The TASCAM PA-30 is a high-performanceprofessional audio power amplifier for nearfield studiomonitoring and low-level sound reinforcement. Instereo mode, the PA-30 delivers 30 watts per channelcontinuously into an 8 ohm load - with no more than0.05% total harmonic distortion. For applicationsrequiri...

Page 4 - AC Power Connection; Voltage Conversion; Summary of Operating Precautions
• Do not use the PA-30 if the power cord appears frayed or broken. • Do not spill liquids into or on the PA-30 chassis. If the chassis becomes wet, allow it to dry thoroughlybefore reconnecting the unit. • Allow sufficient space at the top, and bottom of the PA-30 to permit a flow of cooling air. Ke...

1. POWER Switch and Indicator A two-position rocker-type switch controls power tothe unit. Depressing the upper surface of the switchturns the amplifier on; depressing the lower surfaceturns it off. The green LED Power indicator will lightwhenever the unit is on and is connected to a properlyfunctio...
Page 7 - Input Connections; Connection and Installation
Input Connections Before making connections to the PA-30 signal inputs,find the nominal output level of your signal source (thisinformation is usually given in the Specificationssection of the instruction manual). Equipmentoperating at –10 dBV should be connected to the RCA(phono) inputs, while +4 d...
Page 8 - Output Connections
Output Connections Each channel of the PA-30 will drive a minimum loadimpedance of 8 ohms. Connecting a load of lowerimpedance will result in current limiting and maytrigger the Protection circuits to shut down theamplifier.Figure 7 shows a normal stereo-mode connection oftwo individual speakers to ...
Page 9 - Theory of Operation; Connections; BTL operation
The PA-30 rear panel includes a switch that selectseither normal stereo mode or a special mode termedBTL (Balanced Transformerless). The setting of thisswitch determines the maximum power available to theload from the PA-30, and also decisively affects howthe load is connected to the amplifier. This...
