Operation AC Mains Circuit Size Requirements Power requirements for the IP-Twelve amplifier are rated at “idle”, 1/8th power (“typical” music conditions), 1/3rd power, and maximum rated power. The maximum power current draw rating is limited by the amplifier’s circuit breaker. Consult the specification sheet for the current that each amplifier will demand. AC mains voltage must be the same as that indicated on the back of the amplifier.
Operation Signal Mode Configuration The IP-Twelve amplifier is configured for Two-Channel (stereo), Bridged Mode, or Parallel Mode operation at the input connector. To send the same signal to both channels (Parallel Mode), connect the input signal to channel A via the input connector. Run jumpers from the positive and negative terminals of channel A’s input connector to the respective terminals of Channel B. Both channels then share channel A’s input signal, but will operate independently.
CONNECTIONS Speaker Output Connections Speakers are connected using the output barrier strip connectors. Spade lugs, ring tongues or bare wire may be connected to the output barrier strip elements. The barrier strip can accommodate up to a 10 gage wire per terminal. Make sure the amplifier is turned off before you change any output connections or jumpers. Consult the Wire Gauge Chart to find a suitable wire gauge to minimize losses of power in the speaker cables.
