Operation Manual
3.1 Precautions
Your Macro-Tech Series amplifier is protected
from internal and external faults, but you should
still take the following precautions for optimum
performance and safety:
1. Before use, your amplifier first must be con-
figured for proper operation, including input
and output wiring hookup. Improper wiring
can result in serious operating difficulties.
For information on wiring and configura-
tion, please consult the Setup section of this
manual or, for advanced setup techniques,
consult Crown’s Amplifier Application
Guide available online at www.crownau-
dio.com.
2. Use care when making connections, select-
ing signal sources and controlling the out-
put level. The load you save may be your
own!
3. Do not short the ground lead of an output
cable to the input signal ground. This may
form a ground loop and cause oscillations.
4. Never connect the output to a power
supply, battery or power main. Elec-
trical shock may result.
5. Tampering with the circuitry, or making
unauthorized circuit changes, may be haz-
ardous and invalidates all agency listings.
6. Do not operate the amplifier with the Signal/
IOC LEDs constantly indicating an IOC con-
dition.
7. Do not overdrive the mixer, which will cause
a clipped signal to be sent to the amplifier.
Such signals will be reproduced with
extreme accuracy, and loudspeaker damage
may result.
