AUDIO SIGNAL CABLES
When installing the audio cables between the RCA outputs of the headunit and the RCA inputs of the amplifier,
the audio and power supply cables should, if possible, not be routed along the same side of the vehicle. We
recommend a separated installation, e.g. routing the power cable through the cable channel on the left side
and the audio cables through the cable channel of the vehicle on the right side or vice versa. This prevents
interferences due to crosstalk into the audio signal.
SIGNAL OUTPUTS TO CONNECT ADDITIONAL AMPLIFIERS
The input signal on the INPUT FRONT jacks (Fig. 1,6) will be routed in stereo to the output jacks OUTPUT (Fig.
1,7). Thus the OUTPUT jack allows the connection of a additional amplifier.

OPERATING ELEMENTS

INPUT SENSITIVITY FRONT & REAR
Turn the LEVEL (Fig. 1,5 REAR and fig. 1,9 FRONT) controller of the amplifier to the MIN position. Then turn
the volume controller of the headunit to 80 - 90% of its full setting. Now turn LEVEL clockwise until you hear
some distortion. Then turn back the LEVEL slightly until you hear a cleaner sound.
VARIABLE HIGHPASS FILTER FRONT & REAR
If the amplifier is to be used for mid-range/tweeter loudspeakers, set the switches X-OVER (Fig. 1,2 REAR
and fig. 1,10 FRONT) to HP. Then set the desired cross-over frequency on the HIGH PASS controller (Fig.1,1
REAR or fig. 1,11 FRONT). Thus to that only the frequencies above the chosen cross-over frequency will be
amplified. This effectively minimizes distortions and overloads at lower frequencies. A good point to start is at
125 Hz.
If you use loudspeakers (>20 cm) set X-OVER (Fig.1,1 REAR or fig. 1,11 FRONT). to FULL. In this case, the
HIGH PASS controllers (Fig.1,1 REAR or fig. 1,11 FRONT) are without function.
VARIABLE LOWPASS FILTER REAR
If the amplifier is used to drive a subwoofer, set the switch (Fig. 1,2 REAR) to „LP". Set the desired cross-over
frequency by using the controller (Fig. 1,1 REAR). Thus to that only the frequencies below the chosen cross-
over frequency will be amplified and the subwoofer plays more precised and efficient.
SWITCHABLE BASS EQ REAR
By using the BASS EQ switch (Fig.1,4 REAR) you are able to increase the bass level by 6 or 12 dB at 45 Hz.
Attention: Use the BASS EQ wisely!

PROTECTION CIRCUIT

The Operation-LED (POWER, fig. 1,12) lits up, if the amplifier is in operation.
The protection LED (PROTECT, fig. 1,12) lits up, when the amplifier is overheated, or a short circuit occurs
resp. a too low impedance load is connected to the speaker outputs. If this events, the internal built-in pro-
tection circuit shuts down the amplifier automatically. The amplifier should work again properly after you have
solved the problems.
