FEATURES AND BENEFITS FEATURES AND BENEFITS The SI-2125 delivers 125 watts per channel at 8 Ohms, 200 watts per channel at 4 Ohms and 300 watts bridged at 8 ohms. You’ll get tremendous bass and dynamics from every pair of speakers powered by an SI-2125. r a p s n a r T The audio circuitry of the SI-2125 is constructed using the finest parts available; including 1% metal film resistors, high quality capacitors, and oversized heat sinks. All this attention to technical detail cr

FEATURES AND BENEFITS T The SI-2125 features three turn-on modes: 1. Music Sense 2. External Voltage Trigger 3. Manual Turn-On via the front panel switch. You can configure the SI-2125 to interface with any kind of system and have the unit automatically turn on. n o i t c e t o The SI-2125 is equipped with sophisticated protection circuits. In the unlikely event that a problem occurs, the amplifier shuts itself off. When conditions return to normal, regular operation resumes. g n

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS Place the SI-2125 on a flat level surface like a table or shelf. It should be placed upright so that its weight rests on the four attached feet. Placing the weight of the amplifier on the rear or front panel for even an instant will result in damage to the amplifier's connectors and controls. The SI-2125, like any hi-fi component, will last much longer if it is given adequate ventilation for proper cooling. When installing the

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS T The SI-2125 draws more current than a preamplifier’s switched AC outlet can safely supply. Also, your preamplifier may “thump” at dangerous volumes if the amplifier is already on when the preamp turns on. It is usually best to turn the amplifier on only when it is needed. The Turn-On Mode selector switch gives you three options for turning the SI-2125 on and off. Constant - The auto turn-on circuitry is off. The front panel master power switch operate

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS The SI-2125’s bridged mode switch allows you to create a more powerful amplifier by combining both channels into one (8 ohm minumum). In the bridged mode, connect the speakers to the left red positive terminal and the right red positive terminal. In the bridged mode the right channel’s red terminal becomes positive and the left channel's red terminal becomes negative. DO NOT USE THE BLACK NEGATIVE (-) TERMINALS. THE SIGNAL IS AT THE RED POSITIVE (+) TERM

OPERATION OPERATION The front panel switch is a master or “vacation” power switch. No matter which turn-on mode you have selected, the master power switch will turn off all circuitry—including the sensing circuitry. If you will not be using the amplifier for an extended period of time, turn the master power switch “Off” (push button switch out). When you would like to return to normal operation, turn the switch ”On” (push button switch in). The power LED indicates that the AC co
