- מאַכט אויף: Ensure all connections are secure before plugging the unit into an AC outlet. The unit will power on automatically.
- אַרייַנשרייַב קשר: Connect your audio sources (microphones, line-level devices) to the appropriate input jacks (Input 1, 2, or 3) on the rear panel.
- רעדנער קשר: פאַרבינדן דיין ספּיקערז צו די AMPLIFIER OUTPUT terminal block, matching the impedance and voltage settings. For Zone 2, connect either an external amplifier or a 1W 8Ω speaker.
- אַדזשאַסטירן אַרייַנגאַנג געווינען: Use the GAIN knobs for each input to set the appropriate input level. Start with the gain at minimum and slowly increase until the desired level is achieved without distortion.
- Adjust Master Output: Use the master volume control (typically on the front panel, though not detailed in the provided image) to set the overall output level.
- Adjust Zone 2 Level: Use the ZONE 2 LEVEL knob on the rear panel to control the output level for Zone 2.
אַרייַנשרייַב געווינען אַדזשאַסטמאַנט
Each input (Input 1, Input 2, Input 3) has a dedicated gain control knob on the rear panel. These knobs allow you to match the input sensitivity of the amplifier to the output level of your audio source.
- אַרייַנשרייַב 1 געווינען: Adjustable from -10 dB to +50 dB, suitable for both line and microphone levels. Input 1 has priority over Input 2 and Input 3.
- אַרייַנשרייַב 2 געווינען: Adjustable from -10 dB to +10 dB. Input 2 has priority over Input 3.
- אַרייַנשרייַב 3 געווינען: Adjustable from -10 dB to +10 dB.
To set the gain, start with the knob fully counter-clockwise (minimum gain). Play your audio source at its typical operating level and slowly turn the gain knob clockwise until the signal is clear and strong without clipping or distortion. If a signal is too hot even at minimum gain, consider using an attenuator or a different input.
Zone 2 Level Control
The ZONE 2 LEVEL knob controls the output volume for the Zone 2 output. This allows for independent volume adjustment of the secondary audio zone. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the level and counter-clockwise to decrease it. The range is from OFF to MAX.
Manual Mute Function
The MANUAL MUTE terminal block allows for external control of muting functions via contact closure.
- 1 & G = INPUT 1 TRIG: Connecting a contact closure between terminal 1 and G will trigger a specific function related to Input 1, typically muting other inputs or activating a priority override.
- G & 2 = MASTER SYSTEM STANDBY: Connecting a contact closure between terminal G and 2 will put the entire TM-360 system into standby mode, effectively muting all outputs.
Consult specific system design documentation for detailed implementation of these contact closure functions.

| קיין מאַכט | Power cord disconnected; outlet not active; internal fuse blown. | Check power cord connection. Test outlet with another device. If fuse is suspected, contact qualified service personnel. |
| קיין אַודיאָ רעזולטאַט | Input gain too low; master volume too low; incorrect speaker wiring; input source issue; mute engaged. | Increase input gain and master volume. Verify speaker connections and impedance. Check audio source. Ensure Manual Mute is not active. |
| פאַרקרימט אַודיאָ | Input gain too high; speaker impedance mismatch; faulty cable. | Reduce input gain. Verify speaker impedance matches amplifier output. Test with different cables. |
| ברומען אָדער ראַש | Ground loop; faulty cable; interference from other electronics. | Ensure all equipment is on the same electrical circuit. Use balanced cables where possible. Isolate the unit from other electronics. |
| Zone 2 not working | Zone 2 level set to OFF; input not assigned to Zone 2; incorrect Zone 2 wiring. | Adjust ZONE 2 LEVEL knob. Check DIP switches 1, 2, 3 for correct input assignment to Zone 2. Verify Zone 2 output wiring. |
If the problem persists after trying these steps, contact Ashly customer support or a qualified service technician.
