AMPLIFIER FEATURE DESCRIPTIONS

GLADIATOR AMPLIFIERS:

Each model is capable of 4 & 2-Ohms stereo per channel, or 4-Ohms mono bridged operation except the mono amps which are capable of 4, 2 and 1-Ohm loads.

Tri-Mode operation with any stereo pair of amplifier channels is possible, as with all bridgeable amplifiers.

The input sensitivities for rated output powers are variable from 0.2V to 6V for the multi channel amplifiers and 0.2V to 9V for the mono models.

All crossovers are fully variable in their respective ranges. Crossover filters are 12dB/Octave.

A POWER LED indicates the powered up and turned on condition.

All Hifonics amplifiers feature a comprehensive diagnostic system, with speaker lead short circuit, and amplifier DC faults indicated by the red “PROTECT” LED.

CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE ANY AMPLIFIER BELOW THE INTENDED IMPEDANCE. YOU WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE AMPLIFIER THAT WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY PRINTED IN THE BACK OF THE MANUAL. 2 & 4 Channel amps are capable of 4 and 2-Ohms wired stereo and 4-Ohms wired mono bridged. The mono amps are capable of 4, 2 and 1-Ohm.

The 4 channel amps have the same features as the 2 channel models accept that there are 2 sets of controls.

1 set for channels 1 & 2 and 1 set for channels 3 & 4.

In addition, the 4 channel models have a Mode switch which allows you to select 2 or 4 channel operation. Switch to 2 channel if you only have 1 set of RCA’s in CH 1/2 and the unit will automatically supply signal to channels 3/4. Select 4 channel if you are providing RCA’s to channels 1/2 and 3/4.

The X-OVER slide switch selects the internal crossover functions:

-The input signal is routed directly to the LINE OUT RCA jacks, regardless of the X-OVER setting simplifying daisy chaining of amplifiers.

-HI: Selects the built in HI PASS filter.

-FULL: Bypasses all crossovers for full frequency range operation.

-LP/BP: Selects the built in LOW PASS filter.

HI PASS: Variable low frequency cut off from 10Hz to 15kHz.

LOW PASS: Variable high frequency cut off from 30Hz to 150Hz.

BASS EQ: 45Hz bass boost variable from 0dB to 10dB.

LEVEL: Variable LEVEL (GAIN) control from 6.0V to 0.2V.

LINE INPUT: The line input accepts unbalanced (RCA) inputs from 0.2V to 6V.

LINE OUTPUT: The line output passes through signal from the line inputs which allows you to daisy chain multiple amplifiers from one signal.

SUBSONIC: Crossover filter from 15Hz to 35Hz.

LOW PASS: Crossover filter from 30Hz to 250Hz.

LEVEL: Adjusts the input sensitivity from 0.2 volts to 9 volts.

BASS EQ: Adjustable bass boost from 0db to 10dB.

PHASE: The Phase Shift is fully adjustable from 0 to 180 degrees and this allows you to control time alignment.

REMOTE: This is the input jack for the remote Level control.

BALANCED INPUT: Accepts line level balanced input from 0.4v to 18v.

LINE INPUT: The line input accepts unbalanced (RCA) inputs from 0.2V to 9V.

LINE OUTPUT: The line output passes through signal from the line inputs which allows you to daisy chain multiple amplifiers from one signal.

-The LINE INPUT signal is routed directly to the LINE OUT RCA jacks, and not affected by the settings on the amplifier simplifying daisy chaining of amplifiers.

SUBSONIC: Crossover filter from 15Hz to 35Hz.

LOW PASS: Crossover filter from 30Hz to 250Hz.

LEVEL: Adjusts the input sensitivity from 0.2 volts to 9 volts.

BASS EQ: Adjustable bass boost from 0db to 10dB.

PHASE: The Phase Shift is fully adjustable from 0 to 180 degrees and this allows you to control time alignment.

REMOTE: This is the input jack for the remote Level control.

BALANCED INPUT: Accepts line level balanced input from 0.4v to 18v.

LINE INPUT: The line input accepts unbalanced (RCA) inputs from 0.2V to 9V.

LINE OUTPUT: The line output passes through signal from the line inputs which allows you to daisy chain multiple amplifiers from one signal.

-The LINE INPUT signal is routed directly to the LINE OUT RCA jacks, and not affected by the settings on the amplifier simplifying daisy chaining of amplifiers.

The BRE2500.1D is a linkable amplifier and features a MASTER / SLAVE selection switch and IN / OUT RCA connection.
