LED TUBE INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL)

These Polk Audio amplifiers have been designed with a custom heat sink that can accommodate two (optional—not supplied) VARAD LED tubes.

1.Before installing the LED tubes, remove and discard the mounting feet from the VARAD LED tubes.

2.Slide each LED tube assembly into your Polk Audio amplifier heat sink. Ensure that the LEDs are facing out for optimal visibility. The wires from the LED tube assembly should be on the signal input end of the amplifier. The Black wire from the LED tube is ground and the Black/White wire from the LED tube is power.

3.Run the two wires from the tube assembly and connect them to the 4-pin LED/FAN input connec- tor. Refer to the LED/FAN harness diagram given earlier in this manual.

NOTE: If the optional fan IS NOT being used, we recom- mend that the second LED tube be wired to this circuit. If the optional fan is being used, we recommend that the second LED tube be wired in parallel with the first LED tube.

SUBSONIC FILTER ADJUSTMENT (PA1100.5 only)

This amplifier uses a subsonic filter to maximize the perfor- mance of a subwoofer. The subsonic filter is a high-pass filter that removes unwanted bass output at very low frequencies form the woofer. This increases the output

of a subwoofer by as much as 3 dB by increasing the mechanical power handling of the subwoofer. Depending on the type of enclosure the subsonic filter can increase the useable low frequency output by an additional 10dB!

Acceptable boost levels are determined by the type of enclosure used, wattage of the amplifier, and the subwoofer’s excursion capability.

The following guidelines should be used for proper set up of the subsonic filter to provide optimum performance and reliability from your system.
