Set Up INPUTS - The V-01 Series amplifiers allow you to use two types of input connectors per channel, a XLR jack for balanced connections and a 1/4” female jack that will accept balanced and unbalanced connectors. Use these connections to connect the output signal from a mixer, cross-over or EQ to your V-01 Series amplifier. A balanced connection is recommended for cable runs longer that 20ft. When constructing your own XLR cables follow the pin configuration describe below for proper connec

Mono Subwoofer - This operation is similar to the Stereo Subwoofer operation but in mono. When running subwoofers it is usually recommended to run them in mono mode to achieve a cleaner tighter low end. This operation allows you to run several subwoofers down to a minimum of 2 ohms. To avoid amplifier overheating, never run the amplifier below 2 ohms in this mode. Set up this mode as you would a standard stereo set up. Be sure both channels are set to “SUBWOOF” and the mode switch is set to

If this line good, check the internal speaker connections and components. A short circuit will usu- ally be traced to a bad cable or a bad speaker component and is rarely traced to the amplifier itself. Thermal Protection - Dual variable speed fans on the V-01 Series amplifier provide adequate cooling. During low level
