PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Front Panel Overview
GAIN (VOLUME) CONTROL
The Gain (Volume) Control on the face of the TA1501C amplifier controls the degree to which the
input signal is amplified. The gain level, combined with the level of the input signal, determines
the actual volume output.
CROSSOVER (X-OVER) CONTROL
The Crossover Control on the face of the TA1501C amplifier controls the range of low-frequency
(bass) sound sent to the output device, i.e. transducer, speaker, etc. This control is only
functional when the Low Pass/Bypass Switch is in the “Low Pass” position. The range of low-
frequency sound controlled by this dial is 40 Hz to 400 Hz.
AUTO/ON SWITCH
The Auto/On Switch allows the user to place the amplifier into either Auto On/Standby mode or
On.
When the switch is set to “Auto” and no input signal is received by the amplifier, the amplifier
stage will power down and go into Standby mode. Upon sensing an input signal, the amplifier will
power on automatically.
When the switch is set to “On,” the amplifier will remain powered on, regardless of whether an
input signal is present or not.
LOW PASS/BYPASS SWITCH
The Low Pass/Bypass Switch enables and disables the Crossover function and control dial
of the amplifier. When the switch is in the “Low Pass” position, the amplifier only passes low-
frequency sounds. When the switch is in the “Bypass” position, the amplifier passes the full
range of audio frequencies.
POWER INDICATOR (LED)
The Power Indicator LED displays the power mode. If the LED is:
RED- The amplifier is plugged into AC power and the power switch on the back of the •
amplifier is switched to “On.” If the Auto/On switch is set to “Auto,” a red LED indicates no
audio input signal has been received by the amplifier.
GREEN- The amplifier is plugged into AC power and the power switch on the back of the •
amplifier is switched to “On.” If the Auto/On switch is set to “Auto,” a green LED indicates an
audio input signal is being received by the amplifier, or, if the Auto/On switch is set to “On,”
the amplifier is on.
