Setup
Unpacking
Carefully remove the amplifier from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage during transit. Retain the original packaging for future transport or storage.
Physical Placement
Place the amplifier on a stable, flat surface. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. Avoid placing it near heat sources, direct sunlight, or areas with excessive dust or moisture.
Connections
Before making any connections, ensure the amplifier is powered off and unplugged from the mains supply.
- Input Modules: The A-912MK2 is a modular mixer amplifier. Insert appropriate input modules (e.g., microphone, line, telephone) into the designated slots on the rear panel. Ensure modules are securely seated.
- Speaker Outputs: Connect your speakers to the amplifier's output terminals. Observe correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). This amplifier supports various speaker impedances; refer to the specifications for compatible loads.
- External Devices: Connect any external audio processing equipment (e.g., equalizers, effects units) to the amplifier's send/return jacks if available.
- Power Connection: Once all audio connections are made, connect the power cord to the amplifier and then to a suitable AC power outlet.
Operating Instructions

Powering On/Off
- To power on, ensure all volume controls are at their minimum setting, then press the power switch located on the front panel. The power indicator will illuminate.
- To power off, turn down all volume controls, then press the power switch.
Input Level Adjustment
Each input channel has a dedicated level control knob on the front panel. Adjust these knobs to set the individual volume for each connected source. Start with low levels and gradually increase to avoid sudden loud sounds.
Tone Controls
The amplifier features bass and treble tone controls. Use these to adjust the overall tonal balance of the audio output. Turn clockwise to boost frequencies and counter-clockwise to cut them.
Master Volume
The large master volume knob controls the overall output level of the amplifier. Adjust this to set the final listening volume for your speakers.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the amplifier. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Ventilation: Periodically check that the ventilation openings are free from dust and debris to ensure proper airflow.
- Storage: If storing the unit for an extended period, disconnect it from power and store it in a cool, dry place, ideally in its original packaging.
