Reverse operation of Channel B. 5.3.3 Tandem mode In tandem mode channel A input is linked to channel B input, either input socket may then be used to provide the input signal. Tandem mode is activated by placing the two central switches (4 and 5) in the “ON” position (UP). Both input attenuator’s are active, allowing you to set different levels for each channel.

ENGLISH 6 INSTALLATION 6.1 Mounting The amplifier is two rack units high (2U) and weighs 7.9Kg (17lbs) and will mount in a standard EIA 19” rack. Amplifiers may be stacked directly on top of each other. There is no need for spacing between units. If it is the intention to fill a rack with amplifiers, we recommend racking is started from the bottom of the rack. It is also recommended that rear supports are used for amplifiers mounted in the middle of the rack, especially if used as part of a port

The two bottom green LEDís then illuminate to show the amplifier is operational. 6.4 Denmark: National deviation concerning installation of the MA1.3s: Danish safety regulation only permits the use of an 8A main fuse. As the MA 1.3s uses an internal primary mains fuse of 15A, the MA1.3s must be equipped with an industrial mains connector rated for 16A or above, or as an alternative it can be hard wired to a 16A capacity circuit a

ENGLISH We recommend you to design the power distribution for at least the current at 1/8 power, and 1/3 power for heavy- duty demands such as concert touring and industrial music etc. The heat power can be calculated as follows: If a headroom figure of at least 5dB (1/3 of full power) is used with a 4 ohms load on each output of the amplifier. The 1/3 power per channel is then; 650 / 3 = 217watts, and the total output power = 2 x 217 = 433 watts. The power consumption according to the chart abo

ENGLISH Bridged mono Channel A and B into one Speakon Channel A and B into two separate (Stereo and Bi-amp) Speakons. Never connect either output terminal to ground or to some other output or input terminal (see warnings in chapter 1) For normal two-channel operation, connect each speaker load across the output’s positive and negative terminals. Pay attention to speaker polarity; loudspeakers connected out of polarity degrade sound quality. Keep the loudspeaker cables as short as possible and us

ENGLISH PROTECT CLIP -40dB ON MA1.3s PROTECT CLIP -40dB ON Front Indicators The Clip/limit indicator tells when the amplifier output is clipping or limiting. It has two different indication statuses: • If the clip limiter is engaged it has a short time constant and it illuminates briefly. • If the clip limiter is not engaged it has an increased time constant and illuminates for a longer period. The remaining yellow LEDs indicate if any protection circuits are activated. These are described on

ENGLISH 9.4 Short circuit protection All Martin Audio MA Series amplifiers are completely short circuit protected. The protection circuit permits very high peak currents, but still holds the output devices within the safe operating area. If a short circuit is maintained, the channel affected will eventually go into a thermal protect cycle until the short circuit has been removed. 9.5 AC mains voltage protection If the AC mains voltage is outside the operational window (over or under voltage), th
