INSTALLATION
To ensure years of enjoyment from your NADY AUDIO SMA-2130, please read and understand this manual thoroughly before
using the unit.
INSPECTION
Your NADY AUDIO SMA-2130 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
• SMA-2130 (verify that the unit’s serial number is same as shown on shipping carton)
• AC Power cord
• Warranty Card
RACK MOUNTING
The SMA-2130 fits into one standard 19” rack unit of space (1 3/4”). Parts of the unit can become very warm during use.
This is normal during operation. Care should be taken to ensure that there is enough space around the unit for cooling (at
least 12” or 30cm). Do not place the SMA-2130 on high temperature devices such as power amplifiers, etc., or the unit
may overheat in operation. Also, do not place the unit on speakers as this may cause them to move and/or fall due to
speaker vibrations.
Although the unit’s chassis is shielded against radio frequency (RF) and electromagnetic interference (EMI), extremely
high fields of RF and EMI should be avoided.
POWER CONNECTION
The SMA-2130 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 selected by the voltage selector switch
on the back panel is proper for your area (120VAC/60 Hz or 230VAC/50Hz) per the information below:
Europe (except UK): 230V, 50Hz
UK and Australia: 240V, 50Hz
USA and Canada: 120V, 60 Hz
For other areas, please check with local authorities.When ready to operate, plug the AC cord into the power source. Make
sure that the unit is turned off before connecting to the AC power source to avoid possible loud transients that can
damage your speakers or your ears, especially when monitoring with headphones.

of this button.
output’s connection to verify that it is correct, then turn ON
the power again. The amplifier will reset itself when the
problem is corrected. This LED will also light briefly when
the unit is powered on.
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.
5. LEVEL CONTROLS
These control the level of signal coming into each channel.
Turn these controls counterclockwise if the peak LEDs
illuminate steadily (indicating too strong an input signal). To
be safe, it is also suggested these controls be turned fully
counter-clockwise before powering on the unit, in case there
are any loud input signals.
2. POWER LED INDICATOR
Lights when the unit is on.
3. BRIDGE / PARALLEL INDICATORS
These indicators will light when the corresponding mode of
operation is selected with the mode selector switch. No light
means the unit is in Stereo mode.
6. CLIP LED INDICATORS
These LEDs illuminate if any section of the power amplifier’s
output is within 3dB of clipping. Occasional blinking of these
LEDs is acceptable, but if they remain on more than
intermittently you should turn down either the amplifier’s level
control or reduce the output level of the preceding
component to avoid audible distortion.
4. PROTECTION LED INDICATOR
This LED illuminates when the unit is overheated, or when a
shorted load or DC is detected at the amplifier output. When
this LED lights up, turn OFF the power and check the

Bottom
Panel
• STEREO INPUT — This is the most common mode
generally used, and allows independent control of 2 separate
signals such as stereo, main and monitor live mixes, and bi-
amp operation (highs in one channel and lows in the other).
7. BALANCED INPUT CONNECTORS (1/4" TRS & XLR)
These 1/4" (6.3mm) TRS (Tip/Ring/Sleeve) phone jacks and XLR
jacks are compatible with balanced inputs and are wired as
Tip/Pin 3 = (-), Ring/Pin 2 = (+), and Sleeve/Pin 1 = Ground.
Input impedance is 14K Ohms.
• BRIDGED MONO — This mode combines the power of
both channels to drive a single speaker. Connect the input
signal to Channel 1 input for bridged mono operation. When
in Bridged mode, use the red binding post (banana jack)
outputs only. If Channel 1 and Channel 2 outputs are used,
the Speakers will be out of phase.
Since the channel TRS phone jacks and XLR jacks are wired
internally in parallel, you can parallel this unit with another
amplifier by using either the LINE 1/4" jack or the XLR jack
(depending on which you’re using to input your signal) to output
the signal to the input jack of the other amplifier.
(CAUTION: This amplifier can deliver high power into a speaker.
Make sure that the speaker can handle the power output of this
amplifier)
The 1/4" TRS phone jacks can also be used for unbalanced
inputs. For TRS phone plugs, simply connect the unused side of
the balanced input to ground. For 1/4" TS phone plugs, no
change is necessary for compatibility with this input. Balanced
input signals are recommended as they are less prone to AC
hum. For long cable runs a source of less than 600 ohms output
impedance is needed to avoid signal loss. For short cable runs
an unbalanced signal input should be suitable.
10. GROUND LIFT SWITCH
Switch to disconnect the chassis from ground if necessary to
eliminate hum caused by ground loops.
11. SPEAKER OUTPUT CONNECTORS
Speakon™ and binding post (banana jack) outputs are
compatible with a speaker load of 4ohms or greater (8 ohms or
greater for bridged operation). Do not use less than an 8 Ohm
load when in Bridged mode. Connections are as depicted on the
rear panel.
(Note: Do not use both unbalanced and balanced cables in the
same set-up as that can unbalance all the connections when
daisy-chaining, resulting in hum.)
For stereo (two-channel) operation, use the inputs for both
Channel 1 and Channel 2; for parallel or bridged mono operation,
use only Channel 1 input. (See 9. MODE SELECTOR
SWITCHES below for more explanation.)
12. FUSE HOLDER & POWER CORD CONNECTOR
This fuse holder contains an AC primary fuse. When this fuse
blows, replace it with the same type fuse, size and power rating
(see SPECIFICATIONS). If it continuously blows, stop replacing
the fuse and refer servicing to qualified personnel. The cord
connector is used to connect the AC power source to your power
amplifier.
8. INPUT LEVEL SWITCH
Sensitivity slide switch offers 3 sensitivity inputs of operation;
0.77 volts, 1.0 volts & 1.44 volts.
9. MODE SELECTOR SWITCH
(CAUTION: After checking the AC supply voltage, be sure that
the correct fuse is in the fuse holder.)
The SPA Series amplifiers offer 3 modes of operation:
PARALLEL, STEREO & BRIDGED. Slide the switch to one of the
three positions for your application.
CAUTION: DO NOT REMOVE THE AC PLUG CENTER
GROUNDING PIN.
• PARALLEL (MONO) INPUT — This mode allows both
channel outputs to operate in parallel with the same signal. In
this mode, use channel 1 input and Level Control to operate
Channel 1 and Channel 2 Speaker Outputs. Channel 2 input
is not operational.
13. INPUT VOLTAGE SELECT SWITCH (BOTTOM PANEL)
Select 115V/60Hz or 230V/50Hz as appropriate for your area.
(CAUTION: Selecting the wrong voltage can damage your unit.
