DEAR VALUED CUSTOMER.

Earthquake Sound Corporation specializes in manufacturing high end Home and Car audio products ranging from the smallest driver to the loudest subwoofer system. In its dedication to excellence, Earthquake has maintained extensive programs in research and development to provide you with the highest quality audio products.

The PA-600 is a ruggedly constructed high quality professional amplifier. The amplifier mounts into a standard 19" rack, requiring only two rack spaces (3-1/2 inches, vertically). Two automatic variable-speed internal cooling fans use the sides, rear and the front of the amplifier - not the top and bottom - for its air intake and exhaust, allowing you to stack multiple amplifier closer together in a rack mount situation. Additional rack support holes have been provided along the rear of the amplifier for the most secure installation possible. (Use of these additional supports is strongly recommended.)

The PA-600 produce up to 300 watts of power per channel @ 2 ohms, 200 watts per

channel @ 4 ohms stereo mode or 110 watts per channel @ 8 ohms (stereo mode); 560 watts

@4 ohms, 380 watts @ 8 ohms (bridged mono mode). Several "professional" features, such as 1/4" and XLR input jacks with electronically balanced Low or Medium impedance operation have been built into the amplifier. Limiting circuitry with LED indicators constantly monitors the output level of each channel and provides protection from clipping, thus preventing the generation of speaker-damaging square waves. A built-in protection circuit protects the amplifier from overloads, short circuits, and overheating. In addition, each channel features a Signal LED to assist in hookup and troubleshooting and a Fault LED which indicates when the internal protection circuitry is activated.

This owners manual is designed to better acquaint you with the PA-600 pro- amplifier. It is imperative that you read this manual in its entirety. EARTHQUAKE technicians and staff are looking forward to answer any questions you might have, please call (1-800-576-7944).
