4. Fametrahana sy fametrahana
4.1 Famoahana
Carefully remove the AA120 from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage that may have occurred during transit. Retain the packaging for future transport or storage.
4.2 Fametrahana
Apetraho ny amplifier in a location that allows for adequate ventilation. Avoid placing it near heat sources or in direct sunlight. Ensure the unit is on a stable, level surface. Do not obstruct the ventilation openings.
4.3 Fampifandraisana herinaratra
Ampifandraiso amin'ny tariby herinaratra AC ny tariby herinaratra nomena amplifier's power inlet and then to a grounded 120V AC, 60Hz power outlet. The unswitched outlet on the rear panel can provide power to other equipment, up to a maximum of 500W. If this outlet's breaker trips, press the 'Push Reset' button to restore power.
4.4 Fifandraisana amin'ny mpandahateny
The AA120 supports various speaker configurations. Connect your speakers to the 'Speaker Output 240W' terminal block. Ensure proper polarity and impedance matching.
- 8 ohm: For direct connection to low-impedance speakers.
- 25V, 70V, 100V: Ho an'ny tsy tapaka voltage distributed speaker systems. Connect the common (Com) terminal to the negative speaker wire and the appropriate voltage terminal (25V, 70V, or 100V) to the positive speaker wire.
Fanamarihana: Miantoka hatrany ny amplifier is powered off before making or changing speaker connections. Use Class 2 wiring for speaker connections.
4.5 Fifandraisana fidirana
The AA120 offers six input channels:
- Inputs 1-5 (Balanced Terminal Blocks): These inputs accept either microphone or line-level signals. Connect balanced audio cables to the G (ground), - (negative), and + (positive) terminals.
- Input 6 (Stereo RCA): This input is designed for stereo line-level sources such as CD players or media players. The stereo signal is summed to mono internally.
4.6 Dip Switch Configuration
The DIP switches on the rear panel allow for fine-tuning of input characteristics and other functions. Refer to the table below for their functions:
| Switch No. | asa | OFF Setting | ON Setting |
|---|---|---|---|
| Input 6 Sens (1) | Input 6 Sensitivity | 100mV Line | 300mV Mic |
| Input 5 Sens (2) | Input 5 Sensitivity | -dalana, | Mik |
| Input 4 Sens (3) | Input 4 Sensitivity | -dalana, | Mik |
| Input 3 Sens (4) | Input 3 Sensitivity | -dalana, | Mik |

5. Torolàlana miasa
5.1 Mamelona/Mamono
To power on the amplifier, ensure all connections are secure, then press the power switch located on the front panel (not visible in rear panel image, but standard). To power off, press the switch again.
5.2 Fanitsiana ny haavon'ny fidirana
Use the 'Input Trim' rotary controls on the rear panel for Inputs 1-5 to adjust the sensitivity of each input channel. This allows you to match the input level of your source device to the amplifier. For Input 6, adjust the source device's output level or use the VCA control if assigned.
5.3 Master Volume Control
The master volume control (typically on the front panel, not shown in rear image) adjusts the overall output level of the amplifier. Start with the master volume at a low setting and gradually increase it to the desired listening level.
5.4 Mute Functions
The AA120 supports remote or VOX (Voice Operated Switch) mute capabilities. The 'Remote Mute' terminals allow for an external switch to mute the audio. The 'Mute Rev' DIP switches (1-7) allow you to reverse the mute logic for individual inputs, useful for paging systems where other audio is muted when a microphone is active.
5.5 Zone 2 Operation
The 'Zone 2 Out' provides a separate audio output. The 'Zone 2 Level' control adjusts the output level for this zone. This can be used for a separate listening area or to feed another ampLifer.
5.6 Sivana ambany fanapahana
The low-cut filter (6 dB per octave at 400 Hz) can be engaged via the DIP switch. This filter is particularly useful when using paging horns, as it helps to reduce low-frequency content that can cause distortion or reduce intelligibility in such speakers.
6. Fikojakojana
6.1 Fanadiovana
Manadio ny amplifier, disconnect it from the power source. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol sprays, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
6.2 Ny rivotra
Periodically check that the ventilation openings are clear of dust and debris. Proper airflow is crucial for preventing overheating and ensuring the longevity of the ampLifer.
