Does the amplifier turn on without speaker cables connected?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes, the PDW500MP3 amplifier turns on without any issues even if no speaker cables are connected. There is no speaker detection system that would prevent it from starting.

To turn the device on, simply press the STANDBY button located on the front panel. The amplifier will operate independently of whether speakers are present or not.

Important: Although the device starts without a speaker, do not let the amplifier run without a load for an extended period. For a short test, this is acceptable, but continuous use without a speaker or equivalent load can stress the output circuits. This amplifier has protections (regulatory 10-16 A fuse), but they do not replace an appropriate load.

When connecting speakers, ensure that the total power of the speakers does not exceed 90% of the amplifier's output power, as specified in the manual.
