Input sensitivity is variable from 200 mV to 8 V. Clockwise increases sensitivity, and counter-clockwise decreases sensitivity. The amplifier can be driven to full power with a wide range of signal levels. A lower signal level will require increased sensitivity for full power. A higher

It has an ample heat sink for heat dissipation, and is also designed with a thermal shut-down circuit (for heat protection). Directing air flow over the cooling fins will dramatically improve heat dissipation. Do not enclose the amplifier in a smal

The LEVEL (gain) control located on the side of the amplifier is designed to do this. It is not a volume control. It adjusts the incoming signal level so that the source device and the amplifier reach maximum output at the same time. Th

This “bump” can have a dramatic effect on the bass system’s apparent volume. Use caution when adjusting this control, as subwoofer damage may result if the subwoofer begins to distort. When you exceed the subwoofer’s capabilities, the distortion will be obvious. To adjust bass boost: 1 Rotate the BA
