PMA600HCE / PMA640HCE / PMA1000HCE
ALPHASONIK WAS FOUNDED IN 1976 WITH ONE MISSION,
TO BRING STATE OF THE ART PERFORMANCE TO THE CAR
AUDIO ENTHUSIAST.
In those early years we pioneered such ground-breaking technolo-
gies as amplier fan cooling and high voltage signal transfer which
remain a benchmark in high-end audio.
Today, the new Alphasonik is committed to pushing the envelope
with regard to technology, quality and value. Our electronics fea-
ture audiophile parts and circuit topology designed to let the full
musical experience come through, loud and clear. Our loudspeak-
ers employ the latest high technology materials and processes
such as carbon reinforced woven glass and titanium vapor deposi-
tion to deliver your music with tremendous impact, dynamics and
resolution.
We stand behind our quality with one of the best warranties in
consumer electronics. Compare Alphasonik car audio products
against anything competition has to offer. We’re condent you will
come to one conclusion...

1. Speaker Terminals: These nickel plated connectors can accept from 10 to 8
gauge wire. Be careful to observe proper polarity when connecting the cables.
2. To avoid unwanted ignition noise caused by ground loops, it is essential that
the amplier be grounded to a clean, bare, metal surface of the vehicle’s chas-
sis. The nickel plated connector can accept from 4 to 2 gauge wire
Note: THE GROUND WIRE SHOULD NOT BE EXTENDED MORE THAN 3’ 6”
(1 METER).
3. REMOTE TURN-ON INPUT: Attach to remote or power antenna output of a
car stereo. This amplier is turned “ON” remotely when the vehicle’s stereo is
turned “ON”. The nickel plated connector can accept from 18 to 16 guage wire.
Note: IF YOUR RADIO DOES NOT HAVE A +12 VOLT OUTPUT LEAD WHEN
THE RADIO IS TURNED ON, THE “REMOTE” TERMINAL ON THE AMPLIFIER
CAN BE CONNECTED TO THE VEHICLE’S ACCESSORY CIRCUIT THAT IS
LIVE WHEN THE KEY IS “ON”.
4. Battery Positive Terminal: Due to the power requirements of the amplier, this
connection should be made directly to the positive (+) terminal of the battery.
For safety measures install an in-line fuse holder (not included) as close to the
battery positive (+) terminal as possible with an ampere rating not to exceed the
value of the fuses in Amplier.
5. Input Sensitivity Adjustment: This control adjusts the amplier’s input sensitiv-
ity. Input sensitivity is variable from 200 Mil volts to 8 volts. Clockwise increases
sensitivity. Counterclockwise decreases sensitivity. This knob is not a volume
control for the amplier. The amplier can be driven to full power with a wide
range of signal levels. A lower signal level will require increased sensitivity for full
power. A higher signal level will require decreased in sensitivity.
6. Bass Boost Frequency Adjustment: This control adjust the frequency to be
boosted from 40Hz to 100Hz. (PMA800HCA).
7. Bass Boost Gain Adjustment: This control adjust the Bass Boost Gain for the
amplier’s speaker output (0 to +18dB).
8. Crossover: Adjust the crossover for your chosen installation method.
-LOW: Low pass lter-only bass tones (50Hz – 250Hz) go to speakers. Use with
or sub-woofer
- FULL: No lter-all tones go to speakers. Use with full-range speakers, or with
external crossovers.
-HIGH: High pass lter-blocks very low tones (50Hz – 250Hz) from the speakers.

This LCD indicates the range from 10 volts
to 15 volts.
The LCD shows "LO" for 10 voltsbelow and
"HI" for 15.5 volts over.
HOUR METER - The hour meter is designed to provide the user with actual toal
running time for the unit. Each number represents one hour of operation. (Fig 2)
9. Variable Low-Pass lter (50Hz – 250Hz): For use as a dedicated subwoofer
channel, set lter switch to “LPF”. Adjust variable crossover frequency with
control as desired. The amplier input circuit lters out everything above 50Hz…
..250Hz (dependent on the adjustment of the frequency control), so only the
deepest bass notes are amplied.
10. Variable High-Pass Filter (50Hz – 250Hz): For use as a dedicated mid high
range channel, set lter switch to “HPF”. The input out all frequencies below
50Hz…..250Hz.
11. Variable Subsonic Filter (20Hz ~ 60Hz)
12. Phase Shift Switch (0 And 180 Degrees): allows you to change the phase of
your subwoofer from 0 to 180 degrees to help compensate for timing difference
between drivers
13. Low level Input RCA Jacks: These inputs are for signal cables from the
source unit, always use high shielded RCA cables.
14. Line Out: The Line Out allows you to build multiple amplier systems without
having to use splitter cords to distribute the signal. Now it is a matter of bringing
one set of RCA’S into the rst amplier, then using the LINE OUT RCA jacks as
the feed to the next amplier.
15. Remote Digital Voltmeter- Fig. 1
16. (Optional) Bass Boost Knob: The remote bass boost knob works in con-
junction with the ampliers bass knob.
