Summary of Contents for Cadence Q DRIVE SERIES
- Page 2 Thank you for purchasing a Cadence Q Series amplifier. Over the past years, the technology used to create audio amplifiers has grown by leaps and bounds. We have tens of thousands of satisfied customers still using our first generation Ultra Drive amplifiers which are more than 10 years old.
- Page 3 Cadence uses only true audio transistors. These transistors were designed and engineered to produce music. That’s why Cadence amplifiers sound better. They are cleaner with lower distortion, higher current capable and more reliable. We challenge you to test listen a...
- Page 4 Cadence Q Series amplifiers feature "ARVA" circuitry in their power supply. This circuit constantly monitors the output stage and under high current demands will adjust the power supply rail voltages so that enough power is available for peak situations. The "ARVA" also improves the damping factor of the amplifier when playing low impedance mono loads.
- Page 5 Attach the black ground wire to the amplifier screw terminal marked Ground. We recommend that you use the Cadence ZIK-8 or ZIK-4 amplifier installation kit, which contains all the cabling and accessories necessary for a good, reliable installation.
- Page 6 Once the system is operational, the first thing to do, is set all crossover points to approximate settings. In the case of the basic subwoofer system Low Pass filter crossover at 100 Hz or so. Set the Bass Boost equalizer controls to 0 dB Now you should set the amplifiers LEVEL adjustment.
- Page 7 Please take special care not to scratch the surface of the acrylic covers. Clean them only with a soft damp towel. The use of any cleansers may scratch the surface and remove the silver stamping of the logo. Replacement covers and thumb screws are available from Cadence.

- Page 11 Please note that the minimum impedance load for single Cadence Q Series amplifiers is 2 ohm stereo and 4 ohm mono bridged. Lower impedance loads will cause overheating and may damage the amplifiers. Do not mix different type and different impedance speakers in the series and/or parallel combinations, as unequal power sharing and acoustic outputs will result.
