Using the Controls (cont.)

Manual/Auto Power Switch (Rear Panel) 1

In the Auto mode, the AMP Three will turn on automatically when an input signal is sensed. In the absence of an input signal, the AMP Three will shut down automatically. (In the Auto mode, the front panel power switch should always remain in the on position.) In the Manual mode, use the front panel power switch to activate the AMP Three.

Hooking up the Wires

Audio signals travel out of one component and into another. All of your connections should also go from out to in.

Line In 2

If you are connecting a pre-amp to the AMP Three, connect the line out jacks from your signal source to the line in jacks on the AMP Three.

Bridging Switch (refer to wiring diagram) 3

In addition to providing 150 watts RMS per channel in the stereo mode, your AMP Three can be used as a high power mono amplifier, providing 400 watts RMS. This can be accomplished by toggling the bridging switch from the stereo position to the mono position. For mono applications, use only the right channel input. Similarly, use only the right channel input level control.

Note: Be sure to observe the correct speaker connections for bridged applications. Because of the high power output in this mode, we recommend initially setting the right level control at "min", and then adjusting the volume to the desired level.

Line Out/Thru 4

Connect the line out jacks from your signal source (receiver, CD player, preamplifier, etc.) to the line in jacks on the AMP Three.

Speaker Terminals 5

More than one pair of speakers can be used with the AMP Three. We have provided two pairs of speaker outputs, labeled Speaker A (left & right), and Speaker B (left & right). The speaker terminals are color coded. Red posts indicate positive (+) terminals and black posts indicate negative (–) terminals. Be sure to connect the positive output terminals of your AMP Three to the positive input terminals of your speakers and the negative output terminals of your AMP Three to the negative input terminals of your speakers.

Note: Refer to the wiring diagrams on the next page for proper connection of speaker cables.

AmpThree specifications

The AudioSource AmpThree is a versatile and powerful stereo amplifier designed for audiophiles and casual listeners alike. With a focus on high-quality sound reproduction, this amplifier is known for its exceptional performance, innovative features, and user-friendly design.

One of the AmpThree's standout characteristics is its robust power output. The amplifier delivers 100 watts per channel into an 8-ohm load, providing ample power to drive a wide range of speakers efficiently. Whether used in a home theater setup or as part of a multi-room audio system, the AmpThree ensures that every note is rendered with clarity and precision.

Equipped with a variety of connectivity options, the AmpThree offers flexibility for different audio setups. It includes RCA inputs for connecting various devices such as CD players, televisions, or streaming devices. Additionally, the amplifier features a built-in digital signal processing (DSP) technology, enabling users to customize their listening experience. This feature allows for sound optimization across different spaces and playback scenarios, enhancing audio quality to suit personal preferences.

One of the key technologies incorporated into the AmpThree is its Class D amplification. This modern amplification method is known for its efficiency and reduced heat generation compared to traditional Class A or Class AB amplifiers. As a result, the AmpThree can deliver high output while maintaining a smaller form factor, making it an ideal choice for those with space constraints.

In terms of design, the AudioSource AmpThree boasts a sleek and contemporary look, easily fitting into various home environments. Its front panel is user-friendly, featuring a simple power button, volume control, and input selection. Additionally, it is built with a durable casing that not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also provides necessary protection for the internal components.

Another noteworthy feature of the AmpThree is its ability to operate in bridge mode, allowing users to combine both channels for a more powerful mono output. This capability is particularly beneficial for driving larger speakers or subwoofers, making the AmpThree a strong candidate for both stereo and home theater applications.

Overall, the AudioSource AmpThree embodies a perfect blend of power, performance, and versatility. With its high-quality audio output, advanced technologies, and thoughtful design, it stands out in the crowded amplifier market, making it a top choice for those seeking a reliable and impressive audio experience. Whether for casual listening or more serious musical pursuits, the AmpThree delivers an auditory experience that is hard to beat.
