WARNING SYMBOLS

TYPE OF DANGER: Warning - Danger Zone

TYPE OF DANGER: Warning - High Voltage

DANGER Hazardous Voltage

Hazardous voltage may be present at cable ends and screw terminals. The connection of screw terminals as well as all maintenance and repair work on the electrical installation of the device must only be performed by qualified electrical personnel in volt-free-condition. Failure to do so may result in electric shock and risk of fire and loss of life.

By all means you have to observe all electrical safety instructions applicable at the place of operation.

DANGER Electric shock caused by short-circuit

Always use proper ready-made insulated mains cabling (power cord) with a protective contact plug. Do not modify the mains cable or plug. Failure to do so could result in electric shock/death or fire. If in doubt, seek advice from a registered electrician.

WARNING: The mains plug/appliance coupler is used as disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

1) Disconnect the AC power cord from the MAINS.
2) Strip 10 to 15 mm of the wire insulation of the speaker cable.
3) Connect the speaker cable to the apparatus and the speakers carefully so as not to touch the core of speaker cable by hand. Also disconnect the AC power cord from the MAINS before disconnecting the speaker cable from the apparatus and the speakers.

A. Audio Inputs (see page 4)

Inputs for connecting the HTAmplifier to the outputs of an AVR, pre-pro, or other devices.

B. Remote Trigger Input And Output (see page 5)

Power On/Off using 8-24v signal from connected device, such as AVR, control system or processor.

The HTA Amp supply trigger link out to another amplifier ( use the 1/8" mono jack connect )

C. ON/Trigger Power Switch

In ON position: the Power switch on the front panel turns the HTA Amp on and off.

In TRIGGER position: the HTA can be turned on and off remotely by a device connected to the REMOTE TRIGGER jack. In this mode, the LED's on the front panel will glow red when the amplifier is in standby mode, and bright blue when powered on.

D. Speaker Outputs (see page 4)

5-way binding posts used to connect the HTA Amp to your speakers.

E. AC Voltage Selector

Before connecting, insure that the voltage selector is set for the correct voltage for your region.

F. Power Switch

Switches the device on and sets it in the standby mode. if the switch is set to the “off” position. the device is disconnected from the mains supply.

G. AC Input

Use the supplied power cord to plug the HTA amp.in(see precautions on page 2).

Use Class 2 wiring for speaker connections.

Wiring the speaker connector with bare wire:

1. Strip the insulation of each speaker wire to expose 3/8" (10 mm) of bare conductor.
2. Unscrew the output terminal binding post several twists, insert each wire into the correct terminal.
3. Tighten binding post by twisting clock-wise until it is firmly clamping the speaker wire.

4. For spades or banana plugs, simply insert in correct terminals.

5. Ensure + terminal goes to + terminal of speakers and – goes to – do this by checking the marking on the speaker wire. Usually, RED wire is +

Warning: While the amplifier does self-protect under most improper output conditions, misconfiguration of loudspeaker mode and incorrect connection of loudspeakers could damage connected loudspeakers and/or amplifier.

Please refer installation to a qualified installation professional, and always check state and local electrical codes when installing.

Power Options:

There are 2 options for controlling the power ON/OFF

1. Select ON if you want to turn the amp on front the front panel power switch
2. The HTA amps can also be powered on automatically by other devices equipped with a 12v trigger output: Select TRIGGER position. When the switch is set to TRIGGER, the HTA amp will turn on when a 12v signal is present and go into standby when there is no signal present.

Note: If you set the ON/SIGNAL/TRIGGER switch to Trigger, but don't connect the HTA amp to another device, the status LED's will be bright blue, but the amplifier will not respond if you press the power button.

Before you begin:

Please check the voltage selector above the power socket and confirm it is correct for your country's voltage. Voltage available for end-users to choose from.

Ensure the amp has air clearance with nothing covering the ventilation slots. 6 inches of clearance is recommended, or, if rack mounted, please use a cooling fan.

Double-check all connections from connected processors or AVR's, and connections to speakers. Make sure all connections are good and that there are no stray wires, or strands of wire.

Tip - If speaker wires are running through walls or ceiling, you can check that the speaker wires are connected correctly by taking a 9V battery and momentarily touching the speaker wire to the + and - terminals. If the speakers are connected there will be a small 'popping' sound. Turn the volume level of the connected Processor or AVR down to zero for all channels.
