VORTEXS I LV E R SE R I ESUSER MANUALVORTEX SILVER SERIES V8P.82.1 UnpackingPlease unpack and inspect your new amplifier for any damage that mayhave occurred during transit. If damage is found, notify the transportationcompany immediately. Only you as the consignee may initiate a claim forshipping damage. CAMCO will be happy to cooperate fully as needed.Please save the shipping carton as evidence of damage for the shipper’sinspection.Even if the amplifier has arrived in perfect condition, save all packing ma-terials for any future transport of the unit.When shipping the V8 amplifier, always use the original shipping cartonand packing materials. For maximum protection, repack the unit as it wasoriginally packed at the factory.NOTE: Never ship the amplifier without the original packaging materials.2.2 The AmplifierThe V8 amplifiers offer a power output of:4900 W peak per channel @ 4 Ω5300 W peak per channel @ 2 Ω10600 W peak in Mono Bridge @ 4 Ω10600 W peak in Parallel Mono @ 1 ΩUsing a bipolar class H high efficiency power amplifier output stage. Fora complete overview of rated power data please refer to chapter 8 Speci-fications.The V8 power amplifier is fitted with Dual Voltage Switched Mode PowerSupply (SMPS) with automatic voltage range selection for 120 V / 230 Voperation, which significantly reduces the weight and size (only 2U) of theamplifier. Using SMPS, the seamlessly regulated symmetrical supply volt-ages of the power amplifier are more stable and efficient than the powersupplies used in conventional amplifiers.The V8 also uses a microprocessor for controlling and monitoring thepower amp. This has five main advantages over more traditional poweramp systems:1. Integrated Remote Control2. Extreme fast and accurate monitoring of all amplifier parameters3. Fast detection of failures4. Very fast triggering of protection features5. Very detailed indication of failures on the displayThe V8 has been designed as an intelligent and powerful amplifier for per-forming specialised tasks within a complex audio system. Users can adaptthe power amp to meet their specific audio requirements before use. Thedisplay mounted on the front of the V8 amplifier allow the different func-tions to be accessed. Since there are a lot of parameters available, it is im-portant that users should familiarize themselves thoroughly with the entirerange of settings and programmable features before using the power amp.If you have any questions regarding features and/or functions of your V8amplifier, CAMCO will be pleased to provide you with further information.Alternatively, contact your dealer or distributor.2 THE AMPLIFIER
