Warranty Registration **IMPORTANT** Please take a moment to complete the warranty registration form located on our website.

Design features The Mini MC Series amplifiers are a multi-mono amplifier design that will produce peaks in excess of 250W with 8 ohm loads and 550W with 4 ohm loads per channel. Each of the mono amplifiers are powered from their own dedicated power supply. The compact and effective design is made easy thanks to the switching power supply that powers the bridged switching output stage derived from ICEpower™ technology.
for an easy remote power up every time. When the unit is in standby via the remote trigger, the amplifier is powered up, but disabled. The current draw in standby mode is less than 5W per channel, and shouldn’t measure on your electricity bill. The trigger input will work from 5-25V, so there shouldn’t be any issue with the voltage tolerance on source equipments outputs rated for 12V. Light bar brightness The light bar can be adjusted for brightness through a clearance hole on the bottom of the chassis.
XLR / RCA switch The XLR/RCA switch on the rear of the unit completely isolates the unbalanced input from the balanced input. The separation of all connections is to eliminate any possible combination of signals if both happen to be connected simultaneously. The input to the amplifier can only be selected by either the XLR or RCA input at any given time. Short circuit / over current protection Each channel has its own over-current and thermal protection.
6. If the switch is in the proper position and still no sound, then try replacing the interconnects to verify the connection between the amplifier and source. 7. Verifiy that the interconnects are conducting by replacing them on a different set from a connection that you know works. 8. Now that you have interconnects that you know work, try connecting the amplifier to another source that you know has worked in the past.
