Page 6 - FRONT PANEL CONTROLS

6 1. Rack Mounting Ears Two front panel mounting holes are provided on each mounting ear. 2. Fan Vent CV-5000 amplifier is cooled by two rear-mounted fans. Cool air flows through the front fan filters, reducing the temperature of the inside components while forcing the heat out the rear vents. Never...

8 1. Fan This is a variable speed cooling fan. Cool air enters the amplifier through the fan ports located on the front of the amplifier chassis, be sure not to block these ports when installing the amplifier or other associated equipment. 2. Input connectors Connect the input source to these electr...

10 The CV-5000 incorporates protection features. The front panel Protection LED indicates the activity of the relay speaker connection circuitry in each channel. When the Protection LED turn on, this circuitry is active and all connected speakers are muted. Initial Power Up - For approximately five ...

Page 11 - SETUP

11 Clip Limiter Clipping is the result of an amplifier running into a power supply limitation. The maximum output voltage that any amplifier can produce is limited by its power supply. Attempting to output a voltage (or current) level that exceeds the power supply results in a “flattenin” effect on ...
