1.6 Quick Start
Suggested connection is shown in figure 1-3. Before using PCB terminals to power the
board, please make sure the polarity is correct. ±75V, 15A supply is required.
FIGURE 1-3 CONNECTION SCHEMATIC

Note: Please observe the following steps to complete verification so as to ensure the
products are intact during transit.
1. Open the amplifier package and make sure the product is intact (No missing
or damaged components and no deformation.
2. Please observe the connection schematics when connecting the amplifier
board. Use a nearby sound source, such as MP3 or CD player to have a trial.
This amplifier board can be deemed as qualified if you can hear the sound
corresponding to that sound source
3. It’s suggested to make sure the polarity of the wires first and then connect the
audio cables, wires. Turn down the output to the lowest and then power the
board.

Chapter 2. Hardware Detail

2.1 Power Connection

To power the amplifier board, use jack J10, J11, J12. Pay attention to the polarity when
connecting power supply.
TABLE 2-1 POWER CONNECTION
Connector Mark Description
J10 + PCB terminal for the positive of power supply
Terminal
J11 GND Ground
Blocks
J12 - PCB terminal for the negative of power supply
TABLE 2-2 Recommended Supply Voltage
Voltage Limitations Current Requirement
±60 to ±80 V 15A

Note:
1. You’re suggested to use AWG16 power cord. The length of power cord must be
minimized. Increasing length of PSU cable is equal to increasing the distortion
for the amplifier at high output levels and low frequencies.
2. A pair of 75V 15A switching power supplies is recommended. The symmetrical
supplies must be applied and removed at the same time.
3. 20s interval is suggested before repower on to ensure that electricity from the
board can completely discharge. Or unexpected sharp POP will come up from
speaker.

2.2 Input Connections

You may use either the RCA connector J14 or terminal block J13 to input audio signal.

2.3 Output Connections

You can use PCB terminals J1 and J2 to connect speakers.

Note:
1. Never connect more than one group of speaker to the audio output
2. Refer to on-board descriptions for connection details.

2.4 Phase Setting and BTL connection

SW2 is used for setting output waveform – inverting or non-inverting. It’s for BTL output
of two amplifier boards.
TABLE 2-3 SW2 SETTING
K1 K2 Gain Status(dB)
ON ON -
OFF ON Inverting
ON OFF Non-inverting
OFF OFF -

Note:
1. Do not turn on K1 & K2 simultaneously; otherwise the U7 will be damaged.
2. Turning off both K1 & K2 makes the audio input disconnection.

2.5 LED Indicators

The LED indicator D4 is on when low side gate driver signal is present. It helps judging
whether the amp board works properly.

2.6 Gain Setting

You may also adjust the gain by setting the DIP switch SW1. The gain is factory pre-set
to low. This can prevent chip from permanent damage caused by overheat when input
signal amplitude is over range. On the other conditions of gain setting, it is
recommended that the output signal amplitude is no larger than the power supply
voltage once the input signal reaches the peak.
For example, the maximum amplitude of the input signal is no more than 887mV RMS
when power supply voltage is ±75V, load impedance is 2 ohm and the gain is set at
35.8 dB. The other circumstances can be referred to the input sensitivity from TABLE
3-1 ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS. Never adjust the gains when the amplifier is
working, or IRFB4227 will be damaged because of the instantaneous voltage. The
instantaneous energy will exceed the rated power of a speaker and damage it.

OFF OFF High

2.7 Notes
In order to protect amplifier board and extend its service lifetime, please read the
following warnings carefully since warranties will be voided if you do not observe the
following warnings:

AA-AB31411_Ver1.0_Page 4 © 2004-2012 Sure Electronics Inc

1 X 1500Watt Class-D Audio Amplifier Board- IRS2092
Warning 1:
Quality-related issues caused by potentiometers installed by buyers.
Warning 2:
In order to achieve a better sound quality, please use stable power supply since a bad or
unstable power supply may worsen the sound quality or even cripple the amplifier board.
Warning 3:
Never equip a pre-amplifier to the audio input since the amplifier itself has powerful
amplification ability and a high signal input will burn out the amplifier chip.
Warning 4:
In order to protect amplifier and speaker, please turn the volume output to the minimum
when hooking up the amplifier and you may readjust the volume when you are sure that
the amplifier is functioning properly.

Note:
1. Stresses beyond the listed maximum power supply voltage may cause the
permanent damage to components on board.
3. The input sensitivity values are calculated on the basis of 2 Ohm load.
4. Voltage protection is realized by monitoring the voltage of the positive power
supply. Under-voltage protection prevents unwanted audible noise output from
unstable PWM operation during power up and down. Over 60V operating
voltage is suggested, or components will work unstable.
5. Fan will function only after the temperature from heatsink is over 55℃.
6. Avoid physical contact with heatsink surfaces when operating the board.
7. The board can output 54.7VRMS (rated voltage @2ohm, 1500W) waveform
without distortion only when power by ±80V.
