4.3 LOUDSPEAKER CONNECTIONS
•
In normal operating mode (i.e. one loudspeaker on each individual amplifier channel), the lowest terminal
resistance is 2 ohm per channel.
•
In bridging mode (two amplifier outputs combined) the lowest terminal resistance doubles to 4 ohm.
•
The impedance in tri-mode may not fall below 2 ohm per channel.
•
Never connect the loudspeakers' minus terminals to the vehicle chassis.
•
Never connect the +12 V supply voltage to a loudspeaker output as this would destroy the amplifier final
stage.
If the amplifier is operated with lower terminal resistances or incorrectly used as described above,
both the amplifier and the loudspeakers may be damaged. The warranty becomes void in such
cases.

OPERATING ELEMENTS
5.1 SETTING THE INPUT SENSITIVITY
The input sensitivity may be adapted to any car radio or tape deck. Turn the volume control of your radio to ist
central position and then adjust the input-level control (5) to produce an average medium volume. This setting
usually provides sufficient power reserves at optimum weighted noise voltage.
ATTENTION: only reproduce loud test noises briefly to prevent damaging the loudspeakers.
5.2 LOW-PASS FILTER WITH ADJUSTABLE CROSS-OVER FREQUENCY
If the amplifier is used as a subwoofer amplifier, set the switch (2) to "LPF". Set the desired cross-over frequency
with the control (3). This makes the filter adaptable to the installed woofer's sound requirements.
The filter's high edge steepness is responsible for the precision reduction of medium and high frequency ranges.
5.3 HIGH-PASS FILTER WITH ADJUSTABLE CROSS-OVER FREQUENCY
If the amplifier is to be used as an amplifier for satellite loudspeakers (mid-range/tweeter loudspeakers), set
switch (2) to "HPF". Set the desired cross-over frequency with the control (4). Only the frequencies above the
set cross-over frequency will then be amplified. This effectively minimizes distortions caused by excessive
membrane movement at low frequencies and small satellite loudspeakers without reducing the bass level.
5.4 BASS-BOOST
The bass-boost function is used to increase or equalize the lower bass frequencies. Infinitely variable
accentuation level using control (1).
5.5 OUTPUTS FOR CONNECTING ADDITIONAL AMPLIFIERS
The cinch-connectors labelled "OUTPUT" may be used to hook up additional amplifiers without any need for
cable splitters or T-connectors.
