5. Einrichtung und Anschlüsse
5.1 Rack-Installation
The PSSO QCA-10000 MK2 is designed for standard 19-inch rack mounting and occupies 2U of rack space. Ensure adequate ventilation space around the unit, especially at the front and rear for airflow.
5.2 Ein- und Ausgangsanschlüsse
Bevor Sie irgendwelche Verbindungen herstellen, stellen Sie sicher, dass ampDer Verstärker ist ausgeschaltet und vom Netzteil getrennt.
- Audioeingänge: Schließen Sie Ihre Audioquelle an (z. B. Mischpult, Vorverstärker).amplifier) to the XLR INPUTs (CH1-CH4) on the rear panel using balanced XLR cables.
- Audio Link: Use the XLR LINK outputs to daisy-chain the audio signal to other amplifiers or devices if needed.
- Lautsprecherausgänge: Connect your loudspeakers to the SPEAKON outputs (SPEAKON 1-4) using appropriate speakON cables. Ensure correct polarity and impedance matching.
- Stromanschluss: Connect the supplied power cord to the AC Power Input on the rear panel and then to a suitable mains power outlet.
5.3 Operating Mode and Sensitivity Configuration
The DIP switches on the rear panel allow you to configure the amplifier's operating mode and input sensitivity. Refer to the diagram on the amplifier's rear panel for specific switch settings.
| Schaltereinstellung | Funktion |
|---|---|
| DIP 1 & 2 (Mode) | Configures Stereo, Parallel, or Bridge mode. Consult the rear panel diagram for specific combinations. |
| DIP 3 & 4 (Sensitivity) | Adjusts input sensitivity (e.g., 0.775V, 1.0V, 1.4V). Consult the rear panel diagram for specific combinations. |
Note: Always power off the amplifier before changing DIP switch settings to prevent damage.
6. Bedienung
6.1 Ein-/Ausschalten
- Stellen Sie sicher, dass alle Verbindungen sicher und korrekt sind.
- Turn down all channel level controls to their minimum setting.
- Schalten Sie den amplifier using the front panel power switch. The amplifier will undergo a brief power-on delay.
- To power off, first turn down all channel level controls, then switch off the ampschwerer.
6.2 Niveaus anpassen
Gradually increase the channel level controls (CH-1 to CH-4) to achieve the desired output volume. Monitor the LED VU meters to ensure the signal is not clipping (CLIP LED should not illuminate frequently or stay lit). If the CLIP LED illuminates, reduce the input signal level from your source or the amplifier's channel level.
6.3 LED-Anzeigen verstehen
- SIGNAL-LED: Indicates the presence of an audio signal. It should light up when audio is playing.
- CLIP-LED: Warns of signal clipping. Occasional flashes are acceptable, but constant illumination indicates severe distortion and potential damage to speakers. Reduce gain.
- SCHUTZ-LED: Zeigt an, dass die amplifier's protection circuitry has been activated. This can be due to overheating, short circuits, DC offset, or other faults. If this LED illuminates, turn off the amplifier immediately, check connections, and allow it to cool down if overheating is suspected.
