fixing the amplifier safely . In addition, use the
mounting straps at the rear to screw the ampli-
fier to the rack .
The hot air given off by the amplifier must
be dissipated from the rack to the rear or to the
top; otherwise, heat will accumulate in the rack
which may not only damage the amplifier but
also other units in the rack . In case of insufficient
heat dissipation, install a ventilation unit into the
rack above the amplifier .

5 Connecting the Amplifier

Caution!
Any connections should be made by skilled
personnel only . Always switch off the amplifier
before connecting . Do not remove the insu-
lating pins from the output jacks (14) which
are not connected . This will prevent an electric
shock in case of accidental contact .
The connection of the inputs and of the speak-
ers depends on the operating mode selected .
Therefore, prior to making any connections,
always select the optimum operating mode for
the corresponding application . The different
modes are shown in fig . 3 – 9 .
Note: When selecting the input jacks, the XLR inputs
(12) should be preferred as a balanced signal transmis-
sion offers the best interference suppression, especially
in case of long connection cables . If the outputs of the
signal sources are unbalanced, connect them to the
6 .3 mm jacks (13) .

5.1 Individual operation

For individual operation (fig . 3), each power
amplifier receives a separate signal . For this
operating mode, unlock all switches (8) on the
rear panel of the unit:

5.1.1 Inputs
Connect the line signal sources (e . g . preampli-
fier, mixer, etc .) to the input jacks CH 1 to CH 4 .
The XLR jacks (12) or the 6 .3 mm jacks (13) can
be used as inputs .
5.1.2 Outputs
The amplifier is able to operate four speakers or
four speaker groups . The highest output power
is obtained when connecting 4 Ω speakers and
speaker groups of a total impedance of 4 Ω
each . However, it is also possible to connect 8 Ω
speakers or speaker groups with a total imped-
ance of 8 Ω . In this case, the output power will
be slightly reduced . The minimum RMS power
capability of the speakers or speaker groups
must be:
4 Ω speaker: 250 W
8 Ω speaker: 160 W
Connect the speakers or speaker groups to the
output jacks (14):
CH 1+ = positive pole of speaker, channel 1
CH 1− = negative pole of speaker, channel 1
CH 2+ = positive pole of speaker, channel 2
CH 2− = negative pole of speaker, channel 2
CH 3+ = positive pole of speaker, channel 3
CH 3− = negative pole of speaker, channel 3
CH 4+ = positive pole of speaker, channel 4
CH 4− = negative pole of speaker, channel 4
5.2 Channel group mode
In the channel group mode (fig . 4), the four
power amplifiers receive a common input signal .
Set the switches (8) on the rear panel of the
unit as follows:

jack (12) or the 6 .3 mm jack (13) can be used
as input . The inputs CH 2, CH 3, and CH 4 are
not connected .

5.3 Stereo parallel operation
In parallel operation (fig . 5), channels 1 and 3

and the right channel to the input jack CH 2 .
The XLR jacks (12) or the 6 .3 mm jacks (13) can
be used as inputs . The inputs CH3 and CH4 are
not connected .

5.4 Stereo bridge operation
In this operating mode, channels 1 and 2 and
channels 3 and 4 are bridged (fig . 6) . Therefore,
they provide higher power than a single channel .
