AC supply not connected or
switched off
Blown fuse
Check AC connections and switches
Check and replace fuses at plug and IEC
socket. USE ONLY SAME TYPEAND RATING!
NO sound
(Power
LED on)
No input, or input too low
Level controls set too low
Speakers faulty or not connected
Check input is connected, and LED
Increase level controls
Check speakers and speaker connections
Hum or
buzz is
audible
Noise from AC supply is being
picked up in the signal path
There is an earth problem
Use good quality, shielded signal cables and ensure they
are kept away from AC power cables and other AC
powered equipment
Use a mains tester to ensure the AC outlet has a good
earth. Power connected equipment(e.g mixer and amp)
from the same AC outlet where possible.
Distortion
is audible
Excessive signal level somewhere
in signal chain.
Damaged or poor quality
cables
Sound cuts
out or is I
ntermittent
Damaged or poor quality cables or
connectors,connectors not properly
inserted, amp overheating
Use only high quality cables of the appropriate type,
protect them from damage and regularly check
connections.
Use the LED to ensure the AC outlet has a good earth.
Power connected equipment from the same AC outlet
where possible
Check all cables and connections, refer to above
sections regarding distortion and temp warning light

Two front-panel mounting holes are provided on each mounting ear.
Series amplifiers are cooled by fan.Cool air flows over the heat sink and exhausts
through the front grill.Make sure this outlet remains clear to allow unrestricted airflow.
Two input attenuators adjust level for their respective amplifier channels. In Bridged Mono
modes, the channel A attenuator controls overall signal level (see rear panel mode switch
description).
This Red LED indicates that the amp channel is in Protect mode.During Power up, the amp
briefly goes into protect mode in order to prevent any loud speakers from being fed the
speakers. After a few seconds the amp comes out of protect mode and is ready for normal
operation. If the amp stays in Protect mode, this indicates that there may be a problem internal
to the amp. If the amp goes into Protect mode during operation this indicates that either a
problem has developed internal to the amp or the amp is being over-stressed and needs to
cool down. After a Protect condition, the amp must be reset by cycling the power off and then
on again in order to continue using it.
When the output power exceeds the safe working range of the amplifier,the CLIP LED are lit.

EachChannel features balanced XLR and 1/4"jacksockets wired in parallel. The Balanced
signalsare less sensitive to hum noisegeneratedbyAC.
Thestereo power amplifier presents two operatingmodes:
-Stereo Mode
Inthis mode, channelAand channel B operate independently(asa normal stereo amplifier). The
ChannelAinputsignal willbe output from the channelAoutput connector,andchannel B input
signalwill be output from the channelBoutput connector.
-Parallel Mono Mode
Inthis mode, channelAinput signal will be outputfromthe output connectors of both channels.
12.LIMITERSwitch
Ifa very high level signal isdriveninto the amplifier,the output signal will"CLIP",that is the peaks
ofthe waveform will be flattered. The Clip Limitercircuitautomatically reduces the gain to prevent
theoverdrive.Youcan switch the Clip Limiter circuitONand OFF via the (11) switch ontherear
panelof your LAseries. If you use fullrange speakers, the Clip Limiter circuitwillreduce the high
frequencydistortion and it will also protectthehigh frequency drivers. However,some Users
preferto switch the Limiter OFF togetmore punch from Kick Drumsandother sounds in the low
frequenciesarea.

Thisfan secures enough cooling for yourPEXA3000,PEXA5000 amplifier.
SPEAKONconnectors are specifically designed to connecthighpower speakers.The correct
polarityis secured automatically,theyprevent shock hazard and theylock-insecurely.
Pleasemake sure to respect the speakerpolaritywhen using binding post.
Caution:turnoffthe unitbefore connecting an audio signal tothebinding post to avoid anyelectric
shock!
Pleasemake sure that your local voltagematchesthe voltage indicated on theunit.
SignalGround lift switch is used toliftthe balanced input connectors'ground/shield fromthe
amplifier'sground. When the signal ground lifted,thesound source disconnects from the
amplifier'sground preventing ground loops which cangeneratehum and noise. See thesignal
groundlift switch instructions for more detail.
Thepower amplifier must be connected onlywiththe attached three-wire safety powercordwith
protectiveconductor (nonfused earthed conductor).
Thisamplifier is made for use withtemains voltage labelled on thebackof the amplifier only.
Checkthe label on the back panelofthe amplifier for the appropriatevoltage.Make sure the
voltageof your mains outlet is correct.The power voltageisfactory set as labelled on theback
paneland cannot be change afterwards. Damagecausedby connecting the amplifier to
ImproperACvoltagevoids the warranty.
Allowsselection of 0.775V, 1.0Vor1.40V sensitivity.
Thisfan secures enough cooling for yourPEXA8000 amplifier.The airflow isfront-to-rear.Thefan
speedis electronically regulated depending on thetemperatureof the power devices.
*DOnot use these amplifiers in damporhigh humidity environments. Do notuseoutdoors or
anywherewhere liquids could fall or splashontothe amplifier.
*Ensurethe amp is adequately ventilated, withfreeairflow to the front andrearpanels. Keep
awayfrom other heat sources. If theampsare mounted in a rackwithother amps, ensure there is
adequatecool air flow front and rear.Note thatair is drawn in through theback panel, and
exhaustedthrough the front panel.
*Nevercover the amplifiers, as they mayoverheat.
*PYLEPRO power amplifiers are designed tofitstandard 19U racks, with a2Uheight and 17
depth.Werecommend theuse of rear rack supports, especiallyifthe rack is to bemobile.Use
shakeproof washers or thread lock adhesivetoprevent mounting bolts becoming looseintransit.
*Ensurethat theAC power supply is correct foryour amplifier.TherequiredAC supplyisstated
onthe rear panel next to theACpowerinput.
*Ensurethat you use the correct typeofmains lead for your equipmentandcountry.This must be
freefrom damage and easily accessible duringuse.
