B Indicators Indicates the operating status of each of the channels and warns of possible malfunction. There are 5 indicators for each channel: • ACL (automatic clip limiting) - indicates clipping. If the light is flashing quickly and intermittently, the channel is at the clip threshold. Gain reduction is automatically employed to prevent severely clipped waveforms from reaching the loudspeakers. • SIG (signal) - indicates that an output signal of 4 volts RMS or more (0.
C Inputs • CH. B - allows a twist lock connector to be connected to the channel B output. • BRIDGE - allows for a twist lock connector to be connected to the bridged amplifier output. • CH. A - allows a 2-pole or 4-pole twist lock connector to be connected to the channel A output. Connecting a 4-pole twist lock connector provides the outputs of both channels A and B on the corresponding poles of the 4-pole connector. • Provides the connecting inputs and input controls.
Installation This section provides information and procedures for installing and connecting the Christie Vive Audio CDA2/CDA3 Professional Power Amplifiers. Install the CDA2 or CDA3 An incorrect power setup creates a fire and shock hazard. Do not attempt operation unless the power cord, power socket, and power plug meet the appropriate local rating standards. Have a certified electrician install a permanent single-phase connection from the amplifier to the AC supply for correct installation.

comply could result in death or serious injury. • Only qualified service technicians are permitted to open enclosures and only if the amplifier is disconnected from AC power. Failure to comply could result in in death or serious injury. • DO NOT allow anything to rest on the power cord. Locate the amplifier where the cord cannot be damaged by persons walking on it or objects rolling over it. Never operate the amplifier if the power cable appears damaged in any way.
Troubleshooting This section provides basic Christie Vive Audio CDA2/CDA3 Professional Power Amplifiers troubleshooting information. Do not service the amplifier yourself. Contact a qualified service technician. Problem Resolution The amplifier power will not turn on. • Verify that the amplifier is receiving power. Plug the amplifier into the AC mains. Connect the IEC line cord to the AC power inlet on the rear panel of the amplifier. • Verify that the circuit breaker for the mains circuit is open.
they are complete and wired correctly. Verify the polarity of each connection. There is output from one channel, but not from the other channel. • Verify that the attenuators are turned up for both channels. • Check all connections between the amplifier and loudspeakers. Make sure that the twist lock connectors are fully-inserted and seated. The connectors must be inserted and turned 1/4” clockwise until they lock in position.
