We are sure it will give you many years of satisfying performance. EV power amplifiers of the PRECISION SERIES meet the stringent requirements of tough touring applications. They are protected against over-temperature, overload, shorted outputs, radio frequency interference and DC faults. The power transistors are protected from damage from reverse feeding of electrical energy by means of an additional special protective circuit. For the so-called soft-start, the power outputs are switched on delayed via relays. An inrush current limiter circuit prevents the mains fuses from being blown. Maximum precision is also guaranteed as regards mechanical construction and finish. The robust steel chassis features remarkable torsion resistance and is specially designed to cope with the tough wear and tear associated with going on tour. Thermal stability is guaranteed by several low noise 3-stage fans which also means that they can be used inside the studio. Comparator circuits constantly compare the power amplifiers’ input and output signal and control the limiters under non-linear operating conditions. They protect the loudspeakers from overload due to power stage clipping. The PRECISION SERIES power amplifiers feature excellent transmission properties. The power amplifier topology also makes for extremely low distortion rates. Distortion factor (THD), intermodulation distortion (SMPTE-IM) and transient intermodulation distortion (DIM 30 and DIM 100) are so low that they are only detectable with the most sophisticated measuring equipment. Generously dimensioned power supplies with low-leakage toroidal-core transformers provide considerable headroom well above the nominal ratings. V/l foldback limiter circuits were deliberately not included in the PRECISION SERIES power amplifiers to facilitate operation at complex loads up to a phase angle of +/- 90°. The inputs are electronically balanced on XLR connectors. (Isolation transformers can be retrofitted). Direct Outs in the form of XLR connectors (male), to loop the signal through, are also standard features. The modes DUAL/Stereo or PARALLEL/Mono can be selected via the Input Routing Switch. Furthermore, the PRECISION SERIES power amplifiers can also be operated in "Mono Bridged" mode. The front panel accommodates the dB-calibrated input Gain controls which are designed as especially precise and safe-to-operate detented potentiometers. The LED display provides information about the power amplifers' operating status. Forthetwo channels, they demonstrate readiness to operate, whether there is a signal at the input or output, when the Limiters have been activated and whether one of the protective features has been triggered. The power outputs Channel A, Channel B and Bridged Out are available on Speakon connectors. The rear side of the unit accommodates the ON/OFF switches for the integrated Hi and Lo cut filters, a groundlift switch which separates the housing from the circuit ground thus helping to prevent hum loops and the operating modes selector to mono bridged operation. They also feature extremely quiet fans with front-to-rear airflow, facilitating operation in large and narrow amplifier racks. This Owner's Manual is meant to help you familiarize yourself with all the PRECISION SERIES’ other features. Please read it through carefully and we guarantee that your new power amplifier of the PRECISION SERIES from EV will give you great pleasure. 3 # IIUIVI r ni VL.L. 1 i-'-1 2 3 4 5 8 o jÜj .-I-4 . awtc. a avwc. • ev P1200 “<• ° ° ° ° ° .

In order to avoid distortion in mixing consoles upstream, these controls should normally be positioned between 0 dB and -6 dB. The calibrated markings show the additional attenuation directly. 2. Power ON indication This LED lights up when the mains switch is pressed. If it does not light up, the unit is not connected to the mains or the mains fuse has blown. 3. Input indication This LED ligr'is up if a signal is present at the power amplifier input. The indicator does not light up when the input controls are turned down completely. 4. Output indication This LED lights up if a signal is present at the power amplifier output. The indicator goes off when the speaker line has shorted or a protective circuit has been activated thus indicating that there is no signal at the speaker output terminals. 5. LIMIT This LED lights up if the limiter has been activated and the power amplifier is being operated at the clip level. If the LED flashes briefly, this is nor a cause for concern. If this LED is lit permanently, the volume should be reduced to avoid overload damages to the connected loudspeaker systems. 6.
