S-SERIES Professional Amplifiers Introduction Thank you for your purchase of a Wharfedale Pro S-Series professional power amplifier. Please read this manual completely to ensure proper operation and complete understanding of the features of these products. The Wharfedale Pro S-Series power amplifiers are designed for ease of use, and quality audio performance in portable sound reinforcement applications. S-1000 Stereo mode: 200 Watts per channel into 8 ohms (0.
S-SERIES Professional Amplifiers Getting Started 1. AC Power Connections All S-Series power amplifiers are equipped with an internal AC power supply. Connect the appropriate grounded IEC power cable to the power amp BEFORE connecting it to the power outlet. It is important to allow adequate ventilation to the powered mixer as it may become warm during extended periods of operation. Each S-Series amp is shipped with the correct power cable for the country in which it is to be used.
S-SERIES Professional Amplifiers FRONT PANEL - FEATURES AND CONTROLS 1. Power switch: Push to turn power on or off. 2. Power On LED: This LED lights when the power is on for the amplifier. 3. Protect LED: This LED will light up when a fault is detected in the amplifier operation. 4. Bridge LED: This LED lights up when the amplifier is set to BRIDGED mode. 5. Peak A LED: This LED indicates overload of the signal of Channel A 6. Peak B LED: This LED indicates overload of the signal of Channel B 7.
S-SERIES Professional Amplifiers REAR PANEL – FEATURES AND CONTROLS 1. INPUT “A” XLR and ¼” Balanced Line Input jacks: These XLR inputs are balanced input jacks and ¼” TRS (Tip / Ring / Sleeve) balanced / unbalanced inputs. These jacks are designed to be connected to +4dBu balanced or unbalanced line level sources. 2. INPUT “B” XLR and ¼” Balanced Line Input jacks 3. MODE Switches: Allows for selection of various operating modes for the amplifier. 4.
S-SERIES Professional Amplifiers INPUT A & B MODE SWITCHES The MODE SWITCHES for the S-2500 provide the means to configure the amplifier in for a variety of different applications. The following legend shows the available selections.
S-SERIES Professional Amplifiers MODE SWITCH OPERATION LIMITER A limiter is a circuit that prevents signal overload and distortion in an audio signal path. When engaged, the internal limiter circuit will keep the audio signal from going over a preset level threshold, thereby helping to prevent signal distortion within the amplifier and in the speaker system. The limiter also serves to prevent speaker damage.
S-SERIES Professional Amplifiers OUTPUT “A” AND “B” WIRING OPTIONS Output wiring options consist of NL-4 “Speakon®-type” female connectors for the left and right outputs along with industry standard binding posts for direct wiring connections or wiring with banana plugs.
