is possible to drive your 

amplifier at full power even though the volume is 

not set at maximum.

If you are having trouble with your amplifier, check the 

following items.

No sound

Check the following:

 

<

The amplifier is switched on.

 

<

The A49/C49 is not muted (i.e. 

MT

 (mute) is not 

shown on the display panel; the power LED is 

showing green, not orange or red).

 

<

The selected source going in to the A49/C49 is 

generating audio (e.g., if CD is selected, then the 

CD is playing).

 

<

The speaker outputs on the A49/P49/P349 are 

active and the appropriate speaker LED is showing 

green.

No remote control

Check the following:

 

<

Check the remote control with fresh batteries.

 

<

Ensure that the amplifier and remote are both set to 

the same control code - see page 17.

 

<

If the volume does not operate for a selected input, 

check that processor mode has not been selected for 

that input - see page 12.
