WARNING CAUTION! Keep this system away from rain and moisture! FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, PLEASE READ THIS USER MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE YOUR INITIAL START-UP! SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Every person involved with the installation, operation and maintenance of this system have to: be qualified follow the instructions of this manual CAUTION! Be careful with your operations.
Make sure that the power-cord is never crimped or damaged. Check the system and the powercord from time to time. Make sure that the amplifier is turned down, before turning the power on or off. So you can avoid supersonic frequencies, which could damage your speakers. Don't put your equipment next to TV, radio, etc., because of interference or distortion. If you connect other parts of the system, be careful of ground loops.
Description of the device Features The TAS-1100, TAS-1500, TAS-1900, TAS-2400, TAS4000 are professional high-end amplifiers : • Power rating TAS-1100 2Ω Not allowed 4Ω RMS 2 X 550W 8Ω RMS 2 X 300W TAS-1500 RMS 2 X 1200W RMS 2 X 750W RMS 2 X 450W TAS-1900 RMS 2 X 1500W RMS 2 X 950W RMS 2 X 580W TAS-2400 RMS 2 X 1800W RMS 2 X 1200W RMS 2 X 700W TAS-4000 Not allowed RMS 2 X 2000W RMS 2 X 1200W • Features: Clip limiting Thermal protection VHF protection Short circuit protection DC voltage p
Frontpanel Fig. 2 1. Channel 1 Input Attenuator. Use to attenuate the input signal of channel 1. Pressing the control for 2 seconds mutes Channel 1. 2. Channel 1 volume scale indicator. This indicator displays the volume attenuation of Channel 1. 3. Channel 1 clip LED. Illuminates at the clipping threshold, Continuous illumination also indicates that ACL (Active Clip Limiting) protection circuitry is engaged. 4. Channel 1/2 Limit LEDs.
Backpanel Fig. 3 19. Power Fuse. Replace the fuse only by a fuse of the same type. 20. Mode Selection Switch. This recessed, three-position switch configures the amplifier for Stereo, Parallel or Bridged Mono Mode operation. Amplifiers are factory configured for Stereo Mode. See the section on Mode Selection for more information. 21. Bridge Mode LED. Indicates that the amplifier is working in bridge mode. 22. Input Sensitivity Selector.
Operation Installation Remove all packing materials from the DSA. Check that all foam and plastic padding is removed. Secure the equipment into a 19" rack. Connect all cables. Connecting Power / Circuit Size Requirements. The actual current draw, the amplifier demands from the AC mains, depends on many factors (its load, output level or the crest factor of its program material).
Mode Selection The three-position, recessed Mode Select switch (located on the rear panel) configures the amplifier for either Stereo. Parallel or Bridged Mono Mode. Amplifiers are factory-configured for Stereo Mode. Stereo Mode In Stereo Mode, both channels operate independently, with their input attenuators controlling their respective levels. Signal at Channel A's input produces output at Channel A's output while signal at Channel B's input produces output at Channel B's output. Fig.
Bridged Mono Mode Bridged Mono Mode straps both amplifier channels together to make a very powerful, single-channel monaural amplifier. One channel "pushes" and the other "pulls" equally, doubling the power over that of channel alone. Signal is applied to the Channel A input only. Both attenuators are used to control signal level; in addition, both must be adjusted to the same setting. Only channel A input may be used. Use extreme caution when operating the amplifier In Bridged Mono Mode.
Connection Cables Take care of the connector cables, always holding them by the connectors and avoiding knots and twists when coiling them: This gives the advantage of increasing their life and reliability, which is always to your advantage. Periodically check that your cables are in good condition, that they are correctly wired and that all their contacts are in good condition: a great number of problems (faulty contacts, ground hum, discharges, etc.
Maintenance The DAP Audio TAS requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean. Disconnect the mains power supply, and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Do not use alcohol or solvents. Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the DMX and audio connections with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying electric power.
