AMPLIFIER FEATURE DESCRIPTIONS
SUPER SPORT AT-SERIES AMPLIFIERS:
! Each model is capable of 4 & 2-Ohms stereo per channel, or 4-Ohms mono bridged ! All Autotek amplifiers feature a comprehensive diagnostic system, with speaker lead
short circuit, and amplifier DC faults indicated by the red “PROTECT” LED.

mono bridged. The mono amps are capable of 4, 2 and 1-Ohm.
! A POWER LED indicates the powered up and turned on condition.
Note that the LOW PASS signal is MONO.
-In the LPF position, the HIGH PASS filter acts as a subsonic filter.
-When the LPF mode is selected, a 0 to +12dB, at 45Hz, BASS -EQ
is also switched in.
AT1000 / AT1500 2-CHANNEL AMPLIFIERS
The X-OVER slide switch selects the internal crossover functions:
-The input signal is routed directly to the LINE OUT RCA jacks, regardless of the X-OVER
setting simplifying daisy chaining of amplifiers.
-HPF: Selects the built in HIGH PASS filter, variable from 60 Hz to 1.2kHz.
-FULL: Bypasses all crossovers for full frequency range operation.
-LPF: Selects the built in LOW PASS , variable from 30 Hz to 250Hz.
MODE: The mode switch allows you to choose Stereo for full range 2 channel operation or
MONO for bridging operation
HIGH INPUT: If your radio/CD player does not have unbalanced (RCA) outputs, you can
use the HIGH level (wire) inputs.
LINE INPUT: The line input accepts unbalanced (RCA) inputs from 0.2V to 5V.
LINE OUTPUT: The line output passes through signal from the line inputs which allows
you to daisy chain multiple amplifiers from one signal.

The 4 channel amps have the same features as the 2 channel models accept that there are
2 sets of controls.
1 set for channels 1 & 2 and 1 set for channels 3 & 4.
In addition, the 4 channel models have a Mode switch which allows you to select 2, 3 or 4
channel operation.

-SUBSONIC: Allows you to adjust the crossover filter from 15Hz to 55Hz.
-LPF: Allows yo to adjust the LOW PASS crossover filter from 40Hz to 150Hz.
MODE: The mode switch allows you to choose Stereo for full range 2 channel operation or
MONO for bridging operation
LEVEL: Adjusts the input sensitivity from 0.2 volts to 6 volts.
BASS EQ: The Bass EQ is adjustable from 0db to 12dB.
REMOTE: This is the input jack for the under-dash bass remote module.
LINE INPUT: The line input accepts unbalanced (RCA) inputs from 0.2V to 6V.
LINE OUTPUT: The line output passes through signal from the line inputs which allows you
to daisy chain multiple amplifiers from one signal.
The mono amps are capable of 4, 2 & 1-Ohm loads.
Operating the amp below 1-Ohm can cause damage to the amp not
covered in the warranty.
