INTRODUCTION The Hafler DH-500 is a two channel audio power amplifier designed to the very highest performance stan- dards. It is available as a kit, or factory assembled. Its power rating of 255 watts per channel is very conservative, and it can deliver appreciably higher powers into impe- dances below the rated 8 ohms. You must be very cautious i[...]

INSTALLATION The DH-500 may be installed out of sight in many appli- cations, where its power can be controlled by the AC switching of a preamplifier control unit. However, any high power amplifier may draw enormous amounts of cur- rent, so you should make sure your preamplifier has the switching capacity for the amplifier ’ s needs, as well as a[...]

If the manufacturer of your speakers recommends a specific fuse value for their protection, you should obtain 3AG type fuses of that value and substitute them for the ones supplied. The speaker fuses are included in the amplifier design solely for speaker protection. They do not protect, or affect, the amplifier ’ s operation. A blown speaker fus[...]

number of specialty speaker cables preferred by perfec- tionists. If you have 4 ohm speakers, larger wire is recom- mended than for the typical 8 ohm speakers, too. The black output terminals are connected to ground in- ternally. The black terminals may be connected together (common ground) when in the normal stereo mode, to utilize headphone junct[...]

4. Allow the connection to cool undisturbed. Remember that the connection is made by the solder, not by mechanically attaching the wire to the terminal. Usually the wire is looped through the lug and crimped in place, but some prefer to just place it through the hole and rely on the stiffness of the wire to hold it while soldering. Eyelet connectio[...]

MECHANICAL ASSEMBLY 1 0 For security in shipping, the power transformer and the amplifier module have been fastened to the chassis. Remove the chassis cover, the inner front panel and the larger front plate, and set these aside. Be particularly careful in handling the amplifier module. to see that the leads of the upright compo- nents on the circui[...]

There are two gauges of wire supplied with the kit. For While excessive heat or careless “ scrubbing ” with the iron connections which pass substantial current, the heavier can lift the circuit foil from the board, more people tend to wire is used. Other connections need only the lighter gauge use insufficient heat, making it difficult for the [...]

80 0 Select the triad of black, red and yellow wires from under the module. These will be connected to the right end of the terminal strip, and to prevent the heat from the large resistors from melting the insu- lation on the wires, connect the wires from behind the terminal strip and keep them against the chas- sis, so the resistors will be above [...]

The DH-500 Power Amplifier has been carefully en- gineered to provide many years of use without requiring any maintenance or servicing. Factory assembled units are subjected to many physical and electrical tests before shipment. The amplifier module assemblies of kit units are similarly tested to meet perfor- mance specifications prior to packing. [...]
