D-POWER 1 WELCOME / 2 THE AMP SERIES 1.1 Welcome to CAMCO Established in 1983, CAMCO has gained worldwide experience with professional sound reinforcement technology. Within the audio market CAMCO specialises in the production and marketing of high quality power amplifiers and sound systems for use both on tour and in fixed installations.
D-POWER 2 THE AMPLIFIER SERIES P.8 2.2 The Amplifier The D-POWER is a Class-D power amplifier with a power output of: D-POWER 05 250 W per channel @ 4 Ω 125 W per channel @ 8 Ω 500 W in Mono Bridge @ 8 Ω D-POWER 1 500 W per channel @ 4 Ω 250 W per channel @ 8 Ω 1000 W in Mono Bridge @ 8 Ω USER MANUAL D-POWER 05/1 D-POWER amplifiers are fitted with Switched Mode Power Supplies (SMPS), which significantly reduces the weight and size (only 2U) of the amplifier.

D-POWER 7,5 mm 3.1 Mounting Use four screws and washers when mounting the amplifier to the front rack rails. 88,1 mm 10,5 mm 76,2 mm 3 INSTALLATION SERIES The efficiency of the cooling will depend on the immediate environment (e.g. an enclosed rack, direct sunlight). If the amp is installed in a case, the open area at the back of the case must be at least 140 cm². This area should be in line with the amplifier. 465,0 mm 442,0 mm USER MANUAL D-POWER 05/1 249,7 mm 240,7 mm 224,7 mm 76,2 mm P.
D-POWER 3 INSTALLATION SERIES 3.3 Mains 3.3.1 Mains Supply When mounting or connecting the amp always disconnect it from mains. Only connect the D-POWER amplifier to an appropriate AC circuit and outlet, according to the requirements indicated in the second line on the rating plate.
D-POWER 3 INSTALLATION SERIES 3.3.2 On/Off Switch The On/Off Switch is a rocker-type switch. It is located on the right side of the front panel. To turn the amplifier on, press on the upper part of the switch. During power up the Clip and Signal LEDs from both channels will light up in red for a few seconds. To turn the amplifier off, press on the lower part of the switch. 3.4 Wiring 3.4.
D-POWER 3 INSTALLATION SERIES 3.4.2 SPEAKON® Connection Both SPEAKON® connectors are connected to channel A and channel B outputs.
D-POWER 4 OPERATION SERIES 4.1 Controls 4.1.1 Volume Control A volume control with 41 notched settings controls the audio signal. These settings have been selected to correspond to human hearing characteristics (logarithmically) and therefore guarantee an optimal range of settings for practical applications. Each channel can be set individually except when operating in mono bridge mode where only channel A volume control is active. 4.1.
D-POWER 4 OPERATION SERIES 4.1.4 Mono Bridge Operation One-channel mono bridged operation. 4.2 Indicators 4.2.1 On LEDs Under normal operation, after the amp has started, the green power LEDs are permanently lit. D-POWER In A 180° Z≥4Ω In B The second amplifier channel processes the same input signal, but with reversed phase. The (single) load is connected between the two positive channel outputs using a suitable connected SPEAKON® connector (see below).
D-POWER 4 OPERATION SERIES 4.2.3 Output Current LEDs The brightness is proportional to the output current in the corresponding channel. 4.2.4 Clip LEDs (multifunctional) The colour of the bi-coloured LED changes between orange and red, depending on the clip intensity. Orange indicates light clipping, red indicates heavy clipping. P.17 USER MANUAL D-POWER 05/1 4.2.5 Mono Bridge Mode Indicator On the front panel there is a yellow LED to indicate if the Mono Bridge Mode is set.
D-POWER 4 OPERATION SERIES 4.3 Power Amp Protection Systems 4.3.1 Clip Limiter If the power amp is overdriven, the clip limiter automatically reduces the output level to reduce the audible clipping. 4.3.2 DC Protection Each output of the power amp is constantly monitored for persistent DC voltage levels. If the 3 V thresholds are exceeded at any of the outputs, the corresponding channel will be muted. If DC was only detected for a short moment, the amplifier will release mute and work as normal. 4.3.
D-POWER 4 OPERATION SERIES 4.7 Filter Cleaning The air intake on the front of your D-POWER Amplifier is fitted with a removable filter system. If the filter becomes clogged, the unit will not cool as efficiently as it should and may result in reduced output levels. WARNING: Disconnect the amplifier from the mains before removing the front frame.
D-POWER 5 TROUBLESHOOTING SERIES 5.1 Problem: No Sound Indication: On LEDs not lit Signal LEDs not lit Clip LEDs not lit Check AC plug. Confirm that AC outlet works by plugging in another device. Indication: I-Out LEDs are lit Signal LEDs not lit Make sure the signal source is operating and try another cable. Check position of volume pots. Indication: I-Out LEDs are lit Signal LEDs responding to signal level Check the speaker wiring for breaks. Try another speaker and cable.
