-

- be qualified follow the instructions of this manual

CAUTION! Be careful with your operations.

With a dangerous voltage you can suffer

a dangerous electric shock when touching the wires!

Before you initial start-up, please make sure that there is no damage caused by transportation. Should there be any, consult your dealer and do not use the system.

To maintain perfect condition and to ensure a safe operation, it is absolutely necessary for the user to follow the safety instructions and warning notes written in this manual.

Please consider that damages caused by manual modifications to the system are not subject to warranty.

This system contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer servicing to qualified technicians only.

IMPORTANT:

The manufacturer will not accept liability for any resulting damages caused by the nonobservance of this manual or any unauthorized modification to the system.

 Never let the power-cord come into contact with other cables! Handle the power-cord and all connections with the mains with particular caution!

 Never remove warning or informative labels from the unit.

3

 Never use anything to cover the ground contact.

 Never leave any cables lying around.

 Do not insert objects into air vents.

 Do not connect this system to a dimmerpack.

 Do not switch the system on and off in short intervals, as this would reduce the system’s life.

 Do not open the device and do not modify the device.

 Do not drive the inputs with a signal level bigger, than required to drive the equipment to full output.

 Do not plug Mics into the console (or stage box) while Phantom Power is on. Also mute the monitor / PA system when turning Phantom Power on or off. Allow the system to adjust for a couple of seconds, before setting the input gains.

 Only use system indoor, avoid contact with water or other liquids.

 Avoid flames and do not put close to flammable liquids or gases.

 Always disconnect power from the mains, when system is not used. Only handle the power-cord by the plug. Never pull out the plug by tugging the power-cord.

 Always operate the unit with the AC ground wire connected to the electrical system ground.

 Make sure you don’t use the wrong kind of cables or defective cables.

 Make sure that the signals into the mixer are balanced, otherwise hum could be created.

 Make sure you use DI boxes to balance unbalanced signals; all incoming signals should be clear.

 Make sure that the available voltage is not higher than stated on the rear panel.

 Make sure that the power-cord is never crimped or damaged. Check the system and the powercord from time to time.

 Please turn off the power switch, when changing the power cord or signal cable, or select the input mode switch.

 Extreme frequency boosts in connection with a high input signal level may lead to overdriving your equipment. Should this occur, it is necessary to reduce the input signal level by using the

INPUT control.

 To emphasize a frequency range, you don’t necessarily have to move its respective control upward; try lowering surrounding frequency ranges instead. This way, you avoid causing the next piece of equipment in your sound path to overdrive. You also preserve valuable dynamic reserve

(“headroom”)

 Avoid ground loops! Always be sure to connect the power amps and the mixing console to the same electrical circuit to ensure the same phase!

 If system is dropped or struck, disconnect mains power supply immediately. Have a qualified engineer inspect for safety before operating.

Connecting Inputs

Use the jack inputs at the front or the XLR input connectors on the rear to supply audio signals to your DAP

Audio amplifier. The connectors accept balanced and unbalanced audio connections. (The PA- Series amplifiers are configured standard with "Pin 2 hot" on XLR inputs. For more Information, see the section on

Connection cables on page 14.

Connecting Outputs.

Speakers are connected using terminal connectors. See the examples below and following page.

Low impedance outputs

You can use as many speakers as you want as long as the total impedance matches the amplifiers output.

Example 1: using the 4Ω output with two 8Ω speakers.

Fig. 5

Example 2: using the 4Ω output with four 4Ω speakers

13

Fig. 6

Example 3: using the 8Ω output with two 4Ω speakers.

Fig. 7

In a low impedance system, the total speakerload should always match the amplifier impedance. This to avoid overloading the amplifier.

The total speaker power should be at least the power of the amplifier to avoid damage to the speakers.

High impedance outputs

If using either the 70V outputs or the 100V outputs, note that all speakers should be wired in parallel.

The total power of all speakers summed together should never exceed the total power of the amplifier in a high impedance (70V or a 100V) system!

Connection Cables

Take care of your cables, always holding them by the connectors and avoiding knots and twists when coiling them: This gives the advantage of increasing their life and reliability.

Periodically check your cables. A great number of problems (faulty contacts, ground hum, discharges, etc.) are caused entirely by using unsuitable or faulty cables.
