1x Monolith 7x 200-watt power amplifier

1x AC power cord (NEMA 5-15 to IEC 60320 C19)

1x User's manual

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

A. INPUT 1-7: RCA and XLR line-level inputs for connection to the preamplifier outputs

on a dedicated preamplifier or AV receiver. The Input Select switch switches

between the RCA and XLR inputs.

B. TRIGGER INPUT: 3.5mm TS jack for connection to the trigger output of a source

device. The presence of voltage on this input will cause the amplifier to power on.

The amplifier will automatically power down into standby mode after the trigger

signal has been removed.

C. OUTPUT 1-7: Paired 5-way binding posts for connecting the speakers.

D. POWER INPUT: The IEC 60320 C20 panel connector connects to the included high-

current AC power cable.

E. MASTER POWER: The Master Power switch is used to apply or remove power to the

amplifier. By contrast, the Power switch on the front panel is used to switch the

amplifier between standby mode and full power on.

F. GND: Chassis ground. While a grounding wire is rarely needed, occasionally there is

a hum issue when components are interconnected. This can be remedied by tying

their chassis grounds together.

POWER SWITCH (Front Panel, not pictured): Switches the amplifier between

standby mode and full power on.

CABLE PREPARATION

You will need several cables for this installation. None of the cables or connectors

mentioned in this section are included with the system.

Important Safety Note! If you plan on running any of these cables through the walls,

through a connecting floor, or inside an air duct, they should be rated for In-Wall, Riser

(between floors), or Plenum (air duct) use in commercial installations. For residential

installations, an In-Wall rating is sufficient for all circumstances. Using unrated or

improperly rated cables could accelerate the spread of any fire and could nullify insurance

claims.

Speaker Wires

You will need seven speaker wires to connect each speaker to the amplifier. The size

(AWG) of wire you choose depends on the distance from the amplifier to the speakers, the

speaker impedance, and the physical limits of the terminals at each end.

Other than saving a few pennies of cost or grams of weight per foot, there is no reason to

use anything other than the thickest wire possible. This amplifier uses 5-way binding post

connectors, which can accept bare wire, spade lugs, banana plugs, and pin plugs. For

anything other than extremely short speaker wire runs, you should use at least 14AWG

wire, but preferably 12AWG or 10AWG, depending on which gauges your speakers can

accept.

Whichever speaker wire you get, make sure that it has marks to identify one conductor

from another. Most speaker wire uses a colored stripe to identify one of the conductors.

The identified conductor is usually used for the positive (+/red) connection and the other

for the negative (-/black) side.

Note: When cutting speaker wire, ensure that the length of each stereo pair is the same.

This ensures that the overall impedance of each paired channel is identical. If there is any

excess speaker wire, it should not be coiled, as it could create an antenna to receive stray

radio signals. Instead, snake the excess wire back and forth.

RCA or XLR Cables

You will need seven single RCA or XLR cables to connect the preamp outputs on your

preamplifier to the inputs on this amplifier. In most cases, ordinary RCA cables are

sufficient. However, if there is a significant distance between the amplifier and the

preamplifier, it is recommended to use RCA cables manufactured using shielded RG6 or

RG59 cable. For long distance cable runs, balanced XLR cables are highly recommended.

Trigger Cables

This amplifier features a low voltage trigger input, which can switch the amplifier from

standby mode into full power on mode whenever the trigger signal is detected. The trigger

signal consists of a low-current, low-voltage signal (between 3.3 and 24 VDC) applied to

the input, which is carried between components with a cable that terminates in a 3.5mm

TS plug.

REMOTE POWER ON

This amplifier features a trigger input, which is used to switch the amplifier between

standby mode and full power on mode. The input is a 3.5mm TS jack that accepts a voltage

level from 3.3 to 24 VDC. Some source devices feature a trigger output, which can be used

to trigger the amp.

If your source device does not contain a trigger output, but does have a switched AC

outlet, you can obtain a trigger adapter, which consists of an AC adapter with a 3.5mm TS

plug on the end of the cord. This adapter can then provide the necessary trigger signal

whenever the component it is plugged into is turned on.

To use the amplifier with remote power on, the Master Power switch on the rear panel

should be in the ON position and the Power switch on the front panel in the Standby

position.

To override the remote power on feature or to use the amp without it, simply use the

Power switch on the front panel to turn the amp on and off (standby).

INSTALLATION

Perform the following steps to install this amplifier into a 7.1-channel audio system.

1. Power off and unplug all equipment that will be connected to this amplifier.

2. Prepare seven lengths of speaker wire (not included) to connect each of the seven

output channels to its respective speaker.

3. Using a two-conductor speaker wire, connect one end to the input terminals on the

speaker, then connect the other end to the Output terminals on the amplifier. Take

care to maintain polarity with positive to positive and negative to negative.

4. Repeat step 3 for each of the other six speakers.

5. Using a single RCA interconnect cable (not included), plug one end into the Input on

the amplifier, then plug the other end into the preamplifier output of the same

name.

Example: Connect the Center channel input on the amplifier to the Center channel

output on the preamplifier.

6. Repeat step 5 for each of the other six channels.

7. (Optional) Using a two-conductor 3.5mm TS cable (not included), plug one end into

the Trigger Input on the amplifier, then plug the other end into the trigger output

on your source device.

8. Ensure that the Master Power switch is in the OFF position and that the Power

switch is in the Standby position.

9. Using the included AC power cable, plug the C19 connector on the cable into the

C20 panel connector on the amplifier, then plug the other end into a nearby AC

power source.

Warning! Do not plug the amplifier into a switched outlet on a preamplifier or other

audio component. The amplifier should be plugged directly into an AC wall outlet.

10. Ensure that the volume on the preamplifier is set to the minimum level.

11. Power on all equipment connected to the amplifier, then press the Master Power

button on the amp to power it ON. The power button LED will blink until the

circuitry is properly warmed up. Once the LED stops blinking and illuminates

steadily, the amplifier has finished the start-up process and is ready for operation.

Note: It is recommended to always turn the amplifier on last and to turn it off first

whenever powering your audio system on or off. This ensures that any pops or

transient spikes, which could cause damage to the delicate speaker coils, are not

sent to your speakers.

Congratulations, your amplifier is connected and ready for use!

MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER

The Master Power switch on the rear panel doubles as a circuit breaker. If the circuit

breaker trips into the off position, try flipping it back on. If it immediately trips back off,

unplug the amplifier from the power source and have it serviced.

PROTECTION CIRCUITRY

If the amplifier senses a short on one of the speaker wires the built-in protection circuit will

cut off audio output. The circuit will continue to monitor the line and will stay cut off as

long as the short continues to exist. If this occurs, inspect the speaker wire connections at

each end and fix any shorts that exist. Once the short is repaired, the amplifier will

continue to operate as normal.
