WARNING: LISTEN CAREFULLY

Polk Audio amplifiers, loudspeakers and subwoofers are capable of playing at extremely high volume levels,

which could cause serious or permanent hearing damage. Polk Audio accepts no liability for hearing loss,

bodily injury or property damage resulting from the misuse of its products. Keep these guidelines in mind

and always use your own good judgment when controlling volume. For more about safe volume levels,

INTERNAL BRIDGING

Terminals that can be used in bridging mode are identified by the black boxes above each terminal.

In the PA D2000.2, the two black boxes work together to create an internally bridged hookup.

END PANEL LAYOUTS

PA D2000.2 Line Level Inputs/Outputs/Controls

1. Status LEDs (on top of amplifier): Power and Protection—Power will illuminate to indicate

the amplifier is on and operating normally; protection will illuminate if the amplifier shuts down

due to short circuit, DC offset, or overheating detected by onboard protection circuitry.

2. HPF, FULL, BPF Switch—Selects full range, high pass filter, or band-pass filter. The HPF setting

attenuates low frequencies and is used with mid-range speakers and tweeters. The FULL setting

does not attenuate any frequencies and is for full range speaker systems. The BPF setting allows

you to use both the high pass filter and low pass filter, and it is for use with mid-range drivers.

3. (a) Low-Pass Frequency Button—Sets the frequency of the crossover at a range of either

50Hz - 500Hz or, when FREQ x 10 is engaged, to 500Hz - 5000Hz.

(b) LPF Variable Control—Adjusts the low pass filter frequency to attenuate frequencies

above the setting on the control.

4. (a) High-Pass Frequency Button—Sets the frequency of the crossover at a range

of either 20Hz - 400Hz or, when FREQ x 10 is engaged, to 200Hz - 4000Hz.

(b) HPF Variable Control—Adjusts the high pass filter frequency to attenuate frequencies

below the setting on the control.

5. Level Control—Adjusts the gain of the left and right channels to match the output

voltage from your head unit.

6. Line Level Inputs—Accepts line level input from a head unit, preamplifier or, equalizer.

7. Line Level Outputs—Provides a full range signal for easy connection to additional amplifiers.
