Owner’sManual

DESCRIPTION

The APX201.2 and APX401.2 use an unregulated MOSFET power supply for superior control of output wattage. A toroid-coil transformer yields maximum power transfer with minimal heat loss. Extensive attention to circuit design keeps AM RFI at low levels, so you won’t hear unwanted noise when the level is cranked up. Protection circuits safeguard the amplifier when overheating, speaker shorts, or improper load conditions occur.

All connections and controls of the APX201.2 and APX401.2 are on the end panels and are easy to understand. Gold-plated RCA and barrier connectors are used to ensure the best electrical connection for your system. Integrated into the power and speaker end panel is an external automotive type fuse that is easy to replace.

The front panel of the APX201.2 and APX401.2 both contain connections for RCA Inputs or Speaker Level Inputs and Audio Controls as shown below.
