FRONT PANEL CONTROLS

1. Rack Ears

These ears are used to mount the amplifier in any standard 19” rack.

2. Fan Vent

The CV-Series amplifiers are cooled by two rear-mounted fans (ex- cept for CV-900 which is cooled by a single rear mounted fan). Cool air flows through the front fan filters, reducing the temperature of internal components while forcing the heat out the rear vents. Never block these vents and keep them clean at all time.

3. AC Power Switch

This switch powers the unit on and off.

4. Signal Indicators

These blue LED's will illuminate to indicate that a signal is present at the amplifier input, and that the signal is being amplified.

5. Clip Indicators

These red LED's will illuminate at the clipping threshold. These lights should not light up during normal use as they indicate signal outside of the amplification range of the amplifier. When a signal is "clipped" and the clip indicator illuminates, it means that the signal is being distorted at the output stage. Prolonged clipping can not only damage your amplifier, but also your speakers, so be careful to monitor the clip indicator during setup and use. If the clip indicator is illuminated then simply lower the channel gain or input signal until the indicator does not light.

These blue LED's indicate that AC power is connected and the am- plifier is turned on.

7. Protect Indicators

These red LED's indicate that the channel is in Protect mode. When the channel goes into protect mode all output for that channel will be muted. The protect LED's light when overheating or other severe problems occur. This is to protect any speakers con- nected to the channel. The LED's also light for approximately five seconds whenever the unit is powered on and fade slowly when the amplifier is powered off.

8. Channel input level control

These two 21-position detented potentiometers adjust input level for their respective amplifier channels. In Bridged Mono Mode, only channel 1 level control is used to adjust signal level. In Parallel Mode, both input level control are used to adjust signal level for their respective amplifier channels. At their fully counter-clockwise position, the signal is attenuated by more than 80dB. At their fully clockwise position, the signal is at maximum gain. When 0 dBu of signal arrives at the input jacks and the Chan- nel input level controls are set to their fully clockwise position, the unit delivers full power output.
