RCA Input Channels 1 through 4 - accepts RCA input from a head unit, pream- plifier, or equalizer. These inputs are configured by the Input Mode switch posi- tion (refer to item 11 below). RCA Line Output - provides easy connection to additional amplifiers. Gain Control - continuous adjustment for full power output. - Page 7 supply a remote turn on signal. DO NOT connect this terminal to constant (+) 12 volt. GND - power return connection. Connect this terminal directly to the sheet metal chassis of the vehicle, using the shortest wire necessary to make this connection. Always use wire of the same gauge or larger than the (+) 12 volt power wire.

Page 11: Amplifier Settings
AMPLIFIER SETTINGS Signal Input and Output Configurations Depending on your model, the input section of the amplifier consists of gain controls, high pass and low pass crossovers controls, Intelli-Bass control and RCA inputs and outputs. The input section makes it easy to adapt this amplifier to most system configurations. Input Gain These Orion amplifiers have level adjustments to allow for easy integration with any source unit. -
Page 12: High-Pass Crossover
High-Pass Crossover When the switch is to the left (FULL position), the high-pass crossover is bypassed. When the switch is in the middle (HIGH position), the high-pass crossover is active. The high-pass crossover is continuously variable from 50Hz to 500Hz. Input Gain The Orion amplifiers have gain adjustments with an input sensitivity range from 200mV up to 5V on the RCA inputs and 1V to 10 on the high-level inputs. -
Page 13: Infinite Baffle Example High-Pass Set At 30Hz
Infinite Baffle Example High-Pass Set at 30Hz By removing low frequency signal that the woofer cannot produce, the woofer can play its capable range louder. The first example is an infinite baffle situation. The left graph displays the frequency response of a 12-inch woofer in an infinite baffle application without the high-pass filter, with the filter and with the filter and the INTELLi Q set to +3dB. -
Page 14: Sealed Example High-Pass Set At 30Hz
Sealed Example High-Pass Set at 30Hz In this example, the frequency has been increased to 30 Hz. Up to 6 dB of boost is capable at this frequency. With +6dB of boost, the woofer has more output down to 23 Hz. The overall usable output is increased. -

Page 21: Amplifier Installation
AMPLIFIER INSTALLATION Choosing Mounting Locations The location of your amplifier will depend on several important issues. Due to the low pro- file size of the Orion amplifiers, there are many possible installation locations that will yield satisfactory amplifier performance. Always mount the amplifier in a place that protects the amplifier from the elements. -
Page 22: Tools Of The Trade
Power for systems with a single amplifier can be supplied by most automotive electrical sys- tems. Systems with multiple amplifiers may require a higher capacity battery, alternator or the use of a storage capacitor. We strongly recommend the use of a Directed Audio Essentials power capacitor with an extra battery in larger stereo systems. -
Page 23: Set Up And Troubleshooting
Step 8 Connect power wires to the amplifier (ground first, then 12 V(+) and REM). Do not connect the battery at this time. Step 9 Connect the RCA and speaker wires to the amplifier. Check the quality of your speakers and signal connections. This will determine the ultimate per- formance of your Orion amplifier. -
Page 24: Adjusting The Sound Of The System
Step 7 If the output is clear and undistorted, continue to the Adjusting the Sound of the System section of this manual. Adjusting the Sound of the System Once you have checked the system's operation, adjust the sound of the system. Adjusting the sound of the system is accomplished by setting the level controls and adjusting the internal crossovers. -
