P age 10 Crest A udio Pro Series P ower Amplifiers Connecting Inputs Input connections are made via the 3-pin XLR connectors (pin 3+) on the rear panel of the amplifier . The inputs are activ ely balanced. Pinout and polarity of connection cables should be configured as sho wn at the right.
Crest A udio Pro Series P ower Amplifiers P age 11 Connecting P ower Professional Series po wer amplifier po wer requirements are rated at: a) “idle” b) 1/8th power (“typical” music conditions) c) 1/3rd po wer (“continuous” music conditions) d.
P age 12 Crest A udio Pro Series P ower Amplifiers Bridging Precautions Use extreme caution when operating the amplif ier in the bridged mode; as potentially lethal voltage may be present at the output ter- minals. Ne ver ground either side of the speaker cable when the amplif ier is in the bridged mode; both sides are hot.
Crest A udio Pro Series P ower Amplifiers P age 13 Indicators Professional Series amplifiers feature four front panel LED indicators per channel: Clip/Limit, Signal, T emp/DC, and Activ e. These LED indicators inform the user of each channel’ s operating status and warn of possible abnormal conditions.
P age 14 Crest A udio Pro Series P ower Amplifiers Thermal Protection The internal fan(s) will keep the amplif ier operating well within its intended temperature range under all normal conditions.
Crest A udio Pro Series P ower Amplifiers P age 15 All loudspeakers ha ve electrical, thermal, and physical limits which must be observed to pre vent damage or f ailure. T oo much power , low frequencies applied to high frequenc y drivers, severely clipped w aveforms, and DC v oltage can all be fatal to cone and compres- sion dri v ers.
