Amplifier Maintenance and User Responsibility

A CS Series amplifier requires no routine maintenance and should not need internal adjustment during its lifetime. Your CS Series amplifier is very powerful and can be potentially dangerous to loudspeakers and humans alike. It is your responsibil- ity to read the Important Precautions section and to make sure that the amplifier is installed, wired and operated properly as instructed in this manual. Many loudspeakers can be easily damaged or destroyed by overpowering, especially with the high power available from a bridged amplifier. Read the Speaker Protection section and always be aware of the speaker’s continuous and peak power capabilities.
