IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
When using this electronic device, basic precautions should always be taken, including the following:  
1. Read all instructions before using the product.  
2. Do not use this product near water (e.g., near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a  
swimming pool, etc.).  
3. This product should be used only with a cart or stand that will keep it level and stable and prevent wobbling.  
4. This product, in combination with headphones or speakers, may be capable of producing sound levels that  
could cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for a long period of time at a high volume level or at a  
level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should consult an  
audiologist.  
5. The product should be positioned so that proper ventilation is maintained.  
6. The product should be located away from heat sources such as radiators, heat vents, or other devices  
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.  
7. The product should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or  
as marked on the product. Replace the fuse only with one of the specified type, size, and correct rating.  
8. The power supply cord should: (1) be undamaged, (2) never share an outlet or extension cord with other  
devices so that the outlet’s or extension cord’s power rating is exceeded, and (3) never be left plugged into  
the outlet when not being used for a long period of time.  
9. Care should be taken so that objects do not fall into, and liquids are not spilled through, the enclosure’s  
openings.  
10. The product should be serviced by qualified service personnel if:  
A.  
B.  
The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged.  
Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been spilled onto the product.  
C. The product has been exposed to rain.  
D.  
E.  
The product does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance.  
The product has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.  
11. Do not attempt to service the product beyond what is described in the user maintenance instructions. All  
other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.

power amplifier’s level controls or reduce the output level  
of the preceding component to avoid audible distortion or  
hard clipping. (Note: Operating the amplifier at hard  
clipping can result in overheating or may damage your  
amplifier over a period of time. Amplifiers that are  
damaged due to such user neglect, or improper  
operation, are not covered under warranty.)  
FRONT PANEL  
1. POWER SWITCH  
To turn the unit ON or OFF, press the left or right portion  
of this button. Before turning on the amplifier, check all  
connections and turn down the level controls. A  
momentary muting is normal when turning the amplifier  
on or off. (Caution: Always turn on your power amplifier  
last, after all your other connected equipment, and  
always turn off your power amplifier before your other  
connected equipment.)  
4. SIGNAL LED INDICATORS  
These LEDs illuminate to confirm the presence of an  
input signal greater than 100 mV at that channel of the  
amplifier  
2. POWER LED INDICATOR  
This LED flashes and then illuminates when the power is  
turned “ON”.  
5. LEVEL CONTROLS  
These control the level of signal coming into each  
channel. The actual voltage gain of the amplifier is  
shown in dB. Turn these controls counterclockwise if the  
peak LEDs illuminate steadily (indicating too strong an  
input signal).  
3. CLIP (PEAK) LED INDICATORS  
These LEDs illuminate if any section of the power  
amplifier’s output are within 3dB of clipping. Occasional  
blinking of the LEDs are acceptable, but if they remain on  
more than occasionally you should turn down either the

To ensure years of enjoyment from your NADY AUDIO ProPower™ PPA-300, please read and understand this manual  
thoroughly before using the unit.  
INSPECTION  
Your NADY AUDIO ProPower™ PPA-300 was carefully packed at the factory in packaging designed to protect the units in  
shipment. Before installing and using your unit, carefully examine the packaging and all contents for any signs of physical  
damage that may have occurred in transit.  
[Please note: Nady Systems is not responsible for shipping damage. If your unit is damaged, do not return to Nady, but notify  
your dealer and the shipping company (if shipped to you) immediately to make a claim. Such claims must be made by the  
consignee in a timely manner.]  
CONTENTS  
• Instruction manual  
• PPA-300 (verify that the unit’s serial number is same as shown on shipping carton)  
• AC Power cord  
• Warranty Card  
POWER CONNECTION  
The PPA-300 has an internal power supply and is designed to operate from an external AC source. Power requirements  
for electrical equipment differ from area to area. Be sure to confirm that the voltage is your area is 115V, 60 Hz  
RACK MOUNTING  
The PPA-300 amplifier is designed for standard 19" rack mounting as well as “stack” mounting without a cabinet. Use 4  
screws and washers for mounting to the front rack rails. It is also a good idea to support the amps also in the rear,  
especially for mobile use where the amps will be subjected to shocks.  
AMPLIFIER COOLING  
Also pay close attention to the cooling requirements. Never block the air vent in the back side and front of the amplifier if  
the amplifier is being run at high output levels. For best results in such high output power applications you should  
augment the amplifier’s air flow with a rack cooling system.
