Common Questions
32 totalWhat does the PROTECT LED indicate on the front panel?
The PROTECT LED lights up when all protection circuits are activated. This indicates the amplifier has triggered its built-in protection mechanisms. (Page 2)
What does the LIMITER LED mean when it lights up?
The LIMITER LED lights when compression/limiting is actively protecting the amplifier. This means the amplifier is reducing gain to prevent damage from excessive signal levels. (Page 2)
Is it safe to touch the output terminals while the amplifier is powered on?
No — touching uninsulated output channels or bare wiring while the power is on may result in an unpleasant sensation. You must not touch uninsulated output channels or bare wiring when the amplifier is powered on. (Page 2)
What is the maximum output power of the A4ti in bridge mode?
In bridge mode at 8 Ω, the A4ti delivers 1500 W x 2. This power figure is tested under the condition of a 20ms burst, 1kHz sine wave at 1% THD. (Page 4)
What is the frequency response of the A4ti amplifier?
The A4ti has a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz (+0/-1 dB). This specification may be subject to change without notice as dBTechnologies reserves the right to make design or manufacturing improvements. (Page 4)
What is included in the box when I purchase the A4ti amplifier?
The packing content includes the A4ti amplifier, a mains cable with a VDE connector, and quickstart and warranty documentation. No additional accessories are included in the box. (Page 2)

FIRST TURN ON
• Connect the passive loudspeakers, using cables with speakON connectors (2 outputs), depending on impedance, max rated power, amplifier mode, link mode. Select the amplifier MODE (7, 9) and LINK MODE (6).
• Connect the inputs, using balanced cables with XLR connectors (6-7 outputs). Select the inputs sensitivity.
• If needed, link the input LINK connector, to relaunch the signal to a second amplifier.
• Set the level knobs (10) to the minimum level.
• Connect the mains cable (socket 1), turn on the amplifier (12).
• Adjust the gain controls (8, 9), while the audio signal comes from your source.
The user can select the input sensitivity, the output mode of the amplifier and the link mode. The input sensitivity can be selected from (0.775 V, 1 V, 32 dB), depending on the charaterisctics of the source. The amplifier can operate in three different modes:
- brigde
- parallel
- stereo The LINK MODE (1 in 4 / 2 in 4) increase the possibilities in the usage. All the cases are explained in the upper referencetable.
