INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Stereo or Mono Inputs
Connecting to standard AC power
MONO OPERATION
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.
After making all other connections, set the POWER switch
to OFF position. Then connect the power cord to a standard
AC outlet.
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.

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.

Turning the amplifier on
1. Turn on the audio input source equipment which is
connected to the amplifier INPUT jacks.
• Speakers connected to different channels are NOT part
of a pair, and can be of different impedances.
Input connections
GROUND
These amplifiers accept a broad range of input sources,
including Compact Disc (CD) players; 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.
2. Set the amplifier’s Channel A and Channel B output level
gain controls to the minimum level settings.

USE
CHANNEL A
INPUT ONLY
Connecting a CD or tape player or tuner
In a normal installation, one would use the RCA JACKS for
connecting a CD player, tape player or tuner.
3. Push in the power switch to turn the amplifier on.
NOTE: Use 16-gauge speaker wire for lengths up to25
feet; 14-gauge wire for lengths over 25 feet. It is
recommended that you use the shortest length of wire
possible.
CAUTION! Do not use
balanced and unbalanced
inputs simultaneously!!

NOTE: Most speaker terminals are either color-coded

Usually positive terminals are red or have a plus symbol
(+), and negative terminals are black or have a minus
symbol (-).
PT-3200: 600 watts
PT-4000: 800 watts
use RCA jacks
Using the Left and Right 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 (A/B) terminals and
negative (-) to red speakers right (A/B) terminals.
CD PLAYER, TAPE PLAYER
OR TUNER
3. Connect the speaker wires to the amplifier's left and
right speaker terminals according to the terminal color
polarity.
The speaker right (+) on the amplifier is used as a negative (-)
terminal for a bridged connection.
CAUTION: It is possible to overdrive the amplifier by
setting output level gain too high, which may cause
damage or failure.
Connecting an equalizer or external signal processor
Connect the processor’s OUT to the amplifier’s INPUT
connectors.
NOTE: The extra amplifier output of 6.35mm phone
jacks can not be used for the bridged connection. It can only
be used in normal (non-bridged) operation as a stereo speaker
output.
