APX280M manual.qxd 3/12/2004 12:55 PM Page 1 Operation/Installation Manual DESCRIPTION The APX280M uses an unregulated MOSFET power supply for superior sound and output wattage. In addition, a toroid-coil is used to transfer power with min- imal performance loss due to heat. To avoid unwanted noise, a double-sided conformal printed circuit board with strategically placed components keeps AM RFI subdued. All of the connections and controls for the APX280M are conveniently located at the en

The amplifier's range, 250mV to 2.5V for RCA inputs or 500mV to 5V for speaker level inputs, can accommodate input levels from virtually any brand of source unit. • Bass Boost Control- The amplifier also features a "high-Q" (i.e. narrow frequency band) Bass Boost circuit. It acts much like an equalizer, with adjustable gain (from 0 t

When creating passage holes for power cables, RCA's cords, and speaker wires, use grommets to eliminate any sharp edges created during drilling. This will protect the wire from being nicked and causing a short circuit. 8. Extra cable can cause signal loss and act as an "antenna" for noise. Use only high-quality RCA cords that are no longer than necessary. 9. In multiple amplifier systems, it is recommended to u

After a two-second delay, slowly increase the Volume Control and listen to the audio. If you hear any noise, static, distortion or no sound at all, check the connections, and also refer to Troubleshooting. Depending on your system design, the levels may become quite loud even at low Volume Control settings. Until you get an "audio feel" of the system's
