Owner's Manual DESCRIPTION The APX480M uses an unregulated MOSFET power supply for superior sound and output wattage. In addition, a toroid-coil is used to transfer power with minimal 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 APX480M are conveniently located at the ends of the amplifier and labeled appropriately. To ensure the best pos

Clarion APX480M Power System Amplifier The RCA connections are gold plated for optimum performance and low sig nal loss. The RCA connectors are labeled CH 1 (front left), CH 2 (front right), CH 3 (rear left), and CH 4 (rear right). In applications where RCA signals are not present, the speaker level output from the head unit can be used. (Use one or the other input, not both.) • Gain Controls - Separate CH 1/2 and CH 3/4 gain controls allow you to set the nominal operating level of the amplifie

clarion Operation/Installation Manual 6. When replacing the amplifier's fuse, always use one having the same amperage rating. Substituting a higher rated fuse or a slow-blow type can result in serious damage to the amplifier. 7. 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 "
