SPECIFICATIONS Model artec 506A Power Amplifier 720 W peak 360 W continuous (Class D Bi-amplified) Input Type Balanced Differential Line Input Impedance Line: 20 kohms Sensitivity Line: 1.95V (+8dBu) Frequency Range (-10 dB) 65 Hz - 20 kHz HF Horn Coverage Angles (-6 dB) 80º x 80º Maximum Peak SPL at 1m 114.
AMPLIFIER Description 1) INPUT : 1/4” Jack+XLR combined socket-type input signal connector. This is a balanced connector just like the LOOP THRU connector with the following pin assignments: 1 or S =GND (ground). 2 or T =(+) Non inverted input. 3 or R =(-) Inverted input. 2) LOOP THRU (except SUBs): XLR-type output signal connector for connecting several units together and sending them all the same signal.
ON / OFF A sound system should be switched on sequentially. Switch on the self-powered units last in your sound system (switch on the subwoofer before the mid-high system). Switch on the sound sources such as CD players or turntables, then the mixer, then the processors, and finally the selfpowered unit. If you have several units, it is recommended that you switch them on sequentially one at a time.
Troubleshooting PROBLEM CAUSE No sound from the unit. The SIGNAL LED does not light up. 1 – The signal source is sending no signal. 2 – Defective cable. 1 – Check that the mixer or sound source is sending signal to the UNIT. 2 – Check that the cable from the sound source to the UNIT is connected correctly. Replace the cable if defective. Full power cannot be obtained. The LIMIT LED never lights up. The signal source does not have a hot enough output.

APPENDIX: Line connections: unbalanced and balanced There are two basic ways to transport an audio signal with microphone or line level: Unbalanced line: Utilising a two conductor cable, it transports the signal as the voltage between them. Electromagnetic interference can get added to the signal as undesired noise. Connectors that carry unbalanced signals have two pins, such as RCA (Phono) and ¼” (6.35mm, often referred to as jack) mono.
