[. . . ] Because ZAPCO conceives, designs, and builds every product we sell ourselves, we and we alone determine our standards. Rather than chase the industry, we seek new ways to improve the finest products available. . . Our own. Our new chassis design, with changeable inserts, allows unparalleled cosmetic integration. It also allowed us to incorporate a number of performance enhancements into the new line along with the improved features. This gives optimum cooling for the power supply and the output devices and increases the mounting possibilities. The new chassis allows our circuit boards to be considerably wider, allowing more space between components and more copper on the board. The entire C2K line uses four layer boards with 2-Oz copper, instead of the industry standard two-layer/1 Oz board. Our newly redesigned power supplies with custom wound torroids give the C2K two channel amps up to 40% more power into one-ohm loads than previously possible. Since total value results from both performance and versatility, we have included all the features you would want in the new comps. We have even designed a few features you've probably never seen before. Please take the time to study the next few pages and become familiar with all the features and controls of your C2K amp. Then, grab your favorite disk, hit the volume, and experience the result of our passions for music and for sonic purity. We think you will agree that they are passions well worth indulging. 15 16 2 Channel Controls 1. Xover Range Select: Shows frequency ranges for internal range switch (13) and AUX range switch (6). Amp Function Selector: Configures the input to the internal amp for single channel bridged, stereo, or L&R sum mono (bass amp). Left and Right clip indicators: If they flash more than occasionally, there is too much gain on the amplifier, and the signal is being distorted. Speaker Connectors: Marked for two channels at 1-Ohm minimum or one channel at 2 Ohms Minimum. Aux Freq Range: Sets xover range for AUX out crossover [see range select (2)]. Crossover Function: Sets Aux crossover function to Hi, Low, or Full Range. Aux Out: Auxiliary output to provide conditioned signal for another amp. Input voltage selector: allows amp to be used with non-SimbiLinkTM systems if needed. Amp Gain: This should always be in the full off position and is used only to balance multi-amp systems. [. . . ] The microprocessor system in this amp will be the heart of our new systems as we move into the realm of full digital, from source to speaker output. Because the 9. 0XD is such an advanced piece of electronics, it requires its own very extensive owners manual. However, over the next few pages we've included enough information to give you a taste of the possibilities afforded by this remarkable new amp. When you're ready for the ultimate in car audio, ZAPCO has your product. 39 40 Class D Control Plate Features 1. [. . . ]
