Congratulations

on

your

purchase

of

a

Harman

Kardon

CA212

High

Fidelity

Power

Amplifier.

To

fully

understand

the

CA212's

capability,

please

read

this

manual

carefully

and

follow

all

of

the

instructions

regard-

ing

its

use

and

installation.

•r

:

■

5

Amperes

of

HCC

(High

instantaneous

Current

Capabil-

ity)

maintain

a

wide

dynamic

range

and

low

distortion

when

driving

low

impedance

or

reactive

loads.

■

Ultrawide

Bandwidth

is

achieved

by

the

use

of

inherently

fast

open

-loop

circuitry.

This

improves

transient

accuracy

and

phase

linearity.

■

Low

Negative

Feedback

Highly

linear

circuitry

produces

low

distortion

with

only

35dB

of

negative

feedback.

This

further

improves

dynamic

accu-

racy.

•

This

unit

is

for

use

in

cars

with

12

volt

negative

ground

systems

only.

Never

install

this

unit

in

a

car

using

a

24V

battery

or

a

12V

battery

with

positive

ground.

•

To

prevent

discharge

of

the

car

battery,

do

not

use

this

unit

for

long

periods

of

time

when

the

engine

is

not

running.

•

Should

the

fuse

blow,

first

check

that

the

connections

are

correct

and

then

be

sure

to

replace

the

fuse

with

a

5

ampere

fuse,

of

the

same

type

as

the

one

supplied

with

the

unit.

•

Do

not

use

speakers

with

a

nominal

impedance

less

than

4

Ohms.

•

This

unit

is

of

the

bridged

-mono

connection

type.

Never

let

the

speaker

output

wires

touch

the

car

chassis.

Do

not

use

a

common

ground

for

the

left

and

right

channels.

•

Do

not

operate

the

unit

at

high

power

levels

inside

a

very

hot

car

such

as

would

occur

if

the

car

was

left

in

direct

sunlight

with

the

windows

shut.

Wait

until

the

temperature

in

the

car

returns

to

normal.

•

If

your

unit
