Hi,
I have this on order, I don't need anywhere near 200W@8Ω, I'm going to run it with a lower voltage, say 24V but I'm not sure what to put on the input side for safety during testing, something that restricts it to a low volume, I'll be testing things before I start using a DSP (Camilla), my limited electronics knowledge would lead me to a resistor voltage divider or a potentiometer, what do you use?
On the output side do these amps just work with 2-8Ω then without having to change anything?
Sorry for the newbie questions.
Thanks.
Richard

You mean the normal solution that prevents mistakes and defective loudspeakers? That would be a volume potentiometer. Not only for testing, it always works out positive when you set volume to an acceptable setting and the source or user makes a mistake of sorts. Walking to the amplifier to control volume also helps you to work out and keep moving 🙂
This PCB helps to use an Alps RK27 logarithmic in 20 kOhm:

This one incudes the RK27:

The lower the impedance the better ... till a limit. 10 kOhm is not suitable for wimpy sources. 20 kOhm is always OK for normal equipment.
