BASS BOOST Variable bass boost from 0 to +18dB @ 45Hz. SENS Used to reach maximum amplier power with a wide variety of headunits. X-OVER CONFIG FLAT: Crossovers are turned o HPF: High pass crossover is on LPF: Low pass crossover is on +12V This must be connected to the fused positive terminal (+12V) of the car’s battery. The fuse must be located within 18 inches of the battery. REMOTE This must be connected to switched +12V, usually a trigger wire coming from the head unit or ignition. GROUND This must be connected to the negative terminal of the car’s battery or bolted to a clean, unpainted part of the chassis of the vehicle. SPEAKER OUTPUTS Used to connect the amplier to speakers. SD200.2 minimum impedance is 4 ohms bridged or 2 ohms stereo. Use Right + and Left - to bridge the channels.

1. Install all system fuses.

2. Set the amplier’s input sensitivity controls to their minimum positions

(full counterclockwise).

3. Set all amplier crossover switches according to your system’s design.

4. Make preliminary adjustments to the crossover frequency, usually 80Hz

is good starting point for high and low pass. It may be necessary to ne tune the crossover frequency later for the best overall sound quality.

6. Turn the headunit on with the volume set to minimum.

7. Visually check the amplier’s has turned on by the power LED.

8. Check the condition of all other components to make sure they are

9. Set the headunit’s tone controls, balance, and fader to the center (at)

position. Turn o any loudness or other signal processing features.

10. Set the volume control of the headunit for maximum undistorted output

(on most headunits this will be approximately 7/8 of maximum volume). Use a very clear and dynamic recording.

11. Turn up the sensitivity or input level control on the amplier until the

speakers reach maximum undistorted output.

12. Repeat sensitivity level adjustments for all other ampliers.

13. Reduce the headunit’s volume to a comfortable level.

14. Listen to various musical selections to check overall system balance.

Compare front to rear, midbass to midrange, etc. If one speaker set is too loud compared to another, then its level must be lowered to blend correctly with the other speakers. Note: For subwoofers controlled by the Remote level control, keep the level setting from step 11 or 12. Use the control to blend subwoofers with the rest of the system. The correct subwoofer volume will change depending on road noise and dierences in recordings.

15. Fine tune crossover frequencies to achieve the smoothest possible

blending of each speaker set.

16. Adjust the Bass Equalization Controls on the amplier, headunit or

processor upstream if necessary to increase output. Note: Use these controls sparingly. Every 3dB of boost requires double the power at 45Hz. If your subwoofer system requires a lot of boost to sound good, there may be a problem. Look for out-of-phase woofers, a leaking subwoofer box, or incorrect box size.

17. With all levels set correctly, the system will reach overall maximum

undistorted output at the volume level set in step 10. OVERVOLTAGE WARNING - If the voltage is above 14.4V across the +12V and ground terminal this will cause the amplier to go into protection mode. The result is no audio output from one or more channels. Voltage must between 11.5V to 14.4V for the amplier to operate correctly. No power: Check voltage at the amplier with a DMM (volt meter), +12v and R (with head unit on) the voltage should register between 11.5V and 14.4V when using the attached ground lead of the amplier. Check fuse at amplier and at the battery. Use a meter to verify connection from one end of the fuse to the other, breaks may not always be visible. If the fuse is blown, check the power wire and also the amplier for a short. If the short is in the amplier itself, see your Phoenix Gold dealer. If no short is present, replace the fuse. Power without sound: Turn the amplier o and check all input and output signal cables and power connections. Check the speakers for shorts with a DMM (volt meter) or by connecting them to another audio source. After making sure everything is correct, turn the amplier on again. Power without sound and the PROTECT LED is lit: The red PROTECT LED lights when the amplier shuts down for either thermal or over-current protection. A high internal amplier operating temperature will trigger thermal shutdown: after it cools about 5°C, the amplier will restart. A shorted speaker lead or operation into unusually low impedance loads will trigger over-current shutdown: cycle power at the amplier R terminal to restore operation. Check for shorted speaker wiring or damaged speakers or crossover systems if over-current shutdown occurs. No sound from one or more channels: Check for overvoltage on +12V and ground terminals. Check the balance control in the head unit. Check speaker connections. Check signal input connection. Very low output: Check your head unit’s fader control or the amplier’s input sensitivity level. Make sure subsonic frequency control is not set too high and LP frequency control is not set too low at the same time. Frequent amplier shutdown with automatic recovery: This indicates chronic amplier thermal shutdown because of operation at consistently high internal temperatures. High operating temperature can be caused by inadequate ventilation. Make sure you are not running a lower than recommend impedance. Also check for damaged speakers or passive crossover systems. Finally, chronic thermal shutdown may result from otherwise normal operation of the amplier at elevated output power levels, which can be resolved by providing additional amplier cooling, installing a higher-power amplier, or reducing amplier output level. “Motor Boating” - the power indicator going o repeatedly when the audio system is on: Check the amplier’s connection to the battery. Check battery voltage. If low, recharge or replace the battery. Check all ground connections.Manuel de l’amplicateur © 2011 Phoenix Gold • www.phoenixgold.com Spécifications CARACTÉRISTIQUES SD200.2: Réponse en fréquence: ± 1dB from 20Hz à 20kHz Rapport signal/bruit : >100dB Filtres passifs passe-haut et passe-bas: 12dB par Octave Plage du ltre passif passe-bas: 40Hz à 400Hz Plage du ltre passif passe-haut: 40Hz à 400Hz Amplication des basses à 45 Hz: 0 to +18dB Gamme d’entrée de niveau faible: 200 millivolts à 8 volts Charge minimale recommandée: 2 ohms Ecacité type: 70% Taux d’amortissement: Supérieur à 200 Puissance RMS 14.4Vdc ≤ 1% THD 75 x 2 @ 4 ohms Stereo 100 x 2 @ 2 ohms Stereo 200 x 1 @ 4 ohms Bridged Puissance Dynamique 14.4Vdc >1% THD 90 x 2 @ 4 ohms Stereo 125 x 2 @ 2 ohms Stereo 250 x 1 @ 4 ohms Bridged Taille de fusible: 25 amp Taille du l d’alimentation/de masse: calibre 8 Dimensions (Comprend les pieds de montage): 7.24” L x 6.93” W x 2.0” H 184mm L x 176mm W x 51mm H Dimensions (Comprend terminaux): 7.36” L x 6.93” W x 2.0” H 187mm L x 176mm W x 51mm HManuel de l’amplicateur © 2011 Phoenix Gold • www.phoenixgold.com ENTREE Connectez préampli câbles de signal de l’unité centrale à ces entrées.
