PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Front Panel Overview

GAIN (VOLUME) CONTROL

The Gain (Volume) Control on the face of the TA1501C amplifier controls the degree to which the input signal is amplified. The gain level, combined with the level of the input signal, determines the actual volume output.

CROSSOVER (X-OVER) CONTROL

The Crossover Control on the face of the TA1501C amplifier controls the range of low-frequency (bass) sound sent to the output device, i.e. transducer, speaker, etc. This control is only functional when the Low Pass/Bypass Switch is in the “Low Pass” position. The range of low- frequency sound controlled by this dial is 40 Hz to 400 Hz.

AUTO/ON SWITCH

The Auto/On Switch allows the user to place the amplifier into either Auto On/Standby mode or On.

When the switch is set to “Auto” and no input signal is received by the amplifier, the amplifier stage will power down and go into Standby mode. Upon sensing an input signal, the amplifier will power on automatically.

When the switch is set to “On,” the amplifier will remain powered on, regardless of whether an input signal is present or not.

LOW PASS/BYPASS SWITCH

The Low Pass/Bypass Switch enables and disables the Crossover function and control dial of the amplifier. When the switch is in the “Low Pass” position, the amplifier only passes low- frequency sounds. When the switch is in the “Bypass” position, the amplifier passes the full range of audio frequencies.

POWER INDICATOR (LED)

The Power Indicator LED displays the power mode. If the LED is:

RED- The amplifier is plugged into AC power and the power switch on the back of the amplifier is switched to “On.” If the Auto/On switch is set to “Auto,” a red LED indicates no audio input signal has been received by the amplifier.

GREEN- The amplifier is plugged into AC power and the power switch on the back of the amplifier is switched to “On.” If the Auto/On switch is set to “Auto,” a green LED indicates an audio input signal is being received by the amplifier, or, if the Auto/On switch is set to “On,” the amplifier is on.
