5. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

5.1 Encendido inicial

Después de realizar todas las conexiones, vuelva a conectar el terminal negativo de la batería del vehículo. amplifier's power indicator should illuminate. If not, check power and ground connections and the fuse.

5.2 Ajuste de ganancia

El control de ganancia coincide con el amplifier's input sensitivity to the output level of your head unit. Start with the gain set to minimum. Play a familiar music track with a strong bass signal at about 75% of your head unit's maximum volume. Slowly increase the ampAumente la ganancia del amplificador hasta oír distorsión, luego reduzca ligeramente. Esto garantiza una salida limpia y óptima.

5.3 Ajustes de cruce

The A800.1 features a variable low-pass filter (LPF) and a subsonic filter.
