Installation and Considerations
Cabling - These amplifiers can be used with either balanced or unbalanced sources, provided the proper cabling is used. A balanced line is defined
as two-conductor shielded cable with the two center conductors carrying the same signal but of opposite polarity when referenced to ground. An
unbalanced line is generally a single-conductor shielded cable with the center conductor carrying the signal and the shield at ground potential.
Balanced Input - Use 20 - 22 gauge, 2-conductor shielded wire for low level signals. Maintain the proper polarity, + to +, – to – and shield to ground.
For unbalanced signals using the phoenix connector, connect the (–) pin of the amplifier input to the GND center pin and the (+) pin to positive.
Speaker Outputs - Use 2-conductor unshielded wire of the appropriate gauge. The AZA Series is approved for Class 3 wiring. Contact AtlasIED Tech
Support at 1-800-876-3333 for questions regarding wiring.
Placement And Mounting - Turn off all equipment before making connections. The amplifier can be mounted in a standard width 19" rack. It can be
mounted above or below anything that does not generate excessive heat. Although the unit’s chassis is shielded against radio frequency (RF) and
electromagnetic interference (EMI), extremely high fields of RF and EMI should be avoided.
Ventilation - The amplifier should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with proper ventilation. For example, the AZA Series
amplifiers should not be situated in a sealed cabinet or on a shelf with obstacles that may impede the air flow through the ventilation openings.
Heat - The DPA Series amplifiers should be installed away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including
amplifiers) that produce excessive heat. Ambient temperatures should not exceed 113° F (45°C)
