4. During normal home operation the internal heatsinks of the GFA 5400 may become warm However there are instances during high level playback into low impedance when the heatsinks will become much warmer than usual To ensure the amplifier s long term trouble free operation it is necessary to provide adequate ventilation for the heatsinks Therefore the GFA 5400 should be kept away from external sources of heat such as radiators and hot air ducts The GFA 5400 should never be placed with other heat producing components in a cabinet or enclosure lacking free airflow If you require that the GFA 5400 be mounted in an enclosed cabinet it is recommended that the rear panel of the cabinet be provided with ventilation openings at the top and bottom to allow air to circulate freely in the cabinet The top and bottom panels of the amplifier s chassis have been provided with vents to allow the necessary cooling of the internal components It is imperative that these vents are not obstructed in any way We recommend that you do not stack other components on top of the GFA 5400 This is particularly important if your system includes low impedance loudspeakers that are difficult to drive or if you will consistently demand high volume levels from the amplifier and speaker system Heat generated by the amplifier will not only affect the performance of equipment stacked on top of the GFA 5400 but the free flow of air through the ventilating slots in the amplifier may be p
5. amplifier noise when used with a source component of low output impedance such as an ADCOM preamplifier or tuner preamplifier To preserve the correct stereo image please be certain to connect the left output of the preamplifier or tuner preamplifier to the RCA jack on the GFA 5400 labeled LEFT INPUT and the right output of the source component to the RIGHT INPUT jack RIGHT LEFT OUTPUT The GFA 5400 is polarity correct and does not invert phase That is any positive going signal at its input will appear WARNING Whenever connections to or from the GFA 5400 are being made be certain that the AC on off switch of the amplifier is in the off position the AC cord of the amplifier is disconnected from the AC wall outlet and that all associated components are turned off as a positive going signal at its output The GFA 5400 s connections to the loudspeakers are made through two high quality five way gold plated binding posts located on the rear panel These terminals will accommodate bare wire tinned wire terminal pins spade lugs or banana plugs both single and dual These output terminals are color coded RED and BLACK to indicate polarity To ensure correct stereo phasing you must connect the RED output terminal labeled to the loudspeaker input terminal color coded RED or labeled POSITIVE POS 8 OHMS or 4 OHMS The BLACK binding post terminal on the amplifier labeled should be connected to the loudspeaker inp
6. tightened in a clockwise direction Additionally when connecting the cables to the amplifier and loudspeakers it is important that you tin the wires with good quality electronic solder in order to minimize contact resistance Tinning prevents the buildup of surface compounds which can form on copper wire and increase its contact resistance If you prefer to use other methods of connection unscrew the insulated head of the binding post until the hole in the binding post stud is accessible You can then insert the bare or tinned wire or terminal pin through the hole You can also use the many variety of spade lugs available by simply placing the tines of the spade lug onto the binding post stud Turn the insulated head of the binding post clockwise until the wire or connector is firmly secured Finger pressure is sufficient and you should not use pliers or other tools which could damage or over tighten the binding post assembly The binding post has been designed in such a way that finger pressure is all that is required to cause a pinching action among the different metal surfaces to ensure proper connection All loudspeakers having nominal impedance down to 4 ohms can be connected to and driven by the GFA 5400 The amplifier can drive these low impedance at more than adequate power levels with no difficulty It should be noted here that many loudspeaker systems which are nominally rated at 4 ohms in actuality drop in impedance in some areas
7. 7 X expose this equipment to rain or moistur _ 9 GFA 5400 Rear Panel Diagram Generally speaking when making connections to the loudspeakers from the amplifier it is very important to use the correct type and size of wire in order to avoid unnecessary loss of amplifier power in the cable reduction of amplifier damping factor and other undesirable conditions For runs up to twelve feet ordinary zip or lamp cord made up of AWG18 stranded wire and available in a variety of insulation colors may be used For runs up to forty feet AWG16 stranded wire should be used as a minimum to prevent power losses For lengths over forty feet and not exceeding sixty feet use at least AWG14 stranded wire Runs exceeding sixty feet require the use of heavier conductors such as AWG12 There are several different ways to connect the wiring to the RIGHT and LEFT OUTPUTS The methods used will depend on the specific type of connectors supplied with the loudspeakers the speaker cables etc As a matter of course we prefer the use of banana plugs generally it is the most secure method of connection Also the springs of the banana plugs create a self cleaning action which ensures the best contact between the binding posts and the connectors themselves There are sockets provided in the center of the binding posts studs which permit secure seating of the banana plugs Before inserting the banana plug into the binding post ensure the binding post is securely hand
8. LEDs will light when distortion reaches 1 regardless of impedance voltage current phase angle or the reactance of the loudspeakers which the amplifier is driving Sometimes when the amplifier is in use the LEDs may occasionally flicker during high volume listening particularly if you are driving low impedance loads This flickering is no cause for concern The LEDs are simply warning you that the amplifier is approaching its maximum power output into the particular loudspeakers you are using If however the INSTANTANEOUS DISTORTION ALERT LEDs glow brightly or are illuminated most of the time during playback you are overdriving the amplifier and should turn down your volume control to reduce the listening level If not excessive level may cause the THERMAL PROTECTION to be activated or in extreme cases damage your loudspeakers THERMAL PROTECTION LEDs The GFA 5400 is provided with a thermal protection circuit which will shut down the amplifier if either heatsink s temperature reaches 85 C The THERMAL PROTECTION LEDs will light whenever the thermal protection circuit on its respective channel has been triggered and the amplifier is inoperative The thermal protection circuitry will typically be triggered by very high power demands into impedance much lower than the amplifier is capable of driving at those levels If either amplifier channel s output through the loudspeaker s ceases abruptly and one or both of the THERMAL PROTECTION LEDs glow
