PT1600 Amplifier PYE PRO AMPLIFIERS Serial # (if available) warranty registration card PT1200 Amplifier Owner's Manual TABLE OF CONTENTS Your new Pyle Pro PT Series P. A. Amplifier gives you the power and versatility you need in a professional sound system. The amplifier's wide frequency response makes it suitable for amplifying music or vocal program material. It can be used for live bands, office paging systems, public annoucement systems, or a variety of other installations. 1 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5 5 6 6 Features and controls, PT2000 and PT1600 Features and controls, PT1200 Installation Guidelines Input Connections Connecting a CD or tape player or tuner Connecting an additional CD sound source Connecting an equalizer or signal processor Connecting microphones Speaker connections Connector options Bridged Mode Operation Using headphones Connecting to AC power Mounting the amplifier Turning the amplifier on Using the power meter (PT2000 and PT1600 only) Using the meter range selector (PT2000 and PT1600 only) Using the left and right output level controls About the internal clip circuitry Using the A/B Speaker Selector Caring for your Pyle Pro Amplifier Replacing a fuse Specifications Limited warranty FEATURES AND CONTROLS Left and Right Power Meters Indicates the output signal level for each channel FRONT PANEL, PT1600 Meter Range Switch Controls the sensitivity of the power meter Clip Circuit and Indicator This special circuitry protects the amplifier and speaker system from being damaged by overdriving power levels. [. . . ] Connecting a CD or tape player or tuner In a normal installation, one would use the RCA JACKS for connecting a CD player, tape player or tuner Power On/Off Phone Jack Lets you connect a pair of stereo headphones for private listening or cueing (monitoring) sound prior to "airing" it. Left and Right Output Level Controls Lets you adjust the sound levels for each channel Speaker A/B Selector Switches Permits you to select speakers attached to terminal set A, set B or both. STEREO Speaker connections You can connect 4 Ohm, 8 Ohm or 16 Ohm speakers to Channel A and/or Channel B of the amplifier. If you connect two pairs of speakers, be sure to follow these guidelines: · Speakers which are connected to the same channel are part of a pair, and must be of the same impedance. · Speakers connected to different channels are NOT part of a pair, and can be of different impedances. Prepare the speaker wire by removing about 1 inch of insulation from the end of the speaker wire you intend to connect to the amplifier. Then twist the exposed wire to secure all the wire strands. NOTE: Use 18-gauge speaker wire for lengths up to 25 feet; 16-gauge wire for lengths over 25 feet. It is recommended that you use the shortest length of wire possible.

NOTE: Most speaker terminals are either color-coded or have a mark that indicates the terminal's polarity. Usually positive terminals are red or have a plus symbol (+), and negative terminals are black or have a minus symbol (-). Connect the speaker wires to the amplifier's left and right speaker terminals according to the terminal color polarity. R L 4 OHMS MIN. IMPEDANCE SPEAKERS MUST BE OF SAME IMPEDANCE!

When this occurs, you should simply reduce the output power level by rotating the Master Volume control counterclockwise. Using the A/B Speaker Selector Switch You can listen to speakers on set A or set B individually or simultaneously. Simply push in or out the desired speaker set to make your selection. CAUTION: If the impedance of your speakers is 4 ohms, do not use both the speaker A and speaker B terminal at the same time as the net impedance may be low enough to damage your amplifier!Caring for your Pyle Pro Amplifier Your Pyle Pro Amplifier is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your amplifier so you can enjoy years of use: · Keep the amplifier dry.

Push in the power switch to turn the amplifier on. Using the power meter (PT2000 and PT1600 only) The meter pointer position indicates the amplifier output power. For ease of reading in dark environments, the meter is illuminated. Using the meter range selector (PT2000 and PT1600 only) When output power is too strong, the meter's pointer might continuously swing to the extreme right and damage or reduce the accuracy of the meter. To protect the meter, you can use the meter range selector to control the amplifier's sensitivity to the input power signal. [. . . ]
