Channel A and B (or C and D) into 
one Speakon. . (Quad or Bi-amp)

 
 

 

Bridged mono

Never connect either output terminal to ground or to some other output or input terminal. 

For normal four-channel operation, connect each speaker load across the output’s positive and negative 
terminals.

 Pay attention to speaker polarity; loudspeakers connected out of polarity degrade sound 

quality and may be damaged as a consequence. 

Keep the speaker cable leads as short as possible, and use a good quality stranded speaker cable. Do not 
use shielded leads, such as microphone or guitar cable. Remember that the speaker cable robs the power 
of the amplifiers in two ways: by increasing the load impedance, and by introducing resistive power 
losses.  

 

WARNING: To prevent from electric shock, do not operate the amplifier with any of the 
conductor portion of the speaker wire exposed.

Make sure that the power switch is set to “off” before connecting any input or output or 
operating the switches on rear panel. See pages 

10

 about installation. 

 

• 

Make sure that the AC mains voltage is correct and the same as the one printed on the rear 
panel of the amplifier. See pages 

10

, about operating voltage and power consumption.

 

 

• 

Make sure that the switches on the rear panel for operation modes, clip-limiters, and the MLS™ 
switch are in the correct position. See page 

7

 about operation modes, page 

15

 about clip limiters 

and 

9

 for the MLS switch.

It is always a good idea to turn down the gain controls during power-up, to prevent speaker 
damage in case a high signal is present at the input. 

UKO= mçïÉêáåÖ=ìé=Ó=pçÑí=ëí~êí=

When you power up the amplifier it takes a couple of seconds to check its circuits. This is known as the 
"soft-start" or "slow-start" sequence. The fans then blow at high speed before going into "idle" and the 
four bottom green LED’s illuminate to show the amplifier is operational. 

UKP= fåéìí=~ííÉåì~íçêë=

The four input level attenuators on the front panel adjust the signal level for their respective amplifier 
channel in all modes. They are calibrated in dB to help setting up active loudspeaker systems or cutting 
down unwanted noise from the input signal. 

 

In bridged mode, both controls must be in the same position, so that the speaker load will be shared 
equally between the channels.
