The “CSA-2” amplifier is equipped with a built-in 150Hz High Pass crossover network allowing you limit

The gain sensitivity control for the “CSA” amplifier is located on the side panel. This
gain control has been included to allow adjustment to properly match the output of
the radio. This is one of the most misunderstood adjustments. By rotating the control
in the clockwise direction, the amplifier‘s input will become more sensitive and the
music will play louder.

This is not a volume control and you will not get more power out of the amplifier in the maximum position! It
may seem to deliver more output, but actually the system is only playing louder faster as you turn the volume
control on the radio. Ideally, to properly level match the system the goal is to achieve maximum output from
the amplifier without distortion at about 3/4 of the volume control.

To determine if the amplifier’s gain is set properly, turn the system on and slowly increase the volume
control. You should be able to use about 3/4 volume before the system gets loud but not distorting. It is very
important when making these adjustments that you do not over drive the speakers (at point of distortion)
this will cause permanent damage to the speakers. If you are unable to achieve 3/4 volume before distortion
you will need to adjust gain control (in this case you would reduce the gain). The gain controls should be
adjusted very slowly. It may help to have another person to assist you by adjusting the gain controls while
you listen for distortion.
