Bazooka ELA150.1 Car Amplifier User Manual


 
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
DC Offset Protection
This circuit protects the output of the amplifier against DC voltage. If for some
reason DC voltage is detected at the output stage, the amplifier will shut down
protecting the speakers from direct current.
Short Circuit Protection
The circuit protects the amplifier from damage due to a short found in the speakers
or wiring. If one of the speakers or its wiring comes in contact with ground, the
amplifier will shut down. To resume normal operation, correct the problem and
turn the head unit off, then back on. The amplifier will reset and play again.
Thermal Protection
To protect the amplifier circuitry against damage caused by prolonged exposure to
high temperatures, a thermal protection circuit is activated if the amplifier reaches
excessively high operating temperature. Once the thermal circuit is activated, the
amplifier will shut down to cool off. The amplifier will automatically turn back on
once it cools down to a safe operating temperature.
Power Indicator
The diagnostic L.E.D. Illuminates green when the amplifier is on and receiving
power.
Tri Mode Capable
If so desired, the amplifier may be run in stereo and mono at the same time. For
example, this feature would allow you to run a pair of mid and tweeters in stereo
and a sub-woofer mono.
Built-in Crossover
The “EL”amplifiers include a built-in variable **high and low pass crossovers. The
crossover features a variable frequency selection (60Hz ~ 400Hz) for precise high or
low pass filtering. **Except ELA300.1 & ELA / MAA500.1 which have a 40 ~ 120Hz
low pass filter.
Auxiliary Output
The “EL”amplifiers include a auxiliary output for a daisy chain connection of an EL
Bazookad Amplified Bass Tube.
Power and Speaker Distribution Blocks
Heavy gauge bare wire distribution blocks are provided for maximum power and
signal transfer with minimal resistance.
