• Rear panel switches include: selectable High Pass Filters, Gain and Operation Mode.
Protection
SRA-Series Amplifiers come standard with several protection circuits:
Output over-current protection - The output current is limited to safe levels
regardless of load.
DC output protection - The amplifier is switched off if more than 2 volts of
dc is present on the output. The amplifier will automatically restart after 5
seconds (if no fault remains). The protect LED is lit as well as the clip LED of
the affected channel(s).
Main supply rail overvoltage protection - The amplifier is switched off if
the main supply rails have too high of a voltage. The amplifier will
automatically restart after 5 seconds (if no fault remains). The protect LED is
lit as well as the clip LED of the affected channel(s).
Chassis internal temperature monitoring - The amplifier is switched off
when the internal ambient temp reaches 70º C. The amplifier will again switch
on when the internal ambient temp reaches 55º C. The protect LED is lit as
well as the clip LED of ALL channels.
Inrush limiting - The turn-on current is limited. This is active during initial
startup as well as when exiting standby mode.

Installation
SRA-Series amplifiers are designed for use in both fixed and mobile sound systems. Each
amplifier is shipped (unless otherwise specified) with the following factory settings:
Front panel: Rear panel:
On/Off Switch = Off
Attenuators =
High Pass Filter(s) = Off
Gain Selector = +26 dB
Mode Selector = Stereo
Before connecting to mains power, make sure that the switches are set to the configuration
needed for your particular application. Always switch the amplifier off before making any
changes to the settings. Failure to do so could result in damage to the unit or other components
in your system. CAUTION: When mounting or connecting the amplifier, always disconnect it
from the mains. Use four screws and washers when mounting the amplifier to the front rack
rails. Rear support is also recommended, especially for mobile or touring use. To reduce the
risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
Requirements
SRA-Series amplifiers have specific physical, electrical and signal requirements for proper
operation. These requirements will vary depending on your specific application, setup, and
the settings on the amplifier. When setting up and testing your system, please take special
care to double check all connections and settings. Please refer to the specifications section
of this manual for specific input, output and other figures.
Installation Density
SRA-Series amplifiers produce substantial power output from a very small chassis. When
driven at the higher-end of their potential, they do produce heat that must be dissipated. In
cases where multiple SRA amplifiers are mounted together (or a single SRA with other
equipment), it is recommended that a 1RU space is left between units to allow for proper
air circulation. If the amplifier overheats, it will go into ‘thermal’ protect mode to prevent
damage to itself and any connected components and speakers.

Typical Applications
The most common use of a SRA-Series amplifier is a 2-channel source driving 2 speaker
channels. In this illustration, the 4-channel amplifier is receiving two stereo signals and is
driving two pairs of stereo speakers The amplifier is in STEREO mode.
SRA-Series amplifiers are well suited to BRIDGED operation to drive a speaker load such
as a subwoofer or a more powerful stereo output on a 4-channel model. This illustration
shows a 4-channel SRA driving a Stereo signal in BRIDGED mode.
Connectors & Polarity
SRA-Series amplifiers utilize two types of professional audio connectors. For the inputs 3-
pin Euroblock connectors are utilized with their polarity clearly marked on the amplifier’s
rear panel. Outputs are via screw terminal connectors. The polarity for these connectors is
also clearly marked on the unit’s chassis. However, polarity changes when the unit is
operated in BRIDGED mode. Be sure to read the Operation section of this manual for
important information on the two operating modes.

Operation
The amplifier’s On/Off Switch is a rocker-type switch located on the left side of the front
panel. Turning on the amplifier initiates start-up by activating the inrush current limiter.
When using the remote On/Off function, the main On/Off switch must remain in the On
position. See page 11 for more information on remote On/Off connections.
NOTE: The power switch does NOT isolate the appliance from mains. Make sure the mains
power socket or an alternative disconnect device is near by and easily accessible. When the
product is connected to mains, the line-filter and the input of the fuse are energized.
2 Channel (Stereo) Mode
In this mode, the amplifier’s channels operate fully independent of each other. Each signal
enters the unit and is amplified separately.
Bridged (Mono) Mode
In this mode, a single input is connected to channel 1 (or 1 & 3 in 4 channel models) and is
connected to the two output channels that have been “Bridged” together.
Each output channel processes the signal, but the polarity of channel 2 (and channel 4, in 4
channel models) is reversed. The (single) load is connected between the two positive
channel outputs. While the total output of the amplifier remains the same, both the
available output voltage and the minimum impedance that can be connected are doubled,
as compared with stereo operation.
Only Channel 1 (or 1 & 3) is active. A signal feeding Channel 2 (or 4) will have no effect
on the output.

pots at least halfway up so that the source does not have
to be overdriven.
Distorted Sound
Clip LEDs not lit Keep the volume pots at least halfway up and try
changing input sensitivity with the gain selector on the
rear.
Hiss Hiss Unplug the amplifier input to confirm that the hiss is
coming from the source or from a device upstream. Erratic
or popping noises indicate an electronic fault in the
offending unit. To keep the noise floor low, operate the
primary signal source at full level, without clipping. Avoid
boosting the signal further between the source and the
amplifier.
Squeals and
Feedback
Squeals and Feedback Microphone feedback should be eliminated with mixer
controls. If noise continues to build up with no microphone
gain, there is a serious fault in the signal processors or
cables. Working in succession from the signal source
towards the amplifier and check each device in the signal
path by reducing its gain or by unplugging it.
