USE CAUTIONS

The Acoustat TNT-200 power amplifier is unique in its ability to maintain an exceptionally wide
bandwidth at high power levels (1 00 watts at 400K Hz). For this reason. the TNT-200 could amplify RF at
its input, and if present at abnonnaliy high levels, the amplifier can blow its intemal fuses. Large
amounts of DC at the input will have a similar effect. While a Mfuncfioning preamplification

system will not cause any problems, 53m systems have been shown to exhibit one or both oi the
above malfunctions.

Whereas DC at the amplifiers input at high enough levels to cause troubles must certainly be
considered caused by a defective component. RF interference may be the result of close proximity to
a transmitter. ltthis is the case in your particular application, Acoustat has provided a location on the
main printed circuit boards for an additional RF filter capacitorto be installed. While the addition ofthis
RF filter may cause some minorsonic degradation in the best audio systems. itwiii, however, solve any
problems associated with severe RF interference. if your application suggests use of this filter. please

call the factory service department at 305/462-6700 for instructions on how to accomplish this
modification.
