The stereo loudspeakers outputs are also rear mounted screw
terminals.
DC is connected via a rear-mounted 2.1mm DC socket. The centre
pin is positive (+).
The DPA-40 has a front panel volume control to adjust the level as
well as a (DC) power On/Off switch with status led.
Installation
Warning Disconnect power and unplug the unit from the
power source before installing or removing.
The DPA-40 is designed to fit a standard UK back box with a
minimum depth of 35mm. It will fit most metal recessed, surface
metal & plastic as well as dry liner and dado mounting boxes. If
possible a 47mm deep box is to be preferred as this makes wiring
easier.
Cable entry into the box can be from any combination of the
knockouts but it is recommended that the audio input cables are kept
separate from both the DC and speaker cables if at all possible.
Close proximity will cause no damage but could induce noise.
Power The amplifier is DC powered and this should be fed
from either the supplied power supply or suitable
alternative. A mains power connection will be required for the power
supply achieved by plugging the supplied cable into an adjacent
socket. If the cable needs extending or connecting into a fused spur
then the services of a qualified electrician to carry out the connection
is recommended.
Please note that for UK installations in domestic premises connection
by a part ‘P’ registered electrician is mandatory.
The power supply is connected to the 12-18V DC socket on the rear
PCB.

For all screw terminal connections it is recommended to twist the
cables before inserting but do not tin as over time this leads to cold
forming and can loosen the connection.
The use of crimp ferrules is recommended.
Connecting –Stereo Mode
Loudspeakers Connect the left loudspeaker or loudspeakers
to the two terminals marked L+ and L-.
Connect the right loudspeaker or loudspeakers
to the two terminals marked R+ and R-.
The minimum load impedance in stereo is 8 Ohms per channel. The
amplifier is a bridge design, there is no loudspeaker common, so
each pair of loudspeaker cables MUST be connected back to the
amplifier terminals. Please observe polarity for correct ‘in phase’
operation.
Rear Input Three screw terminals are provided. Connect
the two screens to the Gnd terminal and the
Left and Right signal cables (centre cores) to
the L & R terminal respectively.
Two 3mm holes are provided to allow securing
of the input cable via cable ties.
Front Input Connection is via a 3.5mm stereo jack,
normally using pre-made cables. If you need to
make your own cable then:
Ring –Right signal, Tip –Left signal
Sleeve –Common / Screen / Ground
