4. General Guidelines
Refer to the Velleman® Service and Quality Warranty on the last pages of this manual.
Keep this device away from dust and extreme heat. Make sure the ventilation openings
are clear at all times. For sufficient air circulation, leave at least 1” (± 2.5 cm) in front
of the openings.
Protect this device from shocks and abuse. Avoid brute force when operating the
device.
Familiarise yourself with the functions of the device before actually using it. Do not allow
operation by unqualified people. Any damage that may occur will most probably be due to
unprofessional use of the device.
All modifications of the device are forbidden for safety reasons. Damage caused by user
modifications to the device is not covered by the warranty.
Only use the device for its intended purpose. All other uses may lead to short circuits, burns,
electroshocks, lamp explosion, crash, etc. Using the device in an unauthorised way will void the
warranty.
Damage caused by disregard of certain guidelines in this manual is not covered by the warranty
and the dealer will not accept responsibility for any ensuing defects or problems.
A qualified technician should install and service this device.
Do not switch the device on immediately after it has been exposed to changes in temperature.
Protect the device against damage by leaving it switched off until it has reached room
temperature.
This device is a professional audio amplifier for amplifying audio signals. This product is allowed
to be operated with an alternating current of 230VAC / 50Hz or 115VAC / 60Hz and was designed
for indoor use only.
Important remark: the operation of an amplification system in public or industrial areas is subject
to specific safety instructions. Contact the proper authorities for more information.
Choose an installation spot where the device will not be exposed to extreme heat, moisture or
dust. Don’t leave cables lying around. They only endanger your own safety and that of others.
Only use the device in an ambient temperature of -5°C to +45°C. Keep away from direct
insulation and heaters.
The relative humidity must not exceed 50%.
Always disconnect the device from the mains during thunderstorms as overvoltage could destroy
the device.
Never use solvents or aggressive detergents in order to clean the device. Use a soft and damp
cloth.
Removing the serial bar code from the device will void the warranty.
The figures in this manual describe the VPA2100U1. Other models and their features are
comparable with the VPA2100U1.
Use the original packaging if the device is to be transported.
Keep this manual for future reference.
5. Legal Provisions
Operating an amplification system can produce extremely high noise levels that may cause
permanent hearing loss. The legal instructions for using an amplification system vary from
country to country. The user is responsible for respecting the legal provisions applicable in his
country.
Always monitor the sound pressure level when operating an amplification system in discos,
concerts etc. Never exceed the permissible noise level as specified by the law.
Hearing damage caused by high noise levels can be regarded as a physical injury and may lead to
criminal prosecution.
Please note that the organiser is responsible for respecting maximum noise levels.
6. Information on Hearing Loss
More and more younger people suffer from hearing loss of 25dB or more, mainly caused by
listening to loud music. Every person operating amplification systems should know to what sound
pressure levels he is exposed to. In a discotheque, average levels of 75dB to 105dB are reached.
At a rock concert, the sound pressure levels can rise from 95dB up to 115dB. Individual peaks
can exceed the 130dB pain level. Such levels are typical for e.g. motor chain saws.
VPA2100U1 Rev. 01
29/07/2011 ©Velleman nv

An Overview on the Different Noise Levels
10dB – Heartbeat
25dB – Whisper
40dB – Average home
50dB – Light traffic
60dB – Normal conversation
70dB – Vacuum cleaner
80dB – Telephone ringing
90dB – Pneumatic drill
100dB – Power mower
120dB – Boom box in car
130dB – Pain level
140dB – Jet plane 30m overhead
It is important to know that a 3dB increase will double the sound level. The human hearing only
recognises a doubling of the sound level when the noise level is increased by 10dB. Hearing loss
does not depend on the sound level but on the noise level and starts way before than the pain
level.
Many a one deceives himself by thinking that noise is something you can get accustomed to.
Nothing is further form the truth!
The reason why some people have got accustomed to a certain noise level and are no longer
disturbed, is that they have already suffered hearing loss. The damage makes the hearing
insensitive to the frequencies forming the loudest part of the noise. Getting accustomed to noise
does not mean anything other than trying to get along with hearing loss in everyday life. Hearing
loss cannot be recovered and can only be compensated with hearing aids. Subjectively, hearing
loss feels like having dampened ears. This effect weakens with time but loss in hearing sensitivity
is permanent.
In order to relax your hearing sufficiently, the noise level should not exceed 70dB for 10 hours.
Higher noise levels during this relaxing period can prevent relaxation and promote permanent
hearing damage or hearing loss.
WARNING: Protect your ears if you want to prevent hearing damage!
7. Features
outstanding tone
original appearance and precise manufacturing
protection circuits
limiter to prevent speaker damage when the amplifier is overloaded
high audio frequency performance
amplifier-on time delay and amplifier-off mute protection protect the speaker from transients
8. Description
Refer to the illustrations on page 2 of this manual.
a. Front panel (fig. 1)
1. Power switch
To turn the unit ON or OFF, press this button. Before turning ON the amplifier check all
connections and turn down the level control. A momentary muting is normal when turning the
amplifier ON or OFF.
CAUTION: Always turn on your amplifier last, after all your other connected equipment, and
always turn OFF your power amplifier before your other connected equipment.
2. Power LED indicators
These LEDs illuminate when the power is turned ON.
3. Limit LED indicators
These LEDs illuminate if any section of the power amplifier’s input are within 3dB of clipping.
Occasional blinking of the LEDs are acceptable, but if they remain on more then intermittently
you should turn down the level on the amplifier or reduce the output level of the preceding
component to avoid audible distortion.
4. Signal LED indicators
These LEDs illuminate to confirm the presence of an input signal greater than 100mV at that
channel of the amplifier.

world and distributes its products in more than 85 countries.
All our products fulfil strict quality requirements and legal
stipulations in the EU. In order to ensure the quality, our products
regularly go through an extra quality check, both by an internal
quality department and by specialized external organisations. If, all
precautionary measures notwithstanding, problems should occur,
please make appeal to our warranty (see guarantee conditions).
General Warranty Conditions Concerning Consumer
Products (for EU):
• All consumer products are subject to a 24-month warranty on
production flaws and defective material as from the original date of
purchase.
• Velleman® can decide to replace an article with an equivalent
article, or to refund the retail value totally or partially when the
complaint is valid and a free repair or replacement of the article is
impossible, or if the expenses are out of proportion.
You will be delivered a replacing article or a refund at the value of
100% of the purchase price in case of a flaw occurred in the first
year after the date of purchase and delivery, or a replacing article
at 50% of the purchase price or a refund at the value of 50% of
the retail value in case of a flaw occurred in the second year after
the date of purchase and delivery.
• Not covered by warranty:
- all direct or indirect damage caused after delivery to the article
(e.g. by oxidation, shocks, falls, dust, dirt, humidity...), and by the
article, as well as its contents (e.g. data loss), compensation for
loss of profits;
- frequently replaced consumable goods, parts or accessories such
as batteries, lamps, rubber parts, drive belts... (unlimited list);
- flaws resulting from fire, water damage, lightning, accident,
natural disaster, etc. …;
- flaws caused deliberately, negligently or resulting from improper
handling, negligent maintenance, abusive use or use contrary to
the manufacturer’s instructions;
- damage caused by a commercial, professional or collective use of
the article (the warranty validity will be reduced to six (6) months
when the article is used professionally);
- damage resulting from an inappropriate packing and shipping of
the article;
- all damage caused by modification, repair or alteration performed
by a third party without written permission by Velleman®.
• Articles to be repaired must be delivered to your Velleman®
dealer, solidly packed (preferably in the original packaging), and
be completed with the original receipt of purchase and a clear flaw
description.
• Hint: In order to save on cost and time, please reread the
manual and check if the flaw is caused by obvious causes prior to
presenting the article for repair. Note that returning a non-
defective article can also involve handling costs.
• Repairs occurring after warranty expiration are subject to
shipping costs.
• The above conditions are without prejudice to all commercial
warranties.
The above enumeration is subject to modification according
to the article (see article’s manual).
Velleman® service- en kwaliteitsgarantie
Velleman® heeft ruim 35 jaar ervaring in de elektronicawereld en
verdeelt in meer dan 85 landen.
Al onze producten beantwoorden aan strikte kwaliteitseisen en aan
de wettelijke bepalingen geldig in de EU. Om de kwaliteit te
waarborgen,
ondergaan onze producten op regelmatige tijdstippen een extra
kwaliteitscontrole, zowel door onze eigen kwaliteitsafdeling als
door externe gespecialiseerde organisaties. Mocht er ondanks deze
voorzorgen toch een probleem optreden, dan kunt u steeds een
beroep doen op onze waarborg (zie waarborgvoorwaarden).
Algemene waarborgvoorwaarden consumentengoederen
(voor Europese Unie):
• Op alle consumentengoederen geldt een garantieperiode van 24
maanden op productie- en materiaalfouten en dit vanaf de
oorspronkelijke aankoopdatum.
• Indien de klacht gegrond is en een gratis reparatie of vervanging
van een artikel onmogelijk is of indien de kosten hiervoor buiten
verhouding zijn, kan Velleman® beslissen het desbetreffende
artikel te vervangen door een gelijkwaardig artikel of de
aankoopsom van het artikel gedeeltelijk of volledig terug te
betalen. In dat geval krijgt u een vervangend product of
terugbetaling ter waarde van 100% van de aankoopsom bij
ontdekking van een gebrek tot één jaar na aankoop en levering, of
een vervangend product tegen 50% van de kostprijs of
terugbetaling van 50 % bij ontdekking na één jaar tot 2 jaar.
• Valt niet onder waarborg:
- alle rechtstreekse of onrechtstreekse schade na de levering
veroorzaakt aan het toestel (bv. door oxidatie, schokken, val, stof,
vuil, vocht...), en door het toestel, alsook zijn inhoud (bv. verlies
van data), vergoeding voor eventuele winstderving.
- verbruiksgoederen, onderdelen of hulpstukken die regelmatig
dienen te worden vervangen, zoals bv. batterijen, lampen,
rubberen onderdelen, aandrijfriemen... (onbeperkte lijst).
- defecten ten gevolge van brand, waterschade, bliksem,
ongevallen, natuurrampen, enz.
- defecten veroorzaakt door opzet, nalatigheid of door een
onoordeelkundige behandeling, slecht onderhoud of abnormaal
gebruik of gebruik van het toestel strijdig met de voorschriften van
de fabrikant.
- schade ten gevolge van een commercieel, professioneel of
collectief gebruik van het apparaat (bij professioneel gebruik wordt
de garantieperiode herleid tot 6 maand).
- schade veroorzaakt door onvoldoende bescherming bij transport
van het apparaat.
- alle schade door wijzigingen, reparaties of modificaties
uitgevoerd door derden zonder toestemming van Velleman®.
• Toestellen dienen ter reparatie aangeboden te worden bij uw
Velleman®-verdeler. Het toestel dient vergezeld te zijn van het
oorspronkelijke aankoopbewijs. Zorg voor een degelijke verpakking
(bij voorkeur de originele verpakking) en voeg een duidelijke
foutomschrijving bij.
• Tip: alvorens het toestel voor reparatie aan te bieden, kijk nog
eens na of er geen voor de hand liggende reden is waarom het
toestel niet naar behoren werkt (zie handleiding). Op deze wijze
kunt u kosten en tijd besparen. Denk eraan dat er ook voor niet-
defecte toestellen een kost voor controle aangerekend kan worden.
• Bij reparaties buiten de waarborgperiode zullen transportkosten
aangerekend worden.
• Elke commerciële garantie laat deze rechten onverminderd.
Bovenstaande opsomming kan eventueel aangepast worden
naargelang de aard van het product (zie handleiding van het
betreffende product).
