ON / OFF
A  sound  system  should  be  switched  on 

sequentially. Switch on the self-powered units last 
in your sound system (switch on the subwoofer 
before the mid-high system). Switch on the sound 
sources such as CD players or turntables, then the 
mixer,  then the  processors, and  finally  the  self-
powered  unit.  If  you  have  several  units,  it  is 
recommended  that  you  switch  them  on 
sequentially one at a time.

Follow the inverse order when switching off, 

turning  self-powered  units  off  before  any  other 
element in the sound system.

Disconnect the device by removing the mains 

connector  from  the  mains  socket.  The  mains 
connector and mains socket must always be freely 
accessible and never covered or blocked in any 
way. The mains cable can be detached from the 
device  by  disconnecting  the  Neutrik  PowerCon 
TRUE1 connector. Always disconnect the device 
by removing the mains connector from the mains 
socket before detaching the mains cable at the 
Neutrik PowerCon TRUE1 connector. Power can 
be daisy chained via the PowerCon TRUE1 output 
connector (see details on product label).

IMPORTANT:  Do  not  disconnect  the  unit 

while in use.

Ensure that the device is disconnected from 

the mains by observing that the ON LED is turned 
off. Please note that the ON LED can stay on for 
several seconds after the mains power has been 
disconnected.

Normally it is enough just to let the unit cool 

down after you have corrected the problem so that 
the system functions properly again.

The amplifier is equipped with fan and heatsink 

to maintain the correct operating temperature.

Keep grilles clean and dust-free.
Do not block or obstruct in any way the air 

entrance or exit while the equipment is in use.

Air circulates from the bottom to the top of the 

amplifier.

Overheating

This  equipment  does  not  normally  overheat 

during normal conditions of use. When overheating 
occurs, the unit protects itself. You should then 
find  out  why  and  if  necessary  contact  an 
authorised dealer for technical assistance.

Equalisation
The unit does not need extreme settings of 

equalisation to produce quality sound. Avoid high 
levels of gain on the equalisers. Gain values above 
+3 dB on a console’s EQ are not recommended.

Low mains voltage

The values of voltage for de nominal ranges 

are: From 90Vac to 125Vac for 115Vac range, or 
from 180Vac to 250Vac for 230Vac range.

Therefore  the  current  consumed  by  115Vac 

range is double that of 230Vac range, to achieve 
the same acoustic power level.

For 230Vac range, the current consumed is 

3A, with Pink Noise and giving 1/3 Nominal Power.

If  mains  voltage  falls  below  the  shutdown 

voltage  for  the  unit,  it  will  stop  playing.  When 
acceptable levels are regained, the unit will switch 
back on automatically.

The  unit  accept,  automatically,  230Vac  or 

115Vac ranges for working.

Overload indicator

This  device  has  an  indicator  (SIGNAL/LIMIT 

LED) that lights with red color when the signal is 
excessive.

The  indicator  should  not  be  lit  continuously. 

This distorts the signal (quickly fatiguing your ears) 
and may damage  the speakers. Therefore, it is 
recommended that you never work with this LED 
on; at most it should blink only occasionally.
