PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

OVERVIEW OF THE AMPLIFIER

The TA1501C amplifier is the first audio amplifier designed exclusively for use with Clark Synthesis transducers. This amplifier incorporates the latest digital technology and provides features not available on many amplifiers. Please read this manual in its entirety so you can get the maximum enjoyment from your Clark Synthesis product(s).

USING THIS AMPLIFIER WITH A CLARK SYNTHESIS TRANSDUCER

The TA1501C amplifier works with all Clark Synthesis transducers. This manual outlines how to use this amplifier with our transducers.

!CAUTION: This amplifier is designed to provide power to one (1) transducer.

Please note, the TA1501C can provide more continuous power than the transducer can handle. Why do we do this? Special effects audio signals often contain peaks that require extra power to be delivered to the transducer. This amplifier will supply those peaks without damaging the transducer, providing you, the user, with a true Tactile Sound experience.

FEATURES

The Clark Synthesis TA1501C Amplifier has the following features:

Class D design for powerful, clean sound

All-metal cabinet

Crisp, clean, and compact body design

Built-in Crossover Control that enables control of the cutoff point from 40 Hz to 400 Hz

Bypass control that disables the Crossover Control, allowing the amplifier to reproduce full-frequency audio

Front LED that indicates the amplifier is connected to AC power

Auto/On saves power by turning the amplifier stage on only when an audio signal is present

Powered loop-through allows you to connect multiple amplifiers together to a single audio source

Stereo inputs allow you to connect the amplifier to multiple sources. The audio is automatically combined inside the amplifier.

IEC-601 Connector allows you to use a power cord other than the power cord supplied. This is especially helpful if you live in a country that requires a different AC plug.

Amplifier automatically runs on AC power from 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz

The audio input section works with high-level and low-level line signals. This feature permits the amplifier to work with studio-level and consumer-level audio signals
