If the input signal is mono, connect the source via the LEFT input only (also marked "MONO" on the back of amplifier). Then slide the STEREO/MONO selector switch to MONO and the signal will be routed through both channels. O O O O U IE O T STEREO/MONO SWITCH IN "MONO" POSITION MONO SIGNAL SOURCE Speaker connections You can connect 4 Ohm, 8 Ohm, or 16 Ohm speakers to Channel A and/or Channel B of the amplifier. If you connect two pairs of speakers, be sure to follow these guidelines: • Speakers which are connected to the same channel are part of a pair, and must be of the same impedance. • Speakers connected to different channels are NOT part of a pair, and can be of different impedances. 1. Prepare the speaker wire by removing about 1 inch of insulation from the end of speaker wire you intend to connect to the amplifier. Then twist the exposed wire to secure all the wire strands. NOTE: Use 18-gauge speaker wire for lengths up to 25 feet; 16-gauge wire for lengths over 25 feet. It is recommended that you use the shortest length of wire possible. 2. Connect the speaker wire to the speaker's positive and negative terminals. NOTE: Most speaker terminals are either color-coded or have a mark that indicates the terminal's polarity. Usually positive terminals are red or have a plus symbol (+), and negative terminals are black or have a minus symbol (-). 3. Connect the speaker wires to the amplifier's left and right speaker terminals according to the terminal color polarity. 4, 190 R WMPI- - IRMO I- 4 OHMS MIN.

To listen privately, or to monitor sound sources, connect a pair of low impedance stereo headphones (not supplied) with 6.35mm plug into the PHONES jack on the amplifier front panel. Please listen safely. Follow these recommendations: CAUTION:If the impedance of your speakers is 4 OHMS, do not use both the speaker A and speaker B terminal at the same time as the net impedance may be low enough to damage your amplifier. Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended, high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss. Always start with the volume control set to a LOW level BEFORE you put the headphones on. Then gradually increase the voulume as necessary. Connecting to standard AC power After making all other connections, set the POWER switch to OFF position. Then connect the power cord to a standard AC outlet. Caring for your Pyle Pro Amplifier Your Pyle Pro Amplifier is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your amplifier so you can enjoy years of use: • Keep the amplifier dry. If it gets wet, wipe immediately. • Use the amplifier only in well-ventilated installations. • Handle the amplifier away from dust and dirt. • Wipe occasionally with a damp cloth to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemical, solvents or detergents! Replacing a fuse Mounting the amplifier This amplifier is designed to accept standard rack mounting installations. Two slots on each end of the front panel make it suitable for such an installation. Tightly secure four mounting screws (not supplied) through these four slots and into your standard electronics equipment rack. This amplifier requires a fuse with the proper rating for protection from power surges and short circuits. If the amplifier suddenly turns off or will not turn on, the fuse is properly blown. Remove the old fuse and replace it with an identical, serviceable fuse: PT-2801 = 7A (110-120V) OR 3.5A (220-240V) PT-2401 = 5A (110-120V) OR 2.5A (220-240V) Turning the amplifier on 1.Turn on the audio input source equipment which is connected to the amplifier INPUT jack. 2.Set the amplifier's left and right output level gain controls to the minimum level settings. 3.Press the power switch to turn the amplifier on. CAUTION:Never use a fuse with a higher rating. PYLE PRO PT-2401/2801 Amplifier Owner's Manual - 3

do
not
use
both
the
speaker
A
and
speaker
B
terminal
at
the
same
time
as
the
net
