Insignia NS-A1200 Car Amplifier

Input LEVEL 
control
Adjust this control with a screwdriver to change the 
amplifier's input sensitivity. Input sensitivity is variable 
from 200 mV to 8 V. Clockwise increases sensitivity, 
and counter-clockwise decreases sensitivity. The 
amplifier can be driven to full power with a wide range 
of signal levels. A lower signal level will require 
increased sensitivity for full power. A higher signal 
level will require decreased sensitivity. Avoid setting 
the sensitivity lower than necessary, because doing 
so would introduce unwanted distortion.
SUBSONIC 
filter control
Adjust this control with a screwdriver to roll off all 
unwanted frequencies below 15 Hz~40 Hz. This will 
allow the amplifier to use that wasted power on the 
audible bandwidth.
LOW PASS 
filter control
Adjust this control with a screwdriver to set the 
low-pass frequency (50~150 Hz). The filter cuts off 
frequencies above the set point. In general, the 
selected frequency should closely match the resonant 
frequency of the speaker box. (The resonant 
frequency is the frequency below which sound cannot 
be reproduced by the speaker.)
BRIDGED 
MODE switch
Slide this switch to MASTER or SLAVE for a 
multiple-amplifier setup.
10 Speaker 
terminals
Make sure that the negative side of the voice coil is 
connected to the (-) terminal and the positive side of 
the voice coil is connected to the (+) terminal.
