Introduction The Atlona Gain™ 60 (AT-GAIN-60) is a compact power amplifier designed for low or high-impedance applications. A mode selector switch allows the Gain 60 to deliver two channels of 30 watts each into 4 or 8 ohms, or a single channel of 60 watts at 24, 70, or 100 volts. This Class-D amplifier is energy efficient and ENERGY STAR qualified, and is also convection-cooled without the need for fans.

Installation Audio Connectors The AT-GAIN-60 provides two audio ports: one input and one output. The AUDIO IN 1 port can be used to connect an audio digital signal processor (DSP) or other audio source device. Balanced or unbalanced wiring is supported. The AUDIO IN 2 port is used to connect an analog audio source using RCA-type cables. 1. Use wire strippers to remove a portion of the cable jacket. 2. Remove at least 3/16” (5 mm) from the insulation of each wire. 3.
Installation RS-232 The AT-GAIN-60 provides RS-232 control between an automation system and an RS-232 device. This step is optional. 1. Use wire strippers to remove a portion of the cable jacket. 2. Remove at least 3/16” (5 mm) from the insulation of the RX, TX, and GND wires. 3. Insert the TX, RX, and GND wires into correct terminal on the included captive screw block.
Installation Connection Instructions 1. Connect an analog audio source to the AUDIO IN ports. Once connected, press the INPUT button on the front panel, to switch between the RCA and the 5-pin captive screw port. • RCA cables (unbalanced) Connect shielded RCA-type cables from the audio source to the AUDIO IN 2 left/right RCA jacks. • Balanced/Unbalanced Connect the included 5-pin captive screw to the AUDIO IN 1 port. Use the desired wiring configuration, on the previous page. 2.
