NORMS FOR CHECKING THE MPA POWER AMPLIFIER.

- Connect a charge of 4Ω in each output channel CH1 CH2, CH3 and CH4
- Put the SIGNAL INPUT button on CH4 MONO
- Put a 1 kHz 0dB signal in INPUT CH1
- Check that the 4 signal present and 4 clip led indicators are on.
- Check the movement of the buttons and that each one acts independently on its own
respective channel, at the same time check that the clip led indicator goes off when you go down
approximately 2dB. Leave them on maximum.

- Check the power of 230V at the mains

Vo = 13.6v at 4Ω W = 46.24
Vo = 16.7 at 8Ω W = 34.86

- Check that the range goes from 20Hz-20kHz.

- Put the button on 4 CH ST.

- Put a signal in through INPUT CH1 and CH2, CH3 and CH4 act as a stack-out.
- Check that there is a signal in each output and that the power is correct.

- Position 4CH QUAD.

- Check that each of the inputs CH1,CH2,CH3 and CH4 are independent and correspond to
their respective outputs. Also check that the leds of clip and SP act with their corresponding
input.

- Position 2CH BRIDGED ST.

- Put a charge of 8Ω in the red terminal of CH1-CH2 and do the same for CH3-CH4 ( see
diagram on amp for the correct connection)
- Check that only the buttons of CH1 affect the output formed by CH1-CH2 and the buttonof CH4
affects the output formed by CH3-CH4. The clips should act with their respective group. The
CH2 and CH3 buttons have no effect.

Vo = 28.3 8Ω W = 100

- Position 2 CH ST. + 1 CH BRIDGED

- Charge the CH1 and CH 2 outputs with 4 Ω and CH3-CH4 in the red terminals with 8Ω.
- Check that the buttons of CH1 and CH2 affect their respective outputs and that the group
CH3-CH4 acts with the CH4 button. The CH3 button has no effect.
- The powers will be the same as in previous cases.

STEREO at 4Ω Vo = 13.6 W = 46.24

MONO at 8Ω Vo = 28.3 W = 100

- Position 2CH ST.+1CH BRIDGED LOW.

- Put signal in INPUT CH1, CH2 of 150 Hz 0dB.
- It should act the same as in the previous case.

STEREO at 4Ω Vo = 13.6 CH1,CH2

MONO at 8Ω Vo = 19.6 CH3-CH4
 MPA280 QUALITY CONTROL.

We will use a mixer with unbalanced output and a nominal output level of 1V RMS as
the signal source for our tests.

Connect the mixer outputs to the power amplifier inputs. Plug the power amplifier to
mains (check that its specified voltage matches that of mains) and make sure that SP and the
power switch LEDs all light up . Turn up the amplifier output level until the CLIP LEDs light
up. Turn the output level back down and plug the loudspeakers.

Check the sound quality (no distorsions or noises). Check ATT action (ATT travel,
signal cut at their low end, no scratching or clicking noises and correct stereo channel
matching for each one). While the power amplifier is working shake it or throw it on a table to
make sure the output sound goes on playing correctly. Shortcircuit the power amplifier output
and check it goes back to normal operation when you stop shorcircuiting. Repeat the same
procedure for the other channel.
