Setup Instructions

1. Assembly (Optional, if not pre-assembled)

  1. Attach the heat sink to the main chip on the amplifier board.
  2. Secure the amplifier board between the two acrylic plates using the provided standoffs and screws.
  3. Install the volume knob onto the potentiometer shaft.

2. Power Connection

  • Ensure the amplifier is switched off and the volume knob is set to minimum.
  • Connect a DC power supply (9-24V) to the DC IN port (labeled DC9-24V). Use the provided DC power adapter cable if necessary.
  • Important: Using a higher voltage within the specified range (e.g., 24V) is recommended for achieving higher power output.

3. Speaker Connection

  • Connect your passive speakers to the speaker output terminals (labeled L+, L-, R+, R-).
  • Ensure correct polarity: positive (+) to positive, negative (-) to negative for each channel.
  • The amplifier supports speakers with an impedance of 4-8Ω and power rating of 10-100W.

4. Audio Input Connection

Choose one of the following audio input methods:

  • Bluetooth: No physical connection needed. Proceed to Operating Instructions for pairing.
  • AUX: Connect an audio source (e.g., smartphone, MP3 player) to the 3.5mm AUX IN jack using an audio cable.
  • USB: Insert a USB flash drive into the USB IN port or connect the amplifier to a computer via USB for use as a sound card.

3. Input Mode Selection

The amplifier automatically detects the input source. If multiple sources are connected, it will prioritize them or switch based on activity.

  • Bluetooth Mode: When powered on, the amplifier will enter Bluetooth pairing mode. A voice prompt will confirm "Bluetooth Mode".
  • AUX Mode: If an AUX cable is connected and playing audio, the amplifier will switch to AUX input.
  • USB Mode: If a USB flash drive is inserted or connected to a computer, the amplifier will switch to USB input.

4. Bluetooth Pairing

  1. Ensure the amplifier is powered on and in Bluetooth mode (indicated by a voice prompt).
  2. On your audio device (e.g., smartphone, tablet), enable Bluetooth and search for available devices.
  3. Select "ZK-502H" from the list of devices to pair.
  4. Once paired, a voice prompt will confirm the connection. You can now play audio from your device.
