8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other

devices (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized

plug has two blades, with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two

blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for

your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for

replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs,

convenience receptacles, and the point where it is attached to the apparatus.

11. Use only the attachments/accessories specified.

12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified, or sold with the

apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus

combination to avoid overturning.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of

time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the

apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug is

damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the

apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or

has been dropped.

Operation

Make certain that speakers and input sources are properly connected before switching

on.

Keep volume levels at minimum gain before switching on.

NOTE: The system’s operation is delayed by approximately three seconds after pressing

the AC Mains power switch. This is due to the built-in protection circuitry, designed to

protect speakers and other system components.

Front Panel Controls

1. Power LED

When the unit is powered on, the Power LED will glow steadily.

2. Power Switch

Pressing this switch switches the unit on, as indicated by the Power LED (1).

Pressing it again switches the unit off.

3. Output Level Indicators

These three LEDs indicate the amplifier’s output status. The –40dB LED indicates

the presence of audio signal at the amplifier’s output. The –10dB LED indicates

output at nominal operating range. The red CLIP LED indicates an excessive

output level. Do not operate the unit with the CLIP LED constantly on

(illuminated).

4. Protection Indicator

This LED indicates the state of the amplifier’s protection circuitry. When the

Protection LED is on (illuminated), the protection circuitry is active, indicating that

the unit is not operating normally. This is typically due to overheating or power

limiting. Please check the Input and Output condition of the amplifier.

5. Fan Vents

These vents provide cool air flow into the unit. It is important to keep them free of

obstructions, to prevent the unit from overheating. It is also important to operate

the unit in a dust-free environment.

Rear Panel Controls

1. Speaker Output Terminals

These terminals are used to connect speakers to the unit. You may select either

4or 8conventional operation, or High Impedance operation at either 70V or

100V. Make certain the combined impedance of the speakers is equal to or

higher than the rated output impedance of the amplifier.

MODEL 4Ω70V 100V

PA-9312 22V 4283

PA-9324 32V 2142

PA-9336 38V 13.627.8

2. Audio Inputs

These balanced XLR jacks are for the input of audio signal.

3. Level Control

This knob controls the amplifier’s output level, from –12dB to 0dB (reference input

of 0dB at 1V). Rotating the knob clockwise increases the level, and rotating it

counter-clockwise decreases the level.

4. Fuse Holder

This holder contains the AC overload protection fuse. If the fuse has blown out,

replace it with a fuse of the same type and rating.

If the fuse continues to blow, refer servicing to a qualified service technician.

5. AC Connector

Connect the supplied standard AC input cable here.

6. High-Pass Filter Switch

This switch activates the high-pass filter circuitry, which decreases frequencies

lower than 400Hz by –3dB. The high-pass filter is designed to protect speakers from

damage caused by excessive low frequency transients.

7. Ground Lift Switch

This switch provides for connection or disconnection of the amplifier’s ground to

AC “earth” ground, to prevent noise from ground loops. Under most

circumstances, this switch should be set to FRAME position.

8. DC Input Terminals

These terminals are provided for the connection of backup battery. Connect a

24VDC battery source to these terminals. Make certain the red terminal is

connected to the battery’s positive (+) side, and the black terminal to the

battery’s negative (-) side.

9. Fan Vents

These vents provide hot air flow out of the unit. It is important to keep them free of

obstructions, to prevent the unit from overheating. It is also important to operate

the unit in a dust-free environment.
