Model PA435X Page 3 GENERAL INFORMATION To enhance the ease of installation and obtain optimum performance from the PA435X, we recommend that you first become familiar with all its features and special capabilities by studying the descriptions and instructions in this manual. The PA435X was designed to meet the audio power amplifier needs of custom installed multi-zoned systems with high sonic quality. It is a 4 Channel amplifier that is primarily intended to interface with the MRC8

Page 4 Model PA435X Peak/Clip LED Indication: Whenever either amplifier channel output starts to enter a clipping state, a front panel LED will illuminate RED. After the amp stops clipping the LED will return to its normal state 5-6 seconds after clipping stops. Auto Protection Circuit. This feature protects the PA435X if a short or very low impedance is detected at the speaker terminals with each amplifier pair protected separately. Normal operation is restored automatically within

Connect them to the Preamp Output jacks of Zone 7 & 8 of the MRC88 (or other driving preamp output) with good quality RCA-type patch cables. Note that the inputs are marked LEFT-A-RIGHT, LEFT-B-RIGHT signifying the stereo channel pairs. Both the LEFT and RIGHT jacks are always active even when the MODE switch (item

Model PA435X Page 7 CAUTION: Be sure to have the rear AC LINE POWER switch (Item #15) turned OFF (O) when changing the position of this switch and when making the corresponding speaker connection changes. 9. FUSE. When required, replace only with a fuse of the same type and rating: § 120 V Version: 6.25 AMP 250 VAC, SLOW BLOW. § 240 V Version: 3.15 A Time-Lag 250 VAC. NOTE: Replacement with a fuse of higher rating will not protect the amplifier and will void the warranty.

Page 8 Model PA435X INSTALLATION - PHYSICAL LOCATION AND MOUNTING Figure 5 – HORIZONTAL MOUNTING When you mount the PA435X, you should plan its location carefully. Pay close attention to each of the following factors: 1. The amplifier is convection cooled. That is, it depends on the natural free flow of air up through the slot perforations in the bottom plate, over the internal heat dissipating fins, then out the top cover, for adequate cooling. 2. If mounted in an equipment

Model PA435X Page 9 NOTE: You should consider some sort of rear support for rack mounted units when used in mobile applications or when located in seismically-active areas. CONNECTING THE PA435X Figure 6 - PA435X Stereo Mode Connections When making connections to the PA435X be sure the power cord is unplugged. Proceed as follows: Stereo Mode Connections 1. Using good quality RCA-type patch cables connect the L and R OUTPUT jacks of the MRC88 Pre Amp Output or other drivi

Page 10 Model PA435X 5. Be sure to observe correct polarity by connecting the "+" and "–" terminal from each channel on the PA435X to the corresponding "+" and "–" terminals on each speaker. This will ensure correct "phasing" - see Fig. 6 and Speaker Phasing below. Since the connectors are removable, you may unplug them for ease of lead assembly. 6. As a rule of thumb, use 18 gauge speaker wire for speaker runs up to 30' (9m), 16 gauge up to 70' (21m), and 14 gauge up to 150' (39m). Th

Model PA435X Page 11 Figure 7 – Bridged Mode Connections Bridged Mode Connections In general, it is recommended that the BRIDGED mode not be used in multi-room applications where several speakers are driven through room volume controls and the like. For such applications, use the STEREO mode. Use the BRIDGED mode for single speaker, higher power applications, such as in surround sound systems. Use speakers with an impedance rating of 8-Ohms minimum. To make connections

Page 12 Model PA435X CAUTION: When operating in the BRIDGED mode (particularly when bench testing the amplifier) do not make a ground or any other kind of connection to the amplifier speaker terminals other than those to the individual speakers as shown. Failures caused by inappropriate connections are not covered under the warranty. Connecting the REMOTE MASTER ON/OFF MUTE CONTROL As mentioned under "PA435X PANEL AND FEATURE DESCRIPTIONS", the REMOTE MASTER ON/OFF CONTROL input

Figure 9: Interfacing the PA435X with an MRC88 Zones 7 & 8 In this case: 1. Using good quality RCA Stereo Patch Cords, connect the Preamp Outputs of Zone 7 on the MRC88 to the Left and Right Audio Inputs labeled ‘A’ on the rear of the PA435X. 2. Similar to step 1, connect the Preamp Outputs of Zone

Page 14 Model PA435X The Remote Amp CO1 & CO2 (Remote Control Jack) from the MRC88 allows for individual Zone control directly from the Zone 7 & 8 keypads of the MRC88 system. When any one of the zones is turned on, the PA435X is powered ON. Similarly, when either Zone is powered down, the associated amplifier pair on the PA435X is put into STANDBY Mode. When both Zones (& & *) are powered down, the PA435X will either go into STANDBY Mode on both amplifier pairs or will be POWERED OFF dep

Be sure, in addition, to check other system components, such as preamplifiers, CD players, speakers, speaker wiring, etc., that may be at fault. PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE AND SOLUTION Rear panel Power Indicator does not light – no sound. Check line cord for good contact in a live AC outlet. If REMOTE CI jacks are being used, be sure applied voltage is between +5V and +30V D
