Front Panel Power Button The power button turns the amplifier on and off. When the Sonance logo power button is engaged, the power button is illuminated solid white. This means the amplifier has power and is turned ON and ready to operate. When the Sonance logo button is slightly dimmed, the amplifier is in standby mode. When the Sonance logo button blinks white, the amplifier power supply is in thermal protection.
Powering the Amplifier If the electrical service is subject to frequent sags, spikes or brownouts, a power conditioner designed for use with high fidelity equipment should be employed to protect the amplifier. The Sonamp DSP 2-150 MKII features a removable IEC power cord (see Figure 6). A 14 gauge EIA standard 120 volt grounded power cable is included with the amplifier.
Speaker Connections Source Connections DSP 2-150 MKII For the best sound you should use premium speaker wire that complies with fire rating codes. Be sure to check local codes governing wire that may be installed within walls or ceilings. Sonamp amplifiers are stable with any reputable brand of speaker wire or cable. The Sonamp amplifiers use speaker block connectors that can accommodate up to 12 gauge wire (see Figure 9).
Protection Circuitry and LEDs Rack Ear Installation DSP 2-150 MKII The Sonamp amplifiers have a multi-stage protection system to prevent damage to your amplifier and speakers. The DSP 2-150 MKII ships with two long rack ears for when the amplifier is to be used alone in a 1U space. Unscrew the four Phillips head screws (M4 x 0.7 pitch x 10mm long) found on each side of the left and right forward section of amplifier. Use these screws to connect the included rack ears to the amplifier (see Figure 15).
