Operation
Installation
Remove all packing materials from the DSA. Check that all foam and plastic padding is removed.
Secure the equipment into a 19" rack. Connect all cables.
Connecting Power / Circuit Size Requirements.
The actual current draw, the amplifier demands from the AC mains, depends on many factors (its load,
output level or the crest factor of its program material).
The power requirement is rated under typical music conditions, with both channels driven so those peaks
are just at the clipping point.
Make sure the mains voltage is correct and is the same as printed on the rear of the amplifier. Damage
caused by connecting the amplifier to improper AC voltage is not covered by any warranty. Unless
otherwise specified when ordered. DAP audio amplifiers shipped to customers are configured as follows:
North America 120VAC/60Hz
Europe 230VAC/50Hz
Asia 220VAC /50Hz/60Hz
Australia 240VAC/50Hz
South America 120VAC/60Hz or 220VAC/50Hz
Japan 1OOVAC/50Hz
NOTE: Always turn off and disconnect the amplifier from mains voltage before making audio
connections. Also, as an extra precaution, have the attenuators turned down during power-up.
Connecting Inputs.
Use the XLR input connectors on the rear to supply audio signals to your DAP Audio TAS Series amplifier. The
connectors accept balanced and unbalanced audio connections. (The TAS Series amplifiers are configured
standard with "Pin 2 hot" on XLR inputs. The Link connector can be used to loop the audio Input to another
amplifier Input. For more Information, see the section on Connection cables page 10.
Connecting Outputs.
Speakers are connected using Speakon connectors. For examples see figures 4, 5 and 6.
