Declaration of Conformity
Hereby, Taramps Electronics Ltda declares that the product
PRO 2.4S complies with the Directive 2014/30/EU, according

Note: The system is designed for use in virtually all mulmedia head units on the market.
However, on some head units , you may not get the trigger effect due to the type of audio output
circuit. In this case, use the REMOTE wire for triggering it normally.
Limiter / clip LEDs: They have a dual funcon: They indicate that the signal from that output has
reached the maximum level (when the limiter is off) or the actuaon of the limiter (when the
signal reaches the threshold defined in the limiter).
It features funcon of triggering through the input signal, so it eliminates the use of the
REMOTE IN wire from the power connector when using this input.
Power connector: See page 12.
Input clip indicator LED: It shows that the signal is reaching the maximum limit of the processor
input, which causes signal distoron. If it comes on, reduce the volume of the signal source and
readjust the system gains accordingly.
RCA signals input: Input for low level / high impedance (RCA) signals.
WIRE High Level Input: Input for high level / low impedance signals (from the speaker output of
the players or mulmedia center).

Rotate the rotary encoder to set the delay amount to be applied.
The voice coils of each transducers isn't aligned inside the acoustic box, so there is some delay
that can degrade the perfect audio playing. The Delay feature apply different delay amount for
each output way, in order to get the perfect audio alignment.
