AMPLIFIER SETTINGS Signal Input and Output Configurations The input section of the amplifier consists of a phase switch that sets the output configura- tion, gain controls, and RCA inputs. The input section makes it easy to adapt this amplifier to most system configurations. Four-Channel Amplifier Input Configuration The 4CH / 2CH switch routes input from the front inputs to the rear section of the amplifi- er. This allows the Orion 8004 channel amplifier to utilize a single set of RCA's to feed

Fine Tuning the Crossover Frequency The crossover section is marked at four frequency points for ease of system adjustment. These points are 20Hz, 250Hz, 1kHz, and 3kHz. Specific crossover points can be chosen based on the recommended operational bandwidth of your speakers. Auxiliary Output Configurations The auxiliary outputs on Orion amplifiers offer easy, unlimited system expansion. Routing signal from a source unit, pre-amplifier, or equalizer is a matter of connecting RCA's to the RCA Inpu

AMPLIFIER INSTALLATION Choosing Mounting Locations The location of your amplifier will depend on several important issues. Due to the low pro- file size of the Orion amplifiers, there are many possible installation locations that will yield satisfactory amplifier performance. Always mount the amplifier in a place that protects the amplifier from the elements. In addition, mount the amplifier on a stable, flat surface. NOTE: Mounting amplifiers upside down is not recommended and may cause premat

Power for systems with a single amplifier can be supplied by most automotive electrical sys- tems. Systems with multiple amplifiers may require a higher capacity battery, alternator or the use of a storage capacitor. We strongly recommend the use of a Directed Audio Essentials power capacitor with an extra battery in larger stereo systems. Orion amplifiers generate a certain amount of heat as part of normal operation. Be sure the area around the amplifier is unobstructed to allow adequate air ci

amplifier is twisted or bent. Step 6 Turn the vehicle's key switch to the off position. Step 7 Disconnect the vehicle's battery ground terminal. Step 8 Connect power wires to the amplifier (ground first, then 12 V(+) and RGC). Step 9 Connect the RCA and speaker wires to the amplifier. Check the quality of your speakers and signal connections. This will determine the ultimate per- formance of your Orion amplifier. Refer to the Signal Input and Output Level Controls and Speaker Connections section

Adjusting the Sound of the System Once you have checked the system's operation, adjust the sound of the system. Adjusting the sound of the system is accomplished by setting the level controls and adjusting the internal crossovers. Step 1 Turn the signal source volume control all the way down. Set any tone con- trols to their flat or defeated positions. This includes the loudness control. Step 2 Turn the level controls of the amplifier to their minimum positions. Step 3 Choose music with high dyn
