DESCRIPTION

UNPACKING & WARRANTY

Carefully open the packaging and take out the power amplifi er. Next to the power amplifi er itself, the package also includes this owner’s manual, a mains cord and the warranty certifi cate. Keep the original invoice, which states the purchase/delivery date together with the warranty certificate at a safe place.

INSTALLATION NOTES

Generally, installing or mounting power amps should be carried out in a way that guarantees continu- ously unopposed front-to-rear air circulation. Installation of appliances with opposite air circulation within one cabinet or closed rack shelf system is not recommended. When including an appliance in a closed cabinet or rack shelf system make sure to provide suffi cient ventilation. Leave a gap of at least 60mm x 330mm (up to the cabinet’s top ventilation louvers) for air circulation between the rear of the power amplifi er and the cabinet’s/rack’s rear inner wall. Make sure to leave at least 100mm of space above the cabinet or rack shelf system. Since temperatures inside of the cabinet or rack shelf system can easily rise up to 40°C during operation, bearing in mind the maximally allowable environmental temperature during operation for all other appliances installed in the same rack shelf system is mandatory (also refer to “MAINS OPERATION AND RESULTING TEMPERATURE”).

Caution: For trouble-free operation exceeding the maximally allowable environmental tem- perature of +40°C is not permissible.

The use of installation rails or optionally available “rear-rack-mount” rails is strongly recommended when installing the appliance in a rack shelf system or cabinet to prevent the front panel from bending.

The power amplifi er has to be protected against: dripping or splashing water, direct sunlight, high tem- peratures or direct infl uence of heat sources, high humidity, extensive dust and vibrations. Condensation on internal parts may occur when transporting the power amplifier from a cold into a warmer environment. In that case operation is only permissible after the appliance has gained the new temperature (after approximately one hour). If foreign objects or liquids have entered the power amplifi er’s enclosure make sure to instantly separate the appliance from the mains power and contact an authorised service centre for inspection before continuing operation.

CL 1200, CL 2000 specifications

The Dynacord CL 1200 and CL 2000 are robust power amplifiers known for their superior performance and reliability in demanding sound reinforcement applications. These amplifiers are designed with cutting-edge technology, making them suitable for a variety of professional settings including live concerts, installations, and corporate events.

One of the main features of the CL series is their Class D amplification technology. This design not only provides high efficiency but also significantly reduces energy consumption and heat generation compared to traditional Class AB amplifiers. The result is a lightweight and compact unit that delivers powerful audio output without the burden of excessive weight.

Both the CL 1200 and CL 2000 models differ primarily in their output power capabilities. The CL 1200 is capable of delivering up to 1200 watts per channel, while the CL 2000 can reach an impressive 2000 watts per channel. This makes them adaptable to different venue sizes, ensuring that there is ample power for various performance needs.

Another key characteristic of both models is their versatile connectivity options. These amplifiers come equipped with XLR and TRS inputs as well as binding post and speakON outputs, making them compatible with a wide range of sound systems and speaker configurations. This flexibility is crucial for audio professionals who need to adapt their setup quickly in different environments.

Advanced protection features are also integrated into the design of the CL amplifiers. They feature temperature control, short circuit protection, and overload protection, ensuring that the equipment remains safe and operational under various conditions. This reliability is paramount for live sound applications where equipment failure can have serious consequences.

The user-friendly interface allows for easy setup and operation. The built-in LED indicators provide real-time monitoring of the amplifier's status, helping users to quickly identify any issues that may arise. This assists audio engineers in maintaining optimal performance throughout events.

In summary, the Dynacord CL 1200 and CL 2000 amplifiers are characterized by their powerful output, Class D technology, flexible connectivity, and advanced protection features. These amplifiers are engineered to meet the demands of professional audio applications, making them a preferred choice for sound reinforcement solutions. With robust performance and reliability, the CL series stands out as a leading option in today's competitive audio market.
