Switch on the amplifier last and switch it off first. Disconnect from the mains when not in use or when
maintenance activities are performed. Handle the power cable by the plug only.
Keep power cables away from signal cables to avoid interference.
Save this user manual for further reference.

5. Notes
Rack installation
This amplifier can be mounted in a 19” (483mm) rack that allows access to front and rear panel. Make
sure to leave enough space around the device for sufficient ventilation. Note that when mounting in a
rack, the heaviest devices should be mounted closest to the bottom.
Also note that it is not enough to mount the amplifier with 4 screws on the front; the rear must also be
attached to the side bars of the rack.
Input cables
Using short cables will improve sound quality as high frequencies are absorbed by the cable. Longer
cables may also lead to humming and noise problems. If you do need longer cables, only use balanced
cables.
Output cables
The high damping factor of the amplifier produces a clear sound reproduction. Long and thin cables will
influence this damping factor and thus the low frequencies in a negative way. To maintain good sound
quality, the damping factor should be around 50. When long cables are unavoidable, make sure they
are thick enough.
Speakers
Connect your speakers using the Speakon
®
or screw outputs. Connect the red terminator with the
positive wire and the black terminator with the negative wire.
Ground lift switch
This switch allows the signal ground or chassis ground to be separated in case of a ground conflict. For
safety reasons it is recommended to keep the switch in the GND FLOATING position unless ground
problems are experienced.

6. Troubleshooting
The amplifier stops working.
Turn the volume knobs of both channels to zero, switch off the amplifier and disconnect from the
mains. Check the front panel, the fuse and all input and output connections. Replace the fuse with a
fuse of the same type and ratings.
No sound when power LED is switched off.
The power supply is not connected or the amplifier has a blown fuse. Check the power connections
and switches, or replace the fuse located below the power input.
No sound when power LED is switched on.
No or low input, or faulty speakers. Check if the input is connected and if the LED shows the
presence of a signal. Gently increase the volume level and check the speakers and speaker
connections.
Hum or buzz.
Power supply noise is picked up in the signal path or earth problem. Only use good quality, shielded
signal cables and ensure they are kept away from the power cables and other AC-powered
equipment. Use a mains tester to ensure the mains outlet has a good earth.
Distorted sound.
There is an excessive signal level or damaged signal cables. Check the LED to ensure the input level
to the amp is at the correct level. Only use good quality, shielded signal cables and protect them
from damage.
Sound cuts out.
The signal cables are damaged or the connectors are not properly inserted. Check all cables and
connections.
Protect LED on
Check if the amplifier is not overheated. Clean ventilation openings when necessary.
Check whether the connected speakers have the appropriate impedance. If not, connect speakers
with sufficient impedance. Also verify that the speakers are not short-circuited. Inspect the wiring.
Inputs receive DC voltage or another technical fault condition has occurred. Switch off the amplifier
and contact your local dealer for servicing.
7. Maintenance
Regularly wipe the amplifier with a moist, lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents.
Ensure that liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through the ventilation openings.
Contact your HQPower™ dealer if your amplifier needs servicing.

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).
