SETTING UP YOUR AMPLIFIER
CAUTION: Before connecting any wires or input/output lines, insure all equipment is
off and no signals are being sent from the input device.
In order to reduce the chances of accidentally damaging the amplifier or transducer, please set the
amplifier controls to the safety positions described and shown below:
Set the • AC Power Switch on the back of the amplifier to the “Off” position (see photo #1)
Set the • Gain (Volume) Control to “Min” (completely counter-clockwise, see photo #2)
Set the • Input Signal Switch on the back of the amplifier to the “High” position (see photo #3)
If you are placing the amplifier on a flat surface (not including mounting the amplifier on a
Clamping Rackshelf), you must install the feet supplied with the amplifier. Installing these feet will
help provide sufficient cooling to the bottom plate of the amplifier.
To install the feet, follow the steps listed below:
Gently place the amplifier on a non-abrasive surface with the bottom of the amplifier •
facing up.
Hand thread one of the feet into a receiving hole, insuring the threads do not crossthread. •
When properly threaded, tighten the foot by hand until it is snug. •
CAUTION: Do not overtighten the feet. The bottom plate of the amplifier is made of soft metal
and the threads can easily be stripped if the feet are improperly threaded or overtightened.
CAUTION: The bottom of the amplifier can get hot. Do not place anything directly under the
amplifier that is flammable or can be damaged by heat. Failure to install the feet may result in
damage to the amplifier and/or the surface upon which it is sitting (not including a Rackshelf).
CAUTION: Insure there are two (2) inches of clearance around the sides and top of the amplifier.
DO NOT block the top or side air vents.
