SWITCH ON/OFF

CLIP

LED

The clip LED should never be on

continuously. This will distort the signal and
may damage the speakers. In fact, severe
clipping is an easy way of burning a speaker’s
voice coil.

The amplifiers feature an automatic limiting

system that impedes prolonged saturation, but

the dynamic nature of music signals stops it

from being a brick wall protection. Thus at
most, the clip light could be lit occasionally.

LEVEL Controls

The

rotary potentiometer is used for

changing the input gain. Although related to
output power, it is not a direct representation
of it. Thus, we can have maximum output
power with the gain at mid position. Similarly,
we may have the gain controls at maximum
and not have maximum output if our source
signal is not hot enough.

One way to use the volume controls is to

set them such that when the mixer’s faders are

at their maximum level, we are just below
clipping level on the amplifier or clipping very
occasionally.

Level

The main power switch turns the amplifier on.
When the power switch is turned On ("|"

position) the

LED lits. After approximately

7 seconds the main power supply voltage will be
turned on internally and the

and

LEDs will illuminate until all the voltage levels are
stable. Then the

LED will go out and

the amplifier will be ready to be used. To turn the
amplifier off push the power switch ("0" position).
At that moment the main power supply voltage
and the secondary power supply voltage will turn
off internally.

ALWAYS

TURN

THE

MAGNETOTHERMIC

SWITCH OFF BEFORE UNPLUGGING THE MAIN
CORD

Switch your sound system on from back to

front. Thus, switch on the amplifiers last on your
sound

system.

Switch

sound

sources

(CDs,

turntables)

first,

then

your

mixer,

then

your

processors

and

crossovers

and

finally

the

amplifiers. If you have more than one amplifier,
switch them on sequentially, one at a time or use a
sequencer.

Follow the reverse order when switching off,

and switch off the amplifiers before any other
element on your sound system.
