Introduction

Quad 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 minumum

maintenance while guaranteeing high reliability.

The quad channel series of the EPA series are containing four individually controllable channels with the

possibility for two by two briding of the outputs, merging their power to a single load. An integrated active

crossover network allows the possibility for applying high-pass and low-pass filters to the channels, creating

a sub / top configuration for a stereo system with bass cabinet.

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 while the loudspeakers shall

be connected to the terminal block output connections.

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.
