ASAP2 SAT
BASIC CONCEPT
The audio amplifiers in most televisions, even monitors, usually deliver a few watts - not enough to properly drive many external speakers connected to the set. The ASAP2 amplifies any local sound source (like a TV or Multimedia), and will deliver 50 Watts per channel into 8 ohms or 65 watts per channel into 4 ohms. It also provides flawless automatic switching between the Local source (TV) and a Main house audio system. The versatile triggering system will allow multitude of automation possibilies. When connected to both sources, the ASAP2 enables the local area speakers to play the Main music system normally, and then switch to the Local music source automatically.
BASH® POWER AMPLIFICATION
The Sonamp® ASAP2 uses a new revolutionary power amplifier technology called BASH® that is high efficiency and requires very little heat sink area. Conventional power amplifier technology to produce the same power output would require massive heat sinks and a larger chassis for cooling. The amplifier is fully protected against overheating, short circuits and low impedance loading.
UNPACKING
Save your carton and the styrofoam inserts for future safe transport in case you move or the unit ever requires shipping for repair. Note, it is best if you place it into an additional outer "overcarton" before shipment to minimize a chance of theft in shipment.
Before you proceed, find the serial number which is located on the rear panel of the unit and note it here for future reference.

PLACEMENT OF YOUR ASAP2 SAT
The ASAP2 is designed to operate automatically and is housed in a compact chassis that can be mounted out of sight. The unit can be placed horizontally on its rubber feet, or the rubber feet can be easily removed by peeling them off of the bottom of the chassis for rack mounting. When used with a TV set, it may be convenient to hide the unit on the back or side wall of the cabinet or bookshelf (not on the TV itself). The ASAP2 features screw mounting holes on the bottom of the chassis (see figure on top of next column). Mount the ASAP2 vertically with the heat sinks on top. As with any other power amplifier, allow for adequate air circulation around the unit and do not mount it in direct sunlight or near a heat source such as hot air ducts or radiators.
MOUNTING
SCREW HOLES
DO NOT PLUG THE ASAP2 IN UNTIL ALL OTHER CONNECTIONS ARE MADE. MAKE SURE ALL SOURCE AMPLIFIERS BEING CONNECTED TO THE UNIT ARE OFF
MAKING CONNECTIONS
Before making any signal or speaker connections, make sure your power amplifier is turned off and unplugged. When making connections, make sure there is no strain or tension on input leads or speaker wires that could cause them to pull loose later on.
Input and Output Connections
Use the RCA jacks for the R and L channels. Make sure these are consistent with the R and L outputs from your preamplifier/receiver.
Looping Jacks
Your ASAP2 provides a pair of RCA output jacks, which duplicate the input signal.These facilitate connection of additional power amplifiers from a single source component.With these
Speaker Connections
Very Important: Before starting, the output connections are naturally in bridged mode. This means that the negative terminals are inverting power amplifiers. NO COMMON GROUNDS! Do not connect negative terminals together under any circumstances. Never use 3 conductor wire, sharing the negative output terminals.
