4.1 Ukwenyusa Amandla Okuqala

  1. Ngemuva kokuthi konke ukuxhuma sekwenziwe, xhuma kabusha ibhethri lemoto.
  2. Vula iyunithi yakho yekhanda. amplifier should power on, indicated by the LED status bar.

4.2 Adjusting Controls

Use the integrated adjustment tool to set the following parameters:

  • Ukuthola Ukulawula: Adjust the gain for each channel (CH1/2, CH3/4) to match the output level of your head unit. Start with the gain at minimum and slowly increase until desired volume is achieved without distortion. The LED status bar can assist in this process.
  • Filter Settings (HPF/LPF):
    • I-HPF (Isihlungi Se-High-Pass): Allows frequencies above the set point to pass. Useful for protecting smaller speakers from low bass frequencies.
    • I-LPF (Isihlungi Esidlula Kancane): Allows frequencies below the set point to pass. Typically used for subwoofers.
    The MA 4 features 12 dB/octave filters. Adjust the crossover frequencies according to your speaker setup and desired sound.
  • Okokufaka Voltage Control: Adjust this setting based on whether you are using high-level or low-level inputs to ensure proper signal matching.
  • Input Resistance (Input Load): For high-level inputs, adjust the input resistance to optimize signal transfer from the head unit.
