NICKEL PLATED TERMINALS
All the terminals on the amplifier are solid brass and satin nickel plated
for high conductivity and minimum impedance loss. The power and
ground terminals are extra large and capable of accepting 4 gauge wire.
The speaker terminals can accept 8 gauge wire. When wiring the amplifier,
be sure to strip just enough wire that fits into the terminal so that bare
wires do not touch each other, or the amplifier chassis and cause a short
circuit.
POWER AND PROTECTION CIRCUITRY
Amadeus full range amplifiers feature our unique IC controlled
protection circuitry. This sophisticated circuit constantly monitors the
heatsink internal temperature and various voltages, adjusting the amp
automatically and protecting it from dangerous conditions. The 2 LEDs
located on the input side of the amplifier provide indication of the
amplifier status, and the Power LED will light Blue when the amplifier is
receiving proper power, ground and remote voltages and the IC
monitoring sequence indicates the amp is functional. In case the
amplifier encounters a diagnostic condition as listed below, the second
LED will turn RED indicating a Diagnostic condition. When a diagnostic
condition is not corrected the amplifier will eventually shut off. There are
certain critical diagnostic conditions which will turn the amplifier of
immediately.
1. Speaker short circuit.
2. Input Overload.
3.Thermal Overload.
4. Reverse Polarity.
To reset the amplifier you must first diagnose what caused the problem,
correct the fault and restart the system. See the Trouble Shooting page
for further details.
MUTE CIRCUIT
The Amadeus amplifiers feature an anti-thump, mute and delay circuit.
This eliminates irritating and speaker damaging turn-on and turn-off
transients normally experienced with less expensive amplifiers.
