Stereo/Mono Switch
Lets you select conventional
stereo operation with a
stereo input signal or bridged
mono input mode.
Fan Cooling
Input Jacks
Cooling system is automatically activated
whenever amplifier is turned on. This forced
air cooling system rapidly exhausts interior
heat, reducing operating temperature and
aiding performance.
Let you connect a variety of audio
input sources via the balanced
(XLR/6.35mm phone jack
combinations) or unbalanced (RCA)
inputs.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Stereo or Mono Inputs
Your Pyle Pro amplifier can be operated in Stereo, Mono or
Bridged mode, depending on the input source. If the input
signal is mono, slide the Stereo/Mono/Bridged selector
switch to MONO and the signal will be routed through both
channels. If you wish to run the amplifier in bridged output
mode, slide the switch to Bridged.
Connecting the GND (Ground) screw terminal
Connecting a mixer or preamplifier may cause excessive
noise or hum in the amplifier output. To prevent this,
connect one end of a low-capacitance shielded wire to the
amplifier’s ground screw (on the rear panel). Then connect
the other end of this wire to the ground terminal on the
mixer or preamplifier enclosure.
Speaker connections
PREAMP OR MIXER
You can connect 4 Ohm, 8 Ohm or 16 Ohm speakers to
Channel 1 and/or Channel 2 of the amplifier. If you connect
two pairs of speakers, be sure to follow these guidelines:
• Speakers which are connected to the same channel are
part of a pair, and must be of the same impedance.
GROUND
SCREW
LOW CAPACITANCE SHIELDED WIRE
• Speakers connected to different channels are NOT part
of a pair, and can be of different impedances.
Input connections
These amplifiers accept a broad range of input sources,
including Compact Disc (CD) players; DVD, Cassette, Reel-
to-Reel or other tape players; Radio Tuners; Equalizers;
Signal Processors.
1. Prepare the speaker wire by removing about 1 inch of
insulation from the end of the speaker wire you intend to
connect to the amplifier. Then twist the exposed wire to
secure all the wire strands.
Connecting a CD or DVD or tape player or tuner
In a normal installation, one would use the RCA JACKS for
connecting a CD player, DVD, tape player or tuner.
2. Connect the speaker wires to the speaker's positive and
negative terminals.
CD PLAYER, DVD , TAPE PLAYER
OR TUNER
use RCA jacks
3. Connect the speaker wires to the amplifier's left and
right speaker terminals according to the terminal color
polarity.
Connecting an equalizer or external signal processor
Connect the processor’s OUT to the amplifier’s INPUT
connectors.

Mounting the amplifier
This amplifier is designed to accept standard rack mounting
installations. Two slots on each end of the front panel make
it suitable for such an installation.
CH 2

Tightly secure four mounting screws (not supplied) through
these fours slots and into your standard electronics equipment
rack.
Turning the amplifier on
1. Turn on the audio input source equipment which is
connected to the amplifier INPUT jacks.

2. Set the amplifier’s Channel 1 and Channel 2 output level
gain controls to the minimum level settings.

3. Push in the power switch to turn the amplifier on.
Using the power blue LED meters
The meter pointer position indicates the amplifier output
power. For ease of reading in dark environments, the meter
is illuminated.
Bridged Mode Operation
This amplifier can operate in a mono bridged output mode, if
your speakers can handle the following power output levels:
PZR3000:
3000 watts
Using the Channel 1 and Channel 2 Output Level controls
Rotate output level gain clockwise to increase, or counter-
clockwise to decrease the output power. To get the best
performance with the least sound distortion, always adjust
the output level gain so the meter's pointer does not
continuously exceed the extreme right of the meter's scale.
As shown in the diagram below, connect the speaker's positive
(+) to the amplifier's red speakers left (1/2) terminals and
negative (-) to red speakers right (1/2) terminals.
The speaker right (+) on the amplifier is used as a negative (-)
terminal for a bridged connection.
About the internal clip circuitry
Special clip circuitry incorporated into your Pyle Pro
amplifier’s design protects the amplifier and speaker system
from being damaged from overdriving power.
MONO BRIDGED OPERATION
SWITCH IN “BRIDGED” POSITION
Under normal conditions, the amplifier’s clip indicator will
flicker as the output power momentarily exceeds the level
as set by the output level gain selector.
However, under excessive output conditions, the clip
indicator lights remain on continuously, alerting you that
the special clip circuitry has become active. When this
occurs, you should simply reduce the output power level
by rotating the Master Volume control counterclockwise.
