1.1.2 Initial operation
Please make sure the unit is provided with sufficient ventilation,
and never place your EUROPOWER amp on top of other heat-
emanating equipment or in the vicinity of a heater to avoid the risk
of overheating.

and a standard IEC receptacle. It meets all international safety

2. CONTROL ELEMENTS
Since control elements of both the EP1500 and the EP2500 are identical, we have used the EP1500 as the model represented in the
illustrations to assure simplicity.
2.1 Front panel
Fig. 2.1: Front panel control elements
The main switch is used to power up the amp.
+ Please take note: Merely switching the unit off does
not mean that it is fully disconnected from the
mains. When not using the unit for prolonged
periods of time, please unplug the units power cord
from the power outlet.
Ventilation openings are located at the front of the unit, so
that hot air is prevented from being trapped inside the unit,
thus causing faulty operation or even damage.
The CLIP LED lights up when the signal is distorted. Should
distortion occur, reduce the input level, so that the CLIP
LED stops lighting up.
The SIGNAL LED lights up as long as a signal is present
at the input.
The GAIN control (channels 1 and 2) is used for setting
up the input gain.
The POWER LED lights up as soon as the unit is powered
up.
