[. . . ] Seven-Channel Power Amplifier Model 7200 Model 7125 Model 7075 Owner's Manual Version 1. 0 Owner's Manual Please Read First Please Read First Installation Location To assure proper operation and to avoid the potential for safety hazards, place the unit on a firm and level surface capable of supporting 75 pounds or more. When placing the amplifier on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and any mounting hardware can support the weight of the amplifier and any additional items in the equipment rack, or on the shelf. When positioning the amplifier in its final location, make certain that it has adequate ventilation on all sides, as well as on the top and bottom. In particular, it is a good idea to provide at least two or three inches of room above the amplifier for air circulation. [. . . ] These posts will accept bare wire, spade lugs or banana type plugs, when they are permitted by local safety agencies. If bare wire is used for the connections, strip approximately 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch (20mm) of insulation from the end of each wire and carefully twist the strands of each conductor together. Correct polarity connections are important to maintain proper speaker phasing. When speaker phasing is correct, all speakers move in and out at the same time, preserving the imaging of the program material. Out-of-phase connections mean that some speaker cones will be moving in, while others move out. This will cause indistinct or confused imaging, and muddled and cloudy sounds. To avoid incorrect phasing or polarity, be certain to use cable that has distinct markings, colors, stripes, wording, or grooves on each side of the speaker cable. When making connections to the amp and speakers, adhere to a consistent pattern of using one side of the wire to the red terminals and Seven-Channel Power Amplifier 5 Owner's Manual Rear Panel Connections Rear Panel Connections (typical) ­ ­ + ­ + Connect to 12V Trigger from Pre/Pro or other device + ­ ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + ­ + + Model 7125 shown 6 Outlaw Audio + ­ + ­ + ­ Owner's Manual Amplifier Operation Power Control Connections Your Outlaw amplifier features a built-in remote turn-on system that will automatically switch the unit on when another device in the system is switched on. Remote Turn-On Using Products Equipped With a 12 Volt Trigger Jack Press the front panel power switch on the amplifier so that it is in the ON position. Then, using an accessory cable with a 3. 5mm mono mini-plug on each end, connect the trigger-output jack on the rear of the source device to the trigger input jack on the back panel of the amplifier. When these connections are made, the amplifier will automatically turn on whenever the triggering device is turned on. Remote Turn on Using External AC to DC Power Converter If your processor or receiver does not have a dedicated trigger jack, it is still possible to activate the unit for automatic turn on when a Switched Outlet is available on the rear of the source device. To control the amplifier in this fashion you will need a small AC to DC power converter, capable of delivering a 6 to 12 volt DC signal. This type of converter may be obtained as a Power Adapter from many electronics retailers. When installing, press the Main Power Switch on the front panel of the amplifier in so that it is in the ON position. Plug the AC adapter into a switched outlet that will be activated when you wish to have the amplifier turn on. This may be the switched outlet at the rear of an AC receiver or other audio equipment. Connect the 3. 5mm mini-plug from the adapter to the trigger-input jack on the back panel of the amplifier. The amplifier will now turn on and off automatically, based on the status of the controlling device. Amplifier Operation After all connections have been made you are ready for listening. This avoids the possibility of any turn-on pops or transients from other equipment being amplified and sent to your speakers where they may cause damage. Always start with a low volume level on your controller or preamp to avoid damage to your speakers. Manual On Simply press the front panel Power/Standby button until the light is illuminated. There will be a short pause from the time the power is turned on until power is applied to the speakers.
