WARNING • Do not turn on any function which may distract you while driving the vehicle. Functions requiring sustained attention must only be used when the vehicle is at a complete standstill. Make sure to always stop your vehicle in a safe place before operating these functions. There is a risk of causing an accident. • Keep the volume at a low level so as to be able to hear exterior noises while driving the vehicle. There is a risk of causing an accident. • Do not open the amplifier or un

CAUTION Listening for prolonged period at a high volume level, over 100dB, can lead to permanent deterioration of your hearing. Listening at a volume of over 130dB, even for short periods of time, can cause incurable damage and injury to your hearing. Stop operation in the event of a problem. Failure to heed this precaution may result in injuries or damage to the product. If a problem persists, return the product to your Focal distributor for repair. Use the specified accessories and be sure

installation The below section deals with issues regarding the vehicle which are necessary to take into account for the installation of the amplifier. You’ll save time by planning the system layout and wiring in advance. Ensure that during this preliminary step all the adjustments are accessible once the installation is complete. Before starting the installation, please follow the following rules carefully: 1 - After reading the whole manual, be sure that you have understood all the instructio

installation I - Set-Up and Cabling Where to install the amplifier? The amplifier power is such that substantial heat is generated when it is operation. This is why the amplifier has to be placed in a well-ventilated area of the car. 2 - Attaching the Amplifier (fig. 2) The surface onto which you want to attach the amplifier (boot of the car, etc.) may not be smooth enough (due to bumps, ribs, etc) to make it easy or even possible to fasten the amplifier. If this is the case, we recommend tha

installation 3.2 - Route the low-level audio cables (RCA), the loudspeaker cables, the REMOTE cable, and the REMOTE CONTROL cable together (a REMOTE CONTROL is ONLY supplied with product references FP 1.800 and FP 5.500} and insulate them from other high-power car accessories, and in particular insulate them from electric motors (i.e. the windscreen-wiper motor, etc.). Retain the full length of the cables – adjustments can be made later. 3.3 - Route the positive power cables (+). Make sure w

installation 3.5 - You can now start the connection phase – i.e. connection of the audio signal (RCA), REMOTE, and loudspeaker cables. Connect the RCAs to the amplifier, making sure that the polarities are correct (i.e. INPUT Left = black or white, INPUT Right = red). Connect the other end of the RCAs to the car radio’s RCA* outputs (Left = left ; Right = right). * If the car radio is not equipped with RCA outputs, high-level to low-level adapters (loudspeaker outputs that are used as RCA o

installation WARNING The cable that links the positive (+) terminal to the battery at the amplifier’s “+ BATT” binding post terminal must ABSOLUTELY be fused (see current ratings listed in the table on page 19) not more than 40cm from the vehicle’s battery. The connections on the fuse-holder must be fully insulated. 3.7.1 - You can now start the fuse-holder (the role of which is to make the system safe) installation phase. The fuse-holder must be connected on both sides to the positive (+) p

installation fig. 10 3.12 - Focal amplifiers can be interlinked to facilitate upgrades to the Car Audio system. If you want to create a system that uses several amplifiers, it is therefore possible to save time by not having to connect the source audio cable (from the car radio) to the amplifier again. You simply need to use the “LINE OUT” output on the first Focal amplifier you have installed and connect it to the “INPUT” connector on the new amplifier you are installing. The line level sig

Ajouter LEGENDS Ajouter Connections, features and controls INPUT(S): the RCA sockets are used for input of the line level signal. NOTE: the RCA inputs on the FP 4.75 and FP 5.500 model amplifiers relate to channels 1, 2, 3 and 4. LINE OUT: the RCA sockets enable a second amplifier to be connected into an existing system, without having to install additional RCA cables to connect the front of a vehicle with an additional amplifier. NOTE: the FP 5.500 amplifier system does not include a LIN

LEGENDS LO PASS (low pass): the LO PASS potentiometer means that you can set the low pass filter frequency. The value selected is the frequency below which the signal will be amplified. NOTE: the LO PASS potentiometer on the FP 4.75 model amplifier relat es to channels 1, 2, 3 and 4. The LO PASS switch located at the top of the control panel rela tes to channels 1 and 2; whereas the one at the bottom corresponds to channels 3 and 4.

Tuning Tips In order to optimise the overlap of frequency ranges reproduced by the subwoofer and the coaxial or 2-way kits, we advise you to adjust the frequency of the HI PAS S filter or that of the LO PASS with an RTA (real-time analyser). Another possibility is to refer to the packaging of your kit or its user’s manual. In the case of a Focal kit, the measurements supplied as frequency response take into account the installation of the kit inside a vehicle. Tuning the FP 1.800 amplifier fo
