If a replacement fuse is used, never bridge fuses or replace
them with a type with higher current.

+12V
Remote connection of the amplifi er with switchable +12 V
voltage source.
This allows the amplifi er to be switched on and off using the
on/off -switch of the radio device.
Level control
The Level control is used to adjust the input sensitivity of
the power amplifi er to the output voltage of your car sound
system preamplifi er output.
The adjustment range is from 0.3 V to 8 V.
If a car sound system of a third party manufacturer is con-
nected, the input sensitivity must be adjusted corresponding
to the manufacturer data.
A few important explanations in this context:
By turning the control clockwise, the input sensitivity of the
amplifi er and, therefore, also the volume increases. However,
this is not a volume control; no further amplifi er output
can be achieved in the end position, even if it may sound
like that at the beginning. The system merely increases the
volume faster if the volume control of the car sound system
is turned up.
Loudspeaker connections
(If the amplifi er is to be jumpered, continue with the section
"Bridged loudspeaker connections" at this point).
As with every audio component, the correct polarisation of
amplifi er and loudspeakers is of essentially importance for a
good bass response. For this reason, ensure that the positive
(+) connection of the amplifi er is connected with the posi-
tive connection (+) of the loudspeaker; the same applies to
the negative (-) connections. In addition, the left amplifi er
channel must be connected with the left loudspeaker and
the right amplifi er channel with the right loudspeaker.
Bridged loudspeaker connections
The GTA amplifi er can also be bridged for a mono confi gura-
tion. This allows the amplifi er to be used for one or several
subwoofers or mid-range drivers. In this confi guration, the
amplifi er combines the right and left channel to a single-
channel output (mono output).
Note:
The amplifi er can add the right and left signal information
only if the right as well as the left RCA connection were
carried out.
Caution:
In a bridge circuit, the amplifi er load must be 4 ohm or
higher. A lower load leads to an overheating or switch-off
of the amplifi er and can cause permanent damages.

Adjusting the type and range of the
frequency crossovers
With the GTA 4 Special, the type of frequency crossover (i.e.
"Low Pass" or "Hi-Pass") and the desired entry frequency can
be adjusted. For example, if a pair of subwoofers is to be
connected, the low-pass settings shown are required (Fig. 3).
The entry frequency is dependent upon the frequency range
of the loudspeakers (see recommended frequency range of
the loudspeakers).
High-Pass
At a setting of 80 Hz, the amplifi er has a frequency range of
80 Hz to 25,000 Hz.
Low-pass frequency control
This control is active if the switch is in the position "Low-Pass",
and allows for setting the desired entry frequency.
Example:
At a setting of 150 Hz, the amplifi er has a frequency range
of 10 Hz to 150 Hz.
Bass boost
The bass boost control is used to adjust the bass response
of the amplifi er.
The setting options are: 0 dB / +6 dB / +12 dB.
Power-on indicator
(POWER / PROTECTION)
Green LED:
Output stage on, regular operating status.
Red LED:
Output stage is electronically switched off due to an error.
