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.

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  
or have a mark that indicates the terminal's polarity.  
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.

However, under excessive output conditions, the clip

occurs, you should simply reduce the output power level  
by rotating the Master Volume control counterclockwise.
