circuits, and speaker outputs will be cut in case of extreme overload, short circuits, DC offset,

prevent clipping, distortion and other musically destructive situations. We have done our best to

makesurethisamplierwillproducecleanpower,butit is also the user who is responsible

for the nal result: the APC circuitry can not clean up a clipped input signal, in other

words: what goes in, comes out. Don’t forget to set the impedance selector correctly for

both channels and remember to divide the speaker’s impedance by a factor 2 if you are

planning to use the amplier in bridge mode ! Example in bridge mode: speaker load = 8

ohms, set channel 1 impedance selector to 8 : 2 = 4 ohms setting (4 – 8 ohms).
