Congratulations!

And thank you for choosing this EMPHASER car audio amplifier!

To maximize the performance of this amplifier and your car audio system install, we recommend that

you acquaint yourself thoroughly with all capabilities and features of this EMPHASER amplifier unit.

Please read this manual carefully, before attempting the installation of this amplifier. Please retain this

manual and your purchasing / installation receipts for future reference.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

In case you are installing your EMPHASER amplifier yourself, you should have

your installation checked and approved by an authorized professional

EMPHASER dealer/installer, in order to qualify for full warranty protection and

also, to reach maximum power- and audio performance possible with your

individual car audio system.

1. DESIGN FEATURES

■CAR AUDIO AMPLIFIER: This EMPHASER amplifier allows the crossover controlled amplifica-

tion of satellite speaker systems, kickwoofer or subwoofer systems

■DASH-MOUNT REMOTE LOWPASS LEVEL CONTROL: A compact „Lowpass-Level“ remote

control unit can be mounted close to the drivers seat. This control device allows the convenient level

adjustment of the bass volume (not applicable for EA470)

■FULL-MOSFET CIRCUITRY: This EMPHASER amplifier line features a full MOS-FET circuitry lay-

out, implementing MOS-FET’s for power supply and output stages, to guarantee excellent sonic per-

formance and very high power output

■2 / 1 / 0.5 OHM LOAD STABILITY: This EMPHASER amplifier line up features models that

work stable and reliable into very low impedance loads. Due to the high damping factor, every model

of this amplifier line will guarantee full control over the connected speaker system(s)

■INTEGRATED ELECTRONIC CROSSOVER: The internal crossover section features independ-

ently selectable highpass or bandpass filtering, as well as fulllrange loop through. All x-overs feature

crossover slope rates of 18 dB/octave

■UNCOMPROMISING DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION: Only best electrical and electronic

components have been used for the assembly of this amplifier line. Such as double-sided glass-fiber

epoxy circuit boards equipped with high current TR output devices. The power input side features mol-

ded direct power input terminals for full unrestricted current flow

■ADVANCED PROTECTION CIRCUITRY: The protection circuitry safe-guards the amplifier from

short-circuits at the speaker outputs, DC offset voltage at the outputs and overheating of power elec-

tronics

■STATUS AND PROTECTION LED’S: A green and a red LED located at the side panel enable

you to monitor the operating status of your EMPHASER amp

■ADJUSTABLE INPUT SENSITIVITY: Each RCA line-input pair accepts input voltages from

300mV to 7V, providing a good match to the line-output levels of almost any head-unit on the market
