Introduction

Dual channel Class-D amplifiers

The EPA series are energy efficient Class-D power amplifiers designed for a wide variation of

applications, ranging from standard stereo configurations to multi-zone distributed speaker

systems. They come available in various models with different output configuration and

power ratings.

An outstanding sound quality is combined with other known advantages of Class-D amplifiers

such as high energy efficiency. Automatic signal detection switches the amplifier to standby

mode when no input signal is detected. This makes the amplifier comply to international

energy and environmental requirement standards.

The compact size and lightweight design only requires a single 19” rackspace, while making

them suitable for both fixed rack and mobile applications. The convection cooled construction

requires only a minimum maintenance while guaranteeing high reliability.

The dual channel models of the EPA series are containing two individually controllable

channels with the possibility for bridging the outputs, merging their power to a single load.

They are featuring advanced protection circuitry which protects against DC malfunctioning,

short circuit, overheating and overload.

The signal input connections are implemented using balanced XLR connectors with link output

connectors, allowing linkthrough to other amplifiers. Loudspeaker outputs are connected

using both Speakon compatible and terminal block output connectors.

Front panel description

Volume control knobs:

These volume control knobs allow level adjustment for each individual channel.

Indicator LED’s:

These LED’s indicate the operation of the corresponding amplifier channel. A signal indicator,

clip indicator and protect indicator are available for each channel.

The signal indicator illuminates in green colour when the signal level exceeds the -20 dB level.

The clip indicator illuminates in yellow colour when the channel is working at maximum level.

To ensure the best signal-to-noise ratio, illumination of this indicator should only occur

at peak levels. When it illuminates frequently, the channel output will be overdriven and a

distorted ‘clipping’ sound occurs on the output.

The protect indicator illuminates in red colour when any overload, thermal overheating or

other fault is detected. It also illuminates for several seconds when powering on the amplifier

and slowly fades out when switching off the amplifier. When the protect LED is illuminated,

no signal will be available on the output.

Power switch with LED:

A power switch allows to turn the amplifier on and off. The indicator LED next to the power

switch indicates the current status of the amplifier. When operational, it illuminates in blue

colour. When switched to standby (energy-saving) mode, the power LED will illuminate in

orange colour. The amplifier switches automatically to standby mode when no input signal

is available for about 30 seconds and instantly switches back to operation when any signal

is detected.
