Cary Audio Design CAD-280SA Stereo Amplifier User Manual


 
Specifications for your newV-12R power amplifier.
We have updated the V-12 mono and stereo models to a RACING (R) version! The
new racing input circuit makes the input sensitivity 1.2 volts, similar to most
components currently available. Operating the power amplifier is a simple procedure.
Each unit is designed for long term stability in virtually any home operating situation.
Please note, if the unit is operated outside the parameters outlined in this owner's
manual, damage may result. Please read this manual carefully before putting your new
V-12R in operation. The following definitions are applicable. Warnings should be
