REAR PANEL CONTROLS

7. Line 1 Input

A switching input that can be used if a second source is desired and will take over when a signal is present and has at least a 5mV level. Whenever there is no signal at this input, or a signal with less than 5mV level, the amplifier switches back to the Line 2 or “primary” input.

8. Speaker Level Input Line Select

Switches the input of the speaker level input to Line 1 or Line 2. 9. Speaker Level Input

Can be used to connect a source with speaker level output instead of line level outputs. Use the Speaker Level Input Line Select to route the source to Line 1 or Line 2.

10. Line 2 Input/Output

The primary line level input and output for a single source connection. 11. LFE Input

Optional connection to LFE output from your receiver. Bypasses amplifier volume control, use receiver to set levels. Also set Variable Crossover 5 to full clockwise position (500Hz) and Subsonic Filter 4 slightly lower than your woofer’s F3 point, or between 9 and 12 o’clock if woofer specs unavailable. See block diagram (figure 5) on page 5.

12. Soft Limiter Switch

When “ON” reduces extreme signal peaks which may damage your speakers and cause audible distortion.

Figure 2. Rear Panel

13. 12V Trigger

Allows the AMPSUB210 to be powered on by other electronics or to power on other electronics via a 3.5mm mini phone plug cable.

14. Power Mode

Sets the power on option of the AMPSUB210. Set it to Normal for manual power on/off. Set to Auto-On for signal sensing. Set to Trigger if the 12V Trigger input is used.

15. Light Bar Display Control

Turns light bar display on front panel on or off. Does not control Signal/Clip LEDs or power button light ring.

16. Speaker Output

Dual internally bridged speaker output terminals. If connecting two speakers they must be minimum 8 ohms each. DO NOT BRIDGE.

17. Mains Power Inlet & Fuse Holder

Accepts IEC type line cord. A fuse in the integrated holder provides safety protection from fault conditions: replace fuse with one of same type and rating only.

18. Mains Voltage Selector

Voltage selection switch is preset to 115V (USA). For use in areas which require 230V contact your dealer. Fuse must be of type and rating marked on amplifier for use at local mains voltage.
