Unpacking
Although your PA-935N is neither complicated nor difficult to operate, we recommend you to take a few
minutes to read this brief manual and familiarize yourself with the important information regarding product
features, setup and operation.

As with most electronic devices, we strongly recommend you retain the original packaging. In the unlikely event
the product must be returned for servicing, the original packaging (or reasonable equivalent) is required.

Installation
Environment
Never place this product in an environment which could alter its performance or reduce its service life. Such
environments usually include high levels of heat, dust, moisture, and vibration.

Important Safety Instructions

1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades
with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide
blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult
an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and
the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is
damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has
been dropped.

Connecting Speakers
Before connecting speakers to your PA-935N unit, be sure to disconnect the
AC power cable. Make certain that the total impedance should not be less than
the rated impedance indicated.

For 4Ω low-impedance speakers, connect in parallel, with the negative (-)

connectors to the COM terminal and the positive (+) connectors to the 4Ω terminal.
See Figure 2-1 below.

For 8Ω low-impedance speakers, connect in parallel, with the negative (-)

connectors to the COM terminal and the positive (+) connectors to the 8Ω terminal.
See Figure 2-2 below.

FOR 4Ω TERMINAL FOR 8Ω TERMINAL

(Figure 2-1) (Figure 2-2)

For high-voltage distributed systems, connect with matching transformer as per Figures 2-3 and 2-4 below.
Be certain that the total impedance does not equal less than the rated impedance.

FOR 70V TERMINAL FOR 100V TERMINAL

Be sure that total impedance is not less than rated impedance. Be sure that total impedance is not less than rated impedance.
