INTRODUCTION
Thank you for your purchase of the ROLLS RA200 Power Amplifier. The RA200 is
a stereo 100 Watt per channel MOSFET power amplifier. It bridges to 200 Watts
into eight ohms. It is intended for professional audio applications such as record-
ing studios and small live performances.
INSPECTION
1. Unpack and inspect the RA200 box and package.
If obvious physical damage is noticed, contact the carrier immediately to make a
damage claim. We suggest saving the shipping carton and packing materials for
safely transporting the unit in the future.
2. Please complete the Warranty Registration Card and return it to the factory.
INSTALLATION
Connect the power cord to an AC power source, connect the input to the signal
source and to the RA200 via the RCA or 1/4” input jacks. Speakers may be
connected by using the 1/4” output jacks, or the dual banana posts. Turn the
Volume controls fully counterclockwise (off), and turn on the power switch, the
power LED should light. With the program material running, slowly increase the
Volume controls until the desired level of sound is present. There is a one second
turn-on delay provided to prevent possible speaker damage in case all equipment
is on a signal power strip.

BRIDGING
To bridge the RA200, first ensure the power is off. Move the Bridging switch to the
“Bridge” position. The Channel 1 Volume control will be the master volume,
Channel two Volume is inactive.
Connect the input to Channel 1 input, then connect the load (speakers) to the two
positive (red) banana jacks. Make no connections to the black posts. The level
meters will both light, and the output power into 8 ohms is the sum of the LEDs
that light.
FAULT PROTECTION
The fault protection in the RA200 limits the current to the output stage in the
faulted channel and turns on all the LEDs in that channel. This mode is entered
whenever the output stage is called upon for too much power, it may also be
fooled by impedances lower than four ohms - which may cause the output stage
to overheat and burn up the MOSFETs.
Since the RA200 is convection cooled, the unit radiates heat from the rear panel
and , depending on the load demand, it may become very hot if drawn upon
heavily.
