3. IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION

• This appliance may only be connected to a 12 volt system with negative ground.
• The heat radiated when the amplifier is used means that sufficient air circulation is required at the place of installation. It is very important that the cooler's cooler ribs do not contact any metal plating or any surfaces which could impair air circulation. The amplifier may not be installed in small confined spaces or spaces without air circulation (e.g. spare wheel recess or under the vehicle carpeting). Installation in the boot is recommended.
  Install the amplifier in such a way that it is protected as far as possible against vibrations and dust and dirt.
• Make sure that the input/output cables are sufficiently distant from the power supply cables as otherwise interference may occur.
• Make sure that the fuse and operating elements are accessible after installation.
• The appliance's reliability and performance depend on the quality of installation. Preferably get an expert to install the system, particularly if you want to install several loudspeakers or a complex multi-way system.

4. CONNECTIONS

4.1 POWER SUPPLY AND AUTOMATIC SWITCHING ON

Important notice: Before commencing the installation, disconnect the plus terminals from the car battery in order to prevent short circuits.

The power cabling usually installed in on-board car networks is not sufficient for a power amplifier's demands. Make sure that the power lines to GND and to the +12V terminal have been sufficiently specified. Acable cross-section of at least 20mm^2 must be used to connect the battery to the amplifier's terminals.

First connect the amplifier's GND terminal to the battery's minus pole. It is very important that the connection is good. Dirt residues must be carefully removed from the battery's connection point. A loose connection may cause malfunctions or interference noise or distortion.

The +12V amplifier connection must then be connected with a power cable possessing an integrated fuse to the battery's plus pole. The fuse must be located close to the battery, the length of cable from the battery's positive pole to the fuse must be less than 60 centimetres for safety reasons. Only insert the fuse when all installation work, including the connection of the loudspeakers, has been completed.

Now connect the car hi-fi receiver's remote control connection to the amplifier's REM control jack. A cable with a cross-section of 0.75mm^2 is sufficient for connecting the amplifier's REMOTE connection and the control device.

4.2 AUDIO CABLES

When installing the audio cable between the cinch output of your car receiver and the cinch input of the amplifier inside your car, the audio and power supply cables should, wherever possible, not be routed along the same side of the vehicle. We recommend an isolated installation, e.g. routing the power cable through the cable duct on the left-hand side and the audio cable through the cable duct on the right-hand side or vice versa. This reduces interference due to crosstalk into the audio cables.

This also applies to the connecting cable for the remote control for regulating the volume. This cable should not be laid on the side of the power supply leads but together with the audio cable.

4.3 LOUDSPEAKER CONNECTIONS

The lowest terminal resistance in normal mode is 1 ohm
- When two amplifiers are bridged (see Fig. 5), the smallest terminating resistance is 2 ohm.
- Never connect the loudspeakers' minus terminals to the vehicle chassis.
- Never connect the +12V supply voltage to a loudspeaker output as this would destroy the amplifier final stage.

If the amplifier is operated with lower terminal resistances or incorrectly used as described above, both the amplifier and the loudspeakers may be damaged. The warranty becomes void in such cases.

5. OPERATING ELEMENTS AND IN/OUTPUTS

5.1 SETTING THE INPUT SENSITIVITY

The input sensitivity may be adapted to any car radio or tape deck. Turn the volume control of your radio to its central position and then adjust the input-level control (9) to produce an average medium volume. This setting usually provides sufficient power reserves at optimum weighted noise voltage.

ATTENTION: only reproduce loud test noises briefly to prevent damaging the loudspeakers.

5.2 LOW-PASS FILTER WITH ADJUSTABLE CROSS-OVER FREQUENCY

Set the desired cross-over frequency with the control (7). This makes the filter adaptable to the installed woofer's sound requirements. The filter's high edge steepness is responsible for the precision reduction of medium and high frequency ranges.

5.3 SUBSONIC FILTER

The subsonic function reduces the lowest bass frequencies. The reduction rate may be infinitely adjusted with the regulator (8). This allows distortions produced by excessive loudspeaker membrane movements to be effectively minimized without reducing the usable bass levels.

5.4 BASS-BOOST

The bass-boost function (5) is used to increase or equalize the lower bass frequencies.

5.5 VOLUME REMOTE CONTROL

The volume may be adjusted by using the supplied remote control. Please observe during installation that the remote control line shouldn't be routed along the same side of the vehicle as the power supply cables. The remote control unit should be mounted on the dashboard or at any other easily accessible position. Now, the subwoofer volume may be adjusted independently from the settings at the radio.

5.6 OUTPUTS FOR CONNECTING ADDITIONAL AMPLIFIERS / NORMAL MASTER/SLAVE MODE

The master/slave mode permits the use of several Pantera Digital 1000 amplifiers (Slaves) with the same filter and volume settings as used for a single Pantera Digital 1000 amplifier (master).

In master/slave mode, the "masters" preamp output signal (PREAMP OUTPUT (2)) is added to the slave amplifiers high-performance amplifier input (AMP INPUT (1)), see also Fig. 4 and 5. To this end, the switch (3) on the "master" amplifier (A) must be set to "NORMAL", the switch (3) on the "slave" amplifier (B) to "BYPASS".

It must be noted that the phase of the output signal from the slave amplifier operated through the AMP INPUT is inverted by 180^ in relation to the master amplifier. That's why the slave amplifiers subwoofer must be connected with inverted polarity in normal master/slave mode (see also Fig. 4, "SPEAKER" connectors for Amplifier B), i.e. loudspeaker plus pole to minus terminal and loudspeaker minus pole to plus terminal on the amplifier.

This is independent of the setting of the phase selection switch, which is exclusively for optimizing phase response between subwoofer and satellites.

5.7 MASTER/SLAVE MODE WITH TWO BRIDGED AMPLIFIERS

Two Pantera Digital 1000 may be bridged together to increase performance, the loudspeakers'minus terminals must be interconnected with the loudspeaker cables and the loudspeakers connected as shown in Fig. 5.

FIG.1 POWER SUPPLY / REMOTE SWITCH-ON CONNECTION

(1) GND terminal for the ground, to the battery's minus pole
(2) REM terminal for remote switch-on
(3) Terminal for +12V battery voltage
(4) Battery
(5) Cable fuse
(6) To your car radio's automatic aerial connection

If your car is not equipped with an automatic aerial connection, connect this cable's plus pole (+) to the ignition lock. An on/off switch should be inserted in this case. Make sure that this switch is switched off if the amplifier is not used.
