SAFETY PRECAUTIONS PLEASE READ BEFORE INSTALLING WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. The lightning flash with arrowhead, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user of the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to you. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user of the presence of

The ST260's purpose and function The ST260 is a compact, very efficient, two channel power amplifier. It is designed to be used in all types of audio or audio/video systems. The term versatile is almost adequate to describe the variance of operational modes the ST260 is capable of providing. This is all accomplished through the simple placement of internal jumpers and the paralleling or bridging of it’s outputs and/or linking multiple ST260’s. Here is a listing for some of the many tasks it c

Example: When using 4 ohm and 8 ohm speakers together, the 4 ohm may sound louder then 8 ohm at a given volume level. The level controls on the amplifier are used to match the speakers volume level. Clockwise will increase the output. Counter clockwise will decrease the output. )LJXUH& Inputs RCA type connectors accept line input from the preamplifier’s unbalanced output connectors. There are two input connectors, one for each channel, that may be used to connect the amplifier to the pream

Outputs Five way binding posts are provided. One pair for each channel. They are designed to accept a banana-type plug or spade lug connector (shown below) and are color coded for easy identification. The red (+) post should always be connected to the speakers (+) jack. The black (-) post should always be connected to the speakers (-) jack. Spade connector Banana jack Here is a typical amplifier setup: )LJXUH( Page 8

ST260’s internal bus structure In order to gain access to the internal bus structure, you must first remove the top cover. Turn the amplifier so the rear panel is facing your. The jumper modules may be seen on the circuit board just behind the level controls. Below is the default setup for the ST260 amplifier. By arranging the jumpers allows you to configure the amplifier for different applications. If you wish to use the amplifier as a stereo (two channel) amplifier, you need not change a

R BUS - Along with being the right channel input, it is used as the input to the right bus and the right source for the ‘L+R BUS’. Because it is a BUS input, any signal input here will appear at the ‘R BUS’ jumper terminal for both of the ST260’s jumper modules. L+R BUS - Installing a jumper plug at this terminal on either of the two internal jumper modules selects the combined signal being carried by both the left and right inputs. If the left bus and right bus are being used to carry stereo

Mono application (Medium current) The ST260’s two output channels may be paralleled (mono) to combine the left and right channels output current. This feature allows the amplifier to double its apparent output current. To use, place the source group jumper for both channels on the ‘L BUS’ jumper terminal. Place the volume group jumper for both channels on the ‘NO VOL’ jumper terminal. )LJXUH+ The speaker output terminals on the ST260’s rear panel must be paralleled in order to complete the s

Bridged application (High voltage) The ST260 may be bridged to drive a high impedance speaker. To use, place the source group jumper for both channels on the ‘L BUS’ jumper terminal. Place the volume group jumper for both channels on the ‘NO VOL’ jumper terminal. Place the jumper module on the ‘-L’ terminal. )LJXUH. Finally, connect the speakers (+) to the right channels (+) terminal and the speakers (-) to the left channels (+) terminal. Input your source signal into the left channel inp

System installation There will most likely be a number of cables involved in the installation of your home entertainment system. Pre-planning is essential in order to maximize system efficiency. We recommend the following as a means of helping you reach that goal: Make a diagram of your proposed system by laying out the relative location of each component in the system. Then lay out the proposed cable runs between them. Number each cable and record its length on the diagram for future ref

Connect the wires from your speakers to the appropriate output on the amplifier. It is absolutely essential that you observe correct polarity in these connections. Example: If you connect your right output of your preamplifier to R channel input on the amplifier, remember to connect your right front speaker wires to R channel outputs. Always observe polarity when connecting speakers, connect amplifiers (+) to the speakers (+) and amplifiers (-) to speakers (-). Double check all connect
