5. Instruccions de funcionament
Un cop el amplifier is properly set up, follow these steps for operation.
- Encès: Ensure all gain controls are set to minimum. Press the Power Switch on the front panel to turn on the amplifier. The power indicator LED will illuminate.
- Ajust de guany: Slowly increase the individual Channel Gain Controls (CH-A, CH-B, CH-C, CH-D) to achieve the desired output level.
- LED del monitor:
- LED SIG: Illuminates when an audio signal is present on the channel.
- LED LÍMIT: S'il·lumina quan el amplifier is approaching or reaching its maximum output. Reduce the gain if this LED is constantly lit to prevent clipping and distortion.
- Bridge Mode (Optional): If higher power output is required for a single speaker, set the Bridge/Normal switch to BRIDGE. Ensure your speaker is rated for bridged operation and connected to the designated bridged output.
