manual abstract
from the ground up specifically for high performance car stereo systems When Only The Best Will Do INTRODUCTION You have purchased the finest car audio power amplifier available on the market. ORION amplifiers really do set new standards for performance and reliability. They are superbly crafted and precision calibrated. If you install cach amplifier properly with careful attention to all the details covered in this manual, you will be astonished with the quality of sound and you will have an audio system that you can be proud of and enjoy for many years. • All ORION amplifiers are built in the U.S.A. from the ground up specifically for tiigh performance car stereo systems. Car stereo systems are our only business. • All ORION amplifiers and accessories are manufactured to exacting military standards. Extensive testing and burn-in makes for super reliability in even the toughest situations. • Each amplifier contains a ±15 volt power supply which also services ORION accessories (“phantom power”). This ensures maximum dynamic performance from all accessories while maintaining optimum ground isolation to minimize potential engine noise. A POWER ON indicator light is included. • Variable input sensitivity (gain adjust) allows use with most radios and decks. • Optically isolated remote turn-on circuit isolates the radio or deck from the amplifier. • FET switched 40 dB audio attenuator reduces turn-on/turn-off '‘thump”. • Parallel RCA and DIN inputs provide considerable versatility for interconnections. • 6 Hz high pass filter eliminates dc offset. • A wide variety of accessories are available for flexibility in designing overall audio systems (refer to figure 7}.
