How to Install Electro-Voice PA2250T Amplifier
- Position the amplifier in a well-ventilated area within a standard 19" equipment rack, ensuring adequate clearance for air intake and exhaust.
- Secure the unit to the rack rails with appropriate hardware to prevent movement during operation or transport.
- Connect the AC power supply to a properly rated outlet or circuit per local electrical codes, taking care to avoid overloading the circuit.
- Route the audio input from your mixer or processor to the amplifier’s balanced input connections using shielded cables to minimize hum and noise.
- Connect your loudspeakers to the amplifier outputs with appropriate speaker cables, matching impedance recommendations for each channel to avoid under- or over-loading the amplifier.
- Power up the system and set preliminary input and channel level controls to conservative positions to prevent sudden loud signals during initial power-on.
- Gradually bring up the channel gains while monitoring level indicators and listening for clean, undistorted sound. Make any necessary adjustments to balance stereo imaging or multiple zones as required by the installation.
- Verify protection indicators during operation; if a fault is indicated, power down and troubleshoot wiring, speaker loads, or input signals before resuming.
