WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. The lightning flash with arrowhead, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user of the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to you. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user of the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) ins

The AV2500 series II is a compact, very efficient, five channel power amplifier. It is designed to be used in all types of audio or audio/video systems. The term versatile is almost adequate to describe the variance of operational modes the AV2500 series II is capable of providing. This is all accomplished through the simple placement of internal jumpers and the paralleling or bridging of it’s outputs and/or linking multiple AV2500 series II’s. Here is a listing for some of the many tasks it

If the control function is desired, each unit in the system must remain connected at all times and the control must be enabled. To enable the control function, the CTRL ENABLE button must be out for each controllable amplifier in the system. For more information on the amplifiers output status under various control conditions, refer to the table below. @ CTRL IN Button position Output status @ CTRL OUT Signal OUT Sound Signal Signal IN Sound Signal No Signal OUT Mute No Signal No Signal IN Sou

Example: When using 4 ohm and 8 ohm speakers together, the 4 ohm may sound louder then 8 ohm at a given volume level. The level controls on the amplifier are used to match the speakers volume level. Clockwise will increase the output. Counter clockwise will decrease the output. RCA type connectors accept line input from the preamplifier’s unbalanced output connectors. There are two input connectors, one for each channel, that may be used to connect the amplifier to the preamplifier. RCA cabl

Five way binding posts are provided. One pair for each channel. They are designed to accept a banana-type plug or spade lug connector (shown below) and are color coded for easy identification. The red (+) post should always be connected to the speakers (+) jack. The black (-) post should always be connected to the speakers (-) jack. Spade connector Banana jack Here is a typical amplifier setup: Page 8

In order to gain access to the internal bus structure, you must first remove the top cover. Turn the amplifier so the rear panel is facing your. The jumper modules may be seen on the circuit board just behind the level controls. Below is the default setup for the AV2500 series II amplifier. By arranging the jumpers allows you to configure the amplifier for different applications. If you wish to use the amplifier as a five channel amplifier, you need not change any of the settings. In order

With the jumper plug set to this location on a channels jumper module will only let the signal present at that channel’s input to appear at it output. Along with being channel 2's input, it is used as the input to the right bus and the right source for the ‘L+R BUS’. Because it is a BUS input, any signal input here will appear at the ‘R BUS’ jumper terminal for both of the AV2500 series II’s jumper modules. Installing a jumper plug at this terminal on any of the five internal jumper modules se

The AV2500 series II’s five output channels may be paralleled (mono) to combine the output current for all channels. This feature allows the amplifier to increase its apparent output current. To use, place the source group jumper for all channels on the ‘L BUS’ jumper terminal. Place the volume group jumper for all channels on the ‘NO VOL’ jumper terminal. The speaker output terminals on the AV2500 series II’s rear panel must be paralleled in order to complete the setup. Simply connect the

The AV2500 series II may operate with 2 channels bridged to drive a high impedance speaker. To use, place the source group jumper for both channels on the ‘L BUS’ jumper terminal. Place the volume group jumper for both channels on the ‘NO VOL’ jumper terminal. Place the invert jumper module on the ‘-L’ terminal. One of the bridged channels be either channel 4 OR 5. Finally, connect the speakers (+) to channel 3's (+) terminal and the speakers (-) to channel 4's (+) terminal. Input your s

There will most likely be a number of cables involved in the installation of your home entertainment system. Pre-planning is essential in order to maximize system efficiency. We recommend the following as a means of helping you reach that goal: Make a diagram of your proposed system by laying out the relative location of each component in the system. Then lay out the proposed cable runs between them. Number each cable and record its length on the diagram for future reference. Cable run

Connect the wires from your speakers to the appropriate output on the amplifier. It is absolutely essential that you observe correct polarity in these connections. Double check all connections. Plug the amplifier’s power cord into the AC power source. Turn the amplifier’s power switch ‘on’. The panel light should be illuminated. Leave the preamplifier turned off. Before proceeding to the next step turn the amplifier off and wait 30 seconds for the amplifier to discharge. Both the pr
