USER MANUAL IBUS 2.0 FOCAL

Thank you for choosing Focal and for sharing our passion for the “Spirit of Sound”. To obtain the best results from this product, we recommend that you follow carefully all the information contained in this user’s manual. If not correctly followed, any fault observed may not be covered by the guarantee. Warning Continuous listening at high sound level (above 110dB) can durably damage your hearing. Listening above 130dB can damage your hearing permanently. The Focal guarantee only applies if the enclosed guarantee card is returned to us within 10 days of purchase. Due to constant technological advances, Focal reserves its right to modify specifications without notice. Images may not conform exactly to specific product..

+12V: The +BATT power supply connector is dedicated to receiving the power supply cable ensuring the link between the amplifier and the postive (+) terminal of the battery. GND: The GND power supply connector (ground) is dedicated to receive the negative power supply wire linking the amplifier and the vehicle chassis. REM: The REM connector ensures the link between the IBUS 2.1 and the source (the car radio) via a REM or REMOTE output of the car radio. It permits to automatically switch on the amplifier as soon as the source (the car radio) is turned on). In some cases, the original head unit (OEM) does not have the remote wiring so they cannot send a signal for the start up of the IBUS2.1 enclosure. We advise to put out the cable of the ISO plug and connect the blue cable on a “plus” terminal after contact. Be careful to put off the AUTOPOWER ON connector (Nb 13). If you do not follow these guidelines, the IBUS2.1 may not give optimum performance.

OUTPUT/HI LEVEL INPUT : The output/high level terminal permits to connect the source with high-level signal but also to lead the bass enclosure amplified signal towards the speakers (left part : "OUTPUT") In the case of a RCA connection, you must disconnect the plug on the cable beam. These outputs permit to amplify your front channels (a 2-way kit) with a very high power (2x55W RMS). CAUTION: you must respect this order, if not you might damage the product. INPUT: The RCA sockets permit to convey the low level signal of the head unit to the amplifier. FUSE: The FUSE connector is dedicated to receive the fuse(s) of the amplifier. In case of replacement, make sure of the perfect conformity of the amperage. REMOTE CONTROL PLUG: the REMOTE CONTROL connector is dedicated to the wiring of the remote control supplied. GAIN: The GAIN rotary potentiometer permits to adjust the signal level coming in the amplifier. The tension gain varies from 0.2V to 5V. SUBSONIC: The SUBSONIC rotary potentiometer permits to set the high-pass filter value. The chosen value defines the frequency from which the signal is amplified. BASS BOOST: The BASS BOOST rotary potentiometer permits to increase the bass level from 0 to +18dB. The central frequency is 80Hz. LO PASS: The LO PASS rotary potentiometer permits the setting of the low-pass filter value. The selected value defines the frequency until which the signal is amplified. Hi PASS : The HI-PASS rotary potentiometer permits to adjust the high-pass filter value (the amplification is ensured up to the selected value). PHASE: The PHASE selector permits to adjsut the phase setting of the bass chanel according to the installation. To determine the correct position of this inverter, simply check if it provides the maximum of bass frequencies. Auto Power On: In ON mode, it's not necessary to connect the remote cable if you're using the high level inputs. Do not function with the RCA inputs. However, we prefer the direct remote wiring on a “plus after contact” (cf Nb 3). LED: The light indicator permits to check the correct working of the amplifier. When the LED is green, it means the amplifier is on and it's working correctly. WHen the LED is red, it means the amplifier is in protection mode following a dysfunction (overheating, wrong wiring, ...).
