IMPORTANT

DIFFERENCES

BETWEEN

THE

DCM

AND

DCA

SERIES

AMPLIFIERS

In

every

respect

the

operation

of

the

DCM

series

amplifiers

is

identical

to

the

DCA

series

amps

(using

one

channel)

.

Both

amplifiers

offer

thermostatic

protection

against

overheating

and

Feature

nearly

identical

signal-

specs.

The

following

are

a

few

important

areas

of

consideration

when

operating

your

DCM

series

amplifier:

#1

Please

refer

to

Section

#7

"Important

Must

Read"

for

information

regarding

the

reliable

operation

of

your

DCM

series

amplifier.

This

section

(athough

targeted

toward

the

DCA

series

amps)

also

refers

directly

to

the

operation

of

the

DCM

series

amps.

Also,

read

the

"Precautions"

portion

of

that

section

for

additional

information

on

the

reliable

and

safe

operation

of

your

new

amp.

Section

#8

"Input"

and

"Output"

connections

also

deals

with

information

relating

to

the

use

of

the

DCM

series

amps.

Reading

over

these

areas

of

Section

tr'e

should

helm

further

clarify

the

use

of

the

DCM

series

amps

in

a

sound

sus

`em

and

obtaining

maximum

performance

and

reliability

from

uour

amp.

Tr

Section

48

"Bridging

the

Amp"

does

not

relate

to

the

DCr,

series

amps.

An

internally

bridged

amplifier

requires

(a)

power

amp

output

sections.

Since

the

DCM

series

amps

are

"Monaural"

they

do

not

have

this

capability

of

"internal

bridging."

#Li

Section

#8

"Hooking

Up

3

&

Li

way

systems"

deals

with

some

pictorial

examples

of

typical

system

setups.

We

have

incorporated

some

examples

using

the

Dal

series

amps

for

illustration.

The

Technical

section

of

this

manual

contains

sections

dealing

with

the

internal

circuitry

and

design

of

both

the

DCA

and

DCM

series

amps.

Should

your

unit

ever

require

servicing

this

section

should

provide

the

necessary

information.
