Installation Remove all packing materials. Check that all foam and plastic padding has been removed. Secure the equipment into a 19" rack. Connect all cables. Set Up and Operation Before plugging the unit in, always make sure that the power supply matches the product specification voltage. Do not attempt to operate a 120V specification product on 240V power, or vice versa. Do not supply power before all components of the system are set up and connected properly.
Connecting Outputs Speakers can be connected using Banana plugs, Speakon plugs or bare wire to the binding posts on the rear panel of the amplifier. Consult the Wire-Gauge-Chart to determine suitable wire gauges for different load impedances and cable lengths. The red binding posts are considered „hot“, connected to the positive poles of the speakers, while the black binding-posts are Signal Ground, connected to the negative poles of the speakers.
Bridged Mono Operation Both amplifier channels can be bridged together to make a very powerful single channel amplifier. When the Mode switch is set to the “Bridge” position, 1 channel “pushes”, while the other “pulls” equally. Thus effectively doubling the power. Use extreme caution when operating the amplifier in the bridged mode. To bridge the amplifier, set the mode switch to the “Bridge” position.
Signal-LED This green LED lights, when its channel produces an output signal of about 4 Volt RMS or more (0,1V or more at the input, with 0dB attenuation and standard 40X voltage gain). It is useful to determine whether the amplifier is amplifying a signal. Protect LED When the red LED lights, indicating that the channel has overheated, the channel’s output relay is open, and the speaker(s) has been disconnected for any of the following reasons: 1.
Connection Cables Take care of your cables, always holding them by the connectors and avoiding knots and twists when coiling them: This gives the advantage of increasing their life and reliability. Periodically check your cables. A great number of problems (faulty contacts, ground hum, discharges, etc.) are caused entirely by using unsuitable or faulty cables.
Maintenance The DAP Audio Palladium-series requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean. Disconnect the mains power supply, and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Do not use alcohol or solvents. Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the audio connections with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying electric power.
