BASIC CONCEPT
The audio amplifiers in most televisions, even monitors, usually
deliver a few watts - not enough to properly drive many external
speakers connected to the set.The ASAP2 amplifies any local sound
source (like a TV or Multimedia), and will deliver 50 Watts per
channel into 8 ohms or 65 watts per channel into 4 ohms. It also
provides flawless automatic switching between the Local source
(TV) and a Main house audio system. The versatile triggering
system will allow multitude of automation possibilies. When
connected to both sources, the ASAP2 enables the local area
speakers to play the Main music system normally, and then switch
to the Local music source automatically.
BASH
®
POWER AMPLIFICATION
The Sonamp
®
ASAP2 uses a new revolutionary power amplifier
technology called BASH
®
that is high efficiency and requires very
little heat sink area. Conventional power amplifier technology to
produce the same power output would require massive heat sinks
and a larger chassis for cooling. The amplifier is fully protected
against overheating, short circuits and low impedance loading
.
UNPACKING
Save your carton and the styrofoam inserts for future safe transport in
case you move or the unit ever requires shipping for repair. Note, it is
best if you place it into an additional outer "overcarton" before
shipment to minimize a chance of theft in shipment.
Before you proceed, find the serial number which is located on the
rear panel of the unit and note it here for future reference.

PLACEMENT OF YOUR ASAP2 SAT
The ASAP2 is designed to operate automatically and is housed in a
compact chassis that can be mounted out of sight. The unit can be
placed horizontally on its rubber feet, or the rubber feet can be easily
removed by peeling them off of the bottom of the chassis for rack
mounting.When used with a TV set, it may be convenient to hide the
unit on the back or side wall of the cabinet or bookshelf (not on the TV
itself). The ASAP2 features screw mounting holes on the bottom of the
chassis (see figure on top of next column).Mount the ASAP2 vertically
with the heat sinks on top.As with any other power amplifier, allow for
adequate air circulation around the unit and do not mount it in direct
sunlight or near a heat source such as hot air ducts or radiators.
DO NOT PLUG THE ASAP2 IN UNTIL ALL OTHER
CONNECTIONS ARE MADE. MAKE SURE ALL SOURCE
AMPLIFIERS BEING CONNECTED TO THE UNIT ARE OFF
MAKING CONNECTIONS
Before making any signal or speaker connections, make sure your
power amplifier is turned off and unplugged.When making
connections, make sure there is no strain or tension on input leads or
speaker wires that could cause them to pull loose later on.
Input and Output Connections
Use the RCA jacks for the R and L channels. Make sure these are
consistent with the R and L outputs from your preamplifier/receiver.
Looping Jacks
Your ASAP2 provides a pair of RCA output jacks,which duplicate the
input signal.These facilitate connection of additional power amplifiers
from a single source component.With these un-buffered output jacks,
you can link or "loop" amplifiers without messy Y-cord adaptors.
Speaker Connections
Very Important: Before starting, the output connections are
naturally in bridged mode. This means that the negative terminals
are inverting power amplifiers. NO COMMON GROUNDS! Do not
connect negative terminals together under any circumstances.
Never use 3 conductor wire,sharing the negative output terminals.
