Unpacking

Carefully unpack and inspect your A300 for shipping damage. If your A300 is damaged please contact your local Crowson dealer or a Crowson technical support representative for guidance.

Check for the following accessories:

1.Remote control (complete with two AAA batteries)

2.Detachable AC power cord

1Power Button: Press the front panel Power Button to turn the A300 on. The “on” state is indicated by blue illumination around the button. Press the Power Button again to turn the A300 off. The power can also be turned on and off with the remote control. The Power Button controls the standby condition when the rear panel power switch is set to Auto. Note: It is normal for the A300 Power Standby Indicator to ﬂash brieﬂy while the A300 is turned on.

2Power Standby Indicator: The A300 is in “standby” mode when the Power Standby Indicator is illuminated red.

3LPF Knob: The LPF, or Low Pass Filter, removes unwanted high frequency content from the output signal. Adjusting the LPF Knob to the preferred setting will ensure that desirable low-frequency motion is present, while undesirable high-frequency content (such as motion from human voices) is not. Proper adjustment of the LPF Knob will allow your motion experience to most closely resemble a real-world sound experience. The LPF Knob allows adjustment of the frequency at which the ﬁltering begins. Start with the knob set to 320Hz. Reduce the frequency setting if unwanted high frequency content such as voices is present during testing. Increase the setting if you feel that desirable content is being unnecessarily removed.

4Volume Knob: Adjust the intensity of motion by turning the Volume Knob clockwise to increase, or counter- clockwise to decrease. Set the intensity to preferred levels. If the red Peak Indicators above the Volume Knob illuminate during periods of intense motion, reduce the volume until the Peak Indicators are not ﬂashing. The volume can also be adjusted with the remote control.

5Peak Indicators: The L(left) and R(right) peak indicators will illuminate red when the A300 is achieving it’s maximum output. Although the A300 contains a soft clip feature that prevents overload and distortion during maximum output, peak indicator illumination should be avoided.
