OPERATING MANUAL AND USER GUIDE INTRODUCTION The Wharfedale Pro DW-Series power amplifiers are designed and constructed to the highest standards. We wish to thank you for entrusting us with your sound. Please take a few minutes to read through this manual to ensure you get the most from your DWSeries amplifier. ABOUT THE DW-SERIES AMPLIFIERS The DW-Series of professional sound reinforcement power amplifiers are designed for high volume and quality sound reproduction in demanding applications.
DW Series FRONT PANEL Power Switch - Toggles the power on and off Protect LED - Lights up for 3 seconds when the unit is powered up, after this startup period it is used to indicate that protection is being provided. Causes for illumination of the fault LED can include overheating of the heat sink or DC voltage at the outputs. When the problem is corrected the indicator should switch off and normal operation will resume.
OPERATING MANUAL AND USER GUIDE REAR PANEL Mains Power - Take care to ensure the voltage selector shows the correct mains voltage for your local mains supply at the installation site. An appropriate mains cord is included in the original packaging, if this is not the case contact your dealer. Audio inputs/outputs - The main XLR input connectors should be connected to the outputs of your mixing console.
DW Series WIRING Connecting sources with unbalanced outputs requires bridging PIN1 and PIN3 of the power amps input connectors or removing PIN3, if this is not done hum and HF interference may occur. Use of high quality balanced cables (with 2 conductors for audio signal plus separate shielding) is recommended as most mixing consoles have balanced outputs. This type of interconnect will greatly reduce the chance of interference, noise or hum.
