1. Replaceable Fuses:

Each mono block has two (10 Amperes) fuses designed to protect and monitor the voltage of operating rails (+/-). If a fuse burns out you may replace it with the following fuse size: 10A - 250V, 5mm x 20mm, mini fuse slow blow. If fuses continue to blow check for shorts in the wiring system.

2. RCA Input:

Accepts low-level signal from any source. It takes 1.6V to output the rated power.

3. Input Selector:

To maintain signal integrity Cinénova-7 provides you with an “Input Selector Switch”. This gives you (installer) the option to select between RCA or XLR inputs.

4. Fully Balanced XLR Inputs:

We recommend the use of fully balanced XLR inputs in cases when the distance between the Cinénova and the audio source is excessive and susceptible to noise interference.

5. Three-way Crossover Switch:

A 3-way switch controls the operation of the output filter. The amp can run in full-range, low-pass, or high-pass mode to be used for different applications.

6. Variable Crossover 20Hz-5kHz:

Each monaural block features a built-in variable filter to select the desired frequency range, with a slope of 12dB/Octave. The fully buffered filter has a range of 20Hz when set to minimum to 5 kHz when set to maximum. This V/R is inactive when crossover switch is in by-pass mode.

7. Fused Fault Indicators:

Each fuse carries its own fault LED indicator that illuminates when the fuse is burnt.

8. Gold Plated Speaker Output Binding Posts:

We recommend that you use a high quality wire constructed of fine, multi-strand copper 10-gauge and up. Wire with a gauge of 16 may be used for short runs of less than twenty feet. We do not recommend that you use any wires with a gauge equivalent of 18 or higher due to the power loss and performance degradation.

9.Main Circuit Breaker

The enormous amount of power generated by the amplifiers requires a stable 120 or 240V connection. Your amplifier is supplied with a heavy-duty 20A circuit breaker. If power to your amplifier is interrupted, check the circuit breaker on the rear of the unit. If the breaker is in the off position you may reset it to the on position to restore AC power. If the circuit breaker automatically trips to the off position.

To ensure proper operation, we recommend a dedicated 20amp circuit breaker because a proper power supply translates to better performance. Most

homes are wired with 20A circuits, but there is a chance that the wall receptors are rated at 15A. IF IN DOUBT, CONSULT WITH AN ELECTRICIAN.

10. AC Input Connector

A special heavy duty - 20 Amperes - AC cord is included with every unit. Do not attempt to replace the AC cord with lesser quality AC cords.

11. 12VDC Trigger

In order for the Cinénova Turn-ON to be controlled via another source, connect the 12VDC trigger input to the 12VDC source output (polarity is not an issue). From your source, 12VD should have over 20mA. Then set the manual power switch to OFF and the circuit breaker to ON. Now any time the Cinénova detects an incoming 12VDC signal it will automatically power on.

Cinenova 5, Cinenova 7 specifications

The Earthquake Sound Cinenova series, which includes the Cinenova 7 and Cinenova 5 amplifiers, represents a high-performance solution for audio enthusiasts seeking power, clarity, and reliability in home theater systems. Both models from Earthquake Sound are designed to provide exceptional audio fidelity while accommodating various speaker configurations, making them ideal for audiophiles and home theater aficionados alike.

The Cinenova 7 is a 7-channel power amplifier that delivers a staggering amount of power, with each channel capable of providing up to 200 watts into 8 ohms and even more into lower impedances. One of its standout features is the use of Class A/B amplification technology, which ensures minimal distortion and high linearity, providing listeners with a rich and detailed sound signature. This model is designed to effortlessly drive large speakers, making it suitable for immersive movie experiences and dynamic musical performances.

On the other hand, the Cinenova 5 is a versatile 5-channel amplifier that also boasts impressive output capabilities, delivering around 250 watts per channel into 8 ohms. This model is particularly appealing to those who want to build a robust home theater system without compromising on performance. The Cinenova 5 features LED indicators that provide real-time feedback on operation status and protection, allowing users to monitor their system’s health easily.

Both the Cinenova 7 and Cinenova 5 are equipped with advanced thermal management systems that include high-capacity heat sinks and dynamic fan control, ensuring they maintain optimal operating temperatures even during prolonged use. This results in improved efficiency and longevity, making them suitable for extended listening sessions without the fear of overheating.

Another significant feature across both models is their compatibility with a wide range of audio formats, including multi-channel surround sound setups. Their high input impedance offers remarkable flexibility, allowing them to integrate seamlessly into existing audio systems, whether for movies, music, or gaming.

Overall, the Earthquake Sound Cinenova series stands out for its exceptional build quality, innovative technology, and superior audio performance. These amplifiers are ideal for anyone looking to elevate their audio experience and achieve cinema-quality sound within the comfort of their own home.
