5.4  Other functions, protections 

5.4.1  Short circuit protection 

The amplifier contains a protection circuit against wrong / shorted / speaker cable or burnt speakers. 

5.4.2  Speaker protection 

The speaker cabinets are protected against a possible malfunction of power stage. This circuit detaches the 
speaker cabinets when power stage fault occurs, protecting the cabinets from halmful direct current. 

5.4.3  Click noise reduction 

The  connection  of  the  speaker  cabinets  is  internally  delayed  after  switching  on,  therefore  there  is  no  click 
noise on the speaker cabinets when switching on or off.
