Setting Up and Using Your PG Series Setting up your PG Series is a simple procedure which takes only a few minutes: 1. Remove all packing materials (save them in case of need for future service) and decide where the amplifier is to be physically placed—it can be used free-standing or mounted in a standard 19” rack, requiring only two rack spaces. When installed, make sure that both the front and rear panels are unobstructed and that there is good ventilation around the entire unit (we rec

Setting Up and Using Your PG Series 9. Apply an input signal to the PG Series at or about +4dBu (if sending signal from a mixer, drive the output meters at approximately 0 vu). While the input signal is present, slowly raise the Channel Input controls until the desired sound level is achieved. The SIGNAL and CLIP LED indicators next to each Channel input control will show you the continuous power output of the PG Series as signal is being passed. For the best signal-to-noise ratio, the

Bridge and Parallel Modes The PG Series provides a rear-panel switch that allows it to be used in either Stereo, Bridge or Parallel mode. When this switch is placed in the “STEREO” (center) position, the PG Series functions as a true stereo amplifier, where both of the two independent amplifier channels (Channel 1 and Channel 2) can receive different input signals and produce independent output signals. However, when the switch is placed in the “Bridge” (right) position, the Channel 1 in
