Make sure that no children are left unsupervised with the A500 or

itspackaging.

Please ensure proper disposal of all packing materials.
1.1.2 Initial operation Make sure there is enough space around the unit for cooling. To avoid overheating, please do not place your amplifier near radiators and other equipment emitting heat.
Before plugging the unit into a power socket, please make sure you
have selected the correct voltage! The fuse compartment near the power plug socket contains three triangular markings. Two of these triangles are opposite one another. The voltage indicated adjacent to these markings is the voltage to which your unit has been set up, andcan be altered by rotating the fuse compartment by 180. ATTENTION:Thisdoes not apply to export models that were manufactured only for use with 120 V, for example!
If you alter the units voltage, you must change the fuse accordingly.
The correct value of the fuse needed can be found in the chapterSPECIFICATIONS.
Faulty fuses must be replaced with fuses of appropriate rating
only! The correct value of the fuses needed can be found in the chapterSPECIFICATIONS.

[2] Each channel features a volume control. Use it to adjust gain on your A500. Both volume controls should be turned all the way to the left whenever you power the unit up or down. If an active signal is present on the input, turningthe volume down will protect your speakers and your ears from unwanted pops or transients.

3.1 Stereo mode
In this mode, both channels run independently with a separate input signal. Connect passive loudspeakers, preferably high-quality studio monitors, such as the BEHRINGER TRUTH B2031P. Set the STEREO/BRIDGED MONO switch [8] to STEREO to enable stereo mode.

one time! Here you will connect an output of your mixing console, your HiFi preamp or another signal source. Our rack mixing console EURORACK PRO RX1602, with its eight mono-usable balanced stereo channels, is an ideal choice for signal processing and sourceselection. The connections for both channels are laid out as RCA, XLR and " TRS stereo connectors. The cinch inputs are intended for use with outputs laid out as unbalanced signals with a -10 dBV line signal level. Because these inputs are more sensitive than others, you can directly connect a CD player or a DAT recorder. Of course this input can also be used for connecting mixing consoles and similar equipment. The XLR and " TRS stereo connectors are laid out balanced, but they too can of course be used to connect unbalanced signals. Their sensitivity is +4 dBu (also see ch. 4). Generally speaking, you should choose balanced over unbalanced signals in order to guarantee the highest noise protection. Due to safety considerations, the inputs can not be used in parallel. However,if you are using cinch and XLR or " TRS connectors simultaneously, the cinch input is given preference, andthe other signal ismuted.

If you wish to use the A500 in mono-bridged mode,

Before connecting the unit to the mains, please check if the voltage selector corresponds to your local voltage. When replacing fuses, you should only use fuses of the same type and rating. With some units, the fuse switch can be put into two different positions in order to select between 230 V and 120 V operation. Please bear in mind: Ifyou wish to use your equipment outside of Europe running on 120 V, youwill have to use a fuse with a higher Ampere value.

3.2 Mono-bridged mode
In this mode, the voltages of both channels are added up and routed to just one loudspeaker. This results in a doubling of voltage, quadrupling of the peak power value and roughly trippling of the continuous power output on a single channel. The input and the gain control on channel 1 are used in mono-bridged mode. Thechannel 2 control elements are not used. ATTENTION: To avoid cancellations due to internal phase inversion, the GAIN control on channel 2 must be turned all the way to the left! Use this operating mode to feed the output of both channels into a single 4-Ohm load. Set the STEREO/BRIDGED MONO switch [8] to BRIDGED MONO.

Please only connect the speaker using the BRIDGED MONO connector [9] or by using both of the middle binding posts [10].
Always power the A500 down using the POWER switch whenever you

4. Installation

4.1 Installation in a rack
Your A500 can be installed into a 19" rack and requires two rack spaces. Please use four attaching screws and washers for installation. Reinforce the back end, especially for on-the-road use. Please ensure that enough cool air reaches the rack, especially if other rack equipment generates a lot of heat. Due to its weight, we recommend installing the A500 in the lower portion of your rack. If you are installing several amps in a single rack, you should leave some space between individual amps (approx. 1 height unit) to allow for sufficient cooling.
The A500 has massive heat sinks on its side frame that guarantee

reliable operation. Never block air supply to these heat sinks because excessive heat may damage the components inside your amp. Eventhough the protective circuitry guards the inside components from damage caused by excessive internal temperatures, youshould still double-check where the amp is placed and inspect cable connections if you are experiencing thermal protection dropouts.

4.2 Connections

BB410 REFERENCE AMPLIFIER A500
Inputs If you wish to use XLR connections for unbalanced input signals, connect the unused pin on the XLR connector (pin 3) with the ground. No modification is needed if using mono jacks (also see ch. 4.3).
Should you register distractive signals such as noise or hissing,
Fig. 3.2: Mono-bridged operation
If your amp is overdriving for a longer period of time, it may become
muted for several seconds at a time. Always select appropriate volume values to avoid overdriving. Safety precautions for mono-bridged operation A voltage of up to 60 V RMS is present between the output connectors of the A500. Always adhere to all appropriate safety precautions when connecting your speakers to avoid the risk of electric shock. Running your amp in mono-bridged mode puts both the amp and your loudspeakers under additional strain. Excessive overdriving can result in premature shutting down of the unit itself or permanent damage to the speakers. Make sure that your speaker (impedance at least 8 Ohms) and the cables you use can indeed handle the power load fed into/ through them.
werecommend separating the amp input from the signal source. Thisway, you can quickly determine if the noise originates in the equipment connected to the amp. Always make sure to completely lower amplification of both channels before powering up the amp (GAIN control turned all the way to the left). Otherwise,permanentdamage to your speakers may occur. Outputs Your A500 offers several output connection possibilities: two " TS mono connectors and two pairs of touch-safe binding posts. Inaddition to both "TS mono connectors for individual channels, the A500 also features an extra "connector for use in mono-bridged mode.

Whenever possible, use thick and short speaker cables to minimize
power losses. Never route output cables near input cables. When using binding posts, make sure that the wire insulation is not stripped more than what is necessary, and that wires are completely inserted into the binding post so that no bare wire is visible. Cable clamps must be isolated to avoid the possibility of electric shock. When running the amp in mono-bridged mode, always use the middle two binding post connectors, paying attention to correct polarity.
ATTENTION! If you notice bare cable endings on the binding post
connectors, disconnect the AC mains and remedy the improper output connection before powering the amplifier on again. Connecting to the mains Always connect your power amplifier to the voltage specified on the rear of the unit. Connecting the amp to incorrect voltage can permanently damage it (alsosee ch. 2, under [11] FUSE SWITCH/VOLTAGE SELECTION). Before powering up the amplifier, double-check all connections and fully lower the gain settings.
