When installing the power amplifier into a rack, you should place it in the lowest position, and further equipment such as pre-amplifiers in the highest position. D3400...
Installation and start up Installation and start up Unpack and check carefully there is no transportation damage before using the unit. Establish all connections as long as the unit is switched off. Use the shortest possible high- quality cables for all connections. DANGER! Electric shock caused by high voltages at the power amplifier output The output voltages of modern high-performance amplifiers may result in death...

–14 should be avoided in practice, because then the amp is not working in the optimum dynamic range (headroom). "Power" LEDs (6) These LEDs light up, when the unit is switched on. If they are not lit, although the power switch is in ON position, check the voltage supply. D3400...

Connectors and operating elements "Thermal" LED (7) This LED lights up, when the internal temperature is too high. Then an automatic protection circuit reduces the output power. If the temperature keeps rising, the amp will automatically power down. In this case the "Fault" LEDs (2) light up. Speaker outputs left/right (8) Mounting socket for lockable speakON connectors.
