INITIAL SETUP

1. After opening and unpacking the PHA, inspect the unit
for any noticeable damage. Though we attempt to
take every precaution possible in preventing damage
occurring to our products in transit, it is sometimes
unavoidable. If the product is noticeably damaged,
users are advised to contact the dealer at which they
purchased the product.
2. If you wish to mount the PHA into a 19" rack, ensure it
is not positioned above power amplifiers and that the
unit has plenty of ventilation, as to avoid overheating.
3. Plug any required devices into the PHA's inputs and
outputs. For example, a mixer's Phones or Control
Room signal could be sent to the Main Inputs, and
headphones plugged into the phones outputs on the
rear or on the front of the unit.
4. Set the Main 1 / Main 2 Button to the correct position
(In/Out) to enable the required signal to be sent
through to your required outputs.
5. Plug the provided power cord into the power connector
and into an appropriate AC power source. Be sure
to check local voltage levels before connecting the
unit. Do not under any circumstances defeat the
ground-pin of the cord, as it is provided for your own
protection. When plugged in, push the power button.

1. Master Level Control
These controls adjust the level of their corresponding
main inputs on the rear of the device.
2. Input Level Meter and ON LED
This 4-segment input meter gives users a visual
representation of the signals received by the PHA's
inputs. When the power is on, the ON LED will illuminate.
To make the most of your audio, set the level so this
meter sits just below the clip LED.
