FEATURES AND BENEFITS
DC Offset Protection
This circuit protects the output of the amplifier against DC voltage. If for some reason DC voltage is detected at the output stage, the amplifier will shut down protecting the speakers from direct current.
Short Circuit Protection
The circuit protects the amplifier from damage due to a short found in the speakers or wiring. If one of the speakers or its wiring comes in contact with ground, the amplifier will shut down. To resume normal operation, correct the problem and turn the head unit off, then back on. The amplifier will reset and play again.
Thermal Protection
To protect the amplifier circuitry against damage caused by prolonged exposure to high temperatures, a thermal protection circuit is activated if the amplifier reaches excessively high operating temperature. Once the thermal circuit is activated, the amplifier will shut down to cool off. The Amplifier will automatically turn back on once it cools down to a safe operating temperature.
Protection Indicator
This red diagnostic L.E.D. indicates that the amplifier has gone into protection. Once on, the amplifier will have no output. To resume normal operation, turn head unit off and back on again. If the amplifier immediately goes back into protection, check for high temperature, short circuits or low impedance.
Built-in Crossover
The amplifier is equipped with a
Bass Boost
For added low frequency performance the amplifier is equipped with a variable 12 dB bass boost.
