How can the PA-10 be switched between stereo and mono mode?
The PA-10 can be easily switched from stereo mode to mono mode (Bridge-Tied-Load) by activating the BTL switch on the rear panel. In mono mode, the amplifier delivers up to 600W @ 4Ω per channel.
What inputs are available on the PA-10?
The PA-10 features both RCA (unbalanced) and XLR (balanced) inputs, making it compatible with a variety of audio sources.
Is it possible to use the PA-10 with both RCA and XLR inputs at the same time?
By default, a choice must be made between the RCA and XLR inputs via the BAL switch on the rear panel. With the optional MX-10 card, both inputs can be used simultaneously.
How can the damping factor of the PA-10 be adjusted?
The PA-10 offers an adjustable damping factor with two modes: High (250) and Low (25). This setting can be adjusted via the DF switch on the rear panel, depending on the characteristics of the connected speakers.

What speaker impedances can the PA-10 drive?
In stereo mode, the PA-10 delivers 75W @ 8Ω, 150W @ 4Ω and 300W @ 2Ω. In mono mode, it delivers 300W @ 8Ω and 600W @ 4Ω, making it suitable for a wide range of speaker impedances.
How is the PA-10 cooled during operation?
The PA-10 uses a solid steel chassis with thick aluminum panels that help dissipate heat and minimize RFI and EMI interference, without the use of active cooling.
Can the PA-10 be integrated into a multiroom audio system?
Yes, the PA-10 has an XLR stereo output that allows it to be daisy-chained for high-quality multi-room solutions. The automatic on/standby mode based on the received audio signal facilitates this integration.
