 3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
TOA's DA-550F Multichannel Power Amplifier features high power handling of 550 W x 4 channels (4 Ω
output) or 350 W x 4 channels (8 Ω output) and durability. TOA's DA-500F-HL Multichannel Power Amplifier
features high power handling of 500 W (70 V line) x 4 channels (9.8 Ω output), or 550 W x 4 channels (8 Ω
output), or 100 W x 4 channels (4 Ω output) and durability.
Channels 1 and 2, and 3 and 4 are made available for bridge connection individually, allowing the DA-550F to
be used as a 1,100 W (8 Ω) X 2 channels amplifier, or the DA-500F-HL as a 1,000 W (140 V line) x 2
channels (19.6 Ω) amplifier or 1,100 W x 2 channels (16 Ω) amplifier. When a bridge connection is made,
each model can be used as a 2-channel stereo amplifier or as a 3-channel amplifier.
Their wide range of applications include stores and permanent sound systems.

4. FEATURES
• 2U rack mounting size*.
• Low power consumption and light weight.
• An input signal to Channel 1 can be routed to all channels, and the output level adjusted using the input level
control for each channel.
• Electronically-balanced inputs.
• Input terminals employ removable terminal blocks and XLR type connectors to provide maximum connection
ease.
• Equipped with the LED indicators that show the input/output status, etc.
• Built-in protection circuitry disconnects the power amplifier's output from the load when a short circuit,
overload, or unusual temperature rise occurs.
• Equipped with the terminals used for internal information monitoring (power supply, protection status, and
fan operation) and power ON/OFF control from external equipment.

* 1U size = 44.5 mm or 1.75" (reference size)

5. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
• Keep the input cable away from the output cable. If installed close to each other, oscillation could occur.
• To avoid unit failures, never connect outputs of 2 or more channels in parallel.
• Only connect speakers with an impedance equal to or greater than those specified. Connecting speakers
with a smaller impedance than specified could cause damage to the unit.
• Periodically clean the filter located inside the ventilation panel on the unit's front panel. If the filter becomes
clogged, heat will become trapped inside the enclosure.
• Install the unit in locations where the temperature is between –10°C and +40°C (14°F and 104°F) and the
moisture is less than 90%RH (no dew condensation must be formed).
• To clean, be sure to first turn off this unit's power switch, then wipe with a dry cloth. When the unit gets very
dirty, use a cloth damped in a neutral cleanser. Never use benzene, thinner, alcohol, or chemically-treated
cleaning cloth because such volatile liquids could deform or discolor the unit.
• The fan is a consumable product. As a guideline, we recommend that it be replaced with a new one when its
total operating time reaches approximately 50000 hours (when used in ambient temperatures of
approximately 25°C or 77°F).
Note: The above figure is simply a guideline, and does not guarantee the fan’s operating life. Since
broadcasts from the digital power amplifier could be disabled if the fan malfunctions, the fan requires
regular inspection and maintenance. For maintenance service, please contact the dealer from whom
the digital amplifier was purchased.

6. INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

Rack mounting screws are not supplied with the unit.

Be sure to use the screws with a diameter of over 5 mm (0.2") and
CAUTION length of over 12 mm (0.47") to mount the unit.
Failure to do so may cause personal injury.

• When mounting the unit in an equipment rack, the inside of the rack must be sufficiently ventilated.
To achieve sufficient ventilation, remove all panels on the rear of the rack.
• When mounting the unit in the rack, also mount a Perforated Panel larger than 1U in size*:
(1) at the top and the bottom of the rack, and
(2) above and below every 5 units.

 16. HOW TO USE THE CONTROL/MONITOR TERMINALS
The Control/Monitor terminals on the rear panel permit power ON/OFF control of the individual channels and
monitoring for the power ON/OFF status and protection status on each channel, and fan operation status.
Prepare the control panel and status monitor display panel separately referring to the descriptions below.

Note
All terminals are electrically isolated from the unit body with the photocouplers.

16.1. Control Terminal (Input)

While the unit's power switch is turned ON, each individual channel's power can be turned ON and OFF from
the distant location using this terminal. The power indicator extinguishes only when the all channels' powers
are turned off, but otherwise remains lit.
Using the power supply, which you need to prepare separately, perform the control by applying DC voltage to
the control terminal.
This terminal is a photocoupler input, and requires max. 8 mA per control. Note the power capacity of the
power supply.

Control voltages are as follows.

Terminal pin No.
Control voltage (Vin) Power ON/OFF status on each channel
Pin 1 or 4
0 – 3 V DC ON External DC power
Vin (Max. 14 V DC)
9 – 14 V DC OFF Pin 7

When controlling the control terminal with a power supply of 14 V DC or more, connect the specified
resistance referring to the table below.
Note: The use of the resistance other than those specified may cause unit failure.

Control voltage (Vin) R1 resistance value (rated power) Terminal pin No.
R1
14 V to under 20 V DC 1 kΩ (0.1 W or more) Pin 1 or 4 External DC power
20 V to under 30 V DC 3.3 kΩ (0.25 W or more) Vin (Max. 50 V DC)
30 V to under 50 V DC 5.6 kΩ (0.5 W or more) Pin 7

16.2. Monitor Terminal (Output)

Indicators on the externally-connected device (status monitor display panel) or relays can be turned on and off
in response to the power ON/OFF status, protection status, and fan operation status from the distant location
using this terminal.
This monitor terminal is a photocoupler open-collector output terminal. Note that it is rated at withstand
voltages of 30 V DC and control current of 12 mA or less when ON.
At the time of circuit design, consider the control current assuming that 1 V appears at the monitor terminal
when ON.

[Example of a circuit]

When an LED is used When a relay is used

Control current: External DC power Control current: External DC power

12 mA or less (Max. 30 V DC) 12 mA or less (Max. 30 V DC)

Terminal pin No. Terminal pin No.

Pin 2, 3, 5, 6, or 8 Pin 2, 3, 5, 6, or 8
Pin 7 Pin 7
Note
Be sure to connect a diode across the relay in the direction
as shown above when connecting to the external relay.

20
16.3. About Pin 7 of the Control/Monitor Terminals
A ground common to all the control and monitor terminals is assigned to Pin 7.
Both Pins 7 of the Control/Monitor terminal for CH1 and CH2, and that for CH 3 and CH4 are internally
connected to each other.
Pins 7 are isolated from the unit body.
