GT SERIES USER MANUAL

— Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

— Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected.

— Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

4. Recommended Usage:

. To ensure your speaker and amplifier system functions optimally, it is advised to read

through everything covered in this manual.

Safety precautions and appropriate usage recommendations for specific connections and

features are noted in the previous section.

4.1 Matching Speakers to the amplifier:

When matching loudspeakers appropriately to the available amplification refer to the

recommendations provided by the cabinet/speaker manufacturer. If unsure, please consult a

qualified technician.

Typically we will note however, that loudspeaker manufacturers will recommend that the the

amplifiers output power matches the specified power of the loudspeaker fairly closely. This

ensures that the speaker does not receive more power than it is able to handle without potential

failure / damage or unintended, distortion of sound occurring.

Also ensuring the amplifier is not too small to drive the loudspeaker to its full output level is

important in preventing accidental damage through hard clipping resulting from attempting to

drive the amplifier outside of its full output capability – this can easily prove fatal for even the

largest of loudspeakers and may damage the amplifier too. It remains however the users

responsibility to be sure that correct levels are maintained.

When connecting multiple loudspeakers to the same audio channel please note that

depending on wiring configuration (series, parallel, series-parallel, etc) changes the impedance

of the the load the amplifier 'sees'. The amplifier should have no less than 4 ohms nominal

connected to each channel. Typical configurations which dont exceed this would be: Two 8 ohm

speakers connected in parallel or 8x 8ohm speaker pairs connected in series-parallel

configuration. If unsure about appropriate setup configurations, please consult a suitably

qualified engineer.

4.2 Important Notice regarding connection to multiple input and

switchable input cabinets.

Care must be taken when connecting the amp to any cabinet that has more than one jack plug

or socket or features switchable stereo/mono operating modes.

Certain cabinets are known to have more than one socket but are not stereo capable

cabs.

Orange 2x12 and 4x12 cabs for instance have two unlabeled parallel inputs. Connecting the

amplifier to both inputs effectively shorts the amplifiers outputs and will cause damage to the

amplifier. This will not be covered under warranty. Similarly, cabinets which feature

stereo/mono switchable inputs must always be switched to stereo operation when both channels

of the amplifier are connected to it. Switching to mono mode will turn the input into a parallel

output and again effectively link and short the amps channel outputs together. If you are unsure

of your cabinets’ specifications, please refer to the manufacturer’s instructions or consult a

qualified technician for guidance.
