SPEAKER TERMINALS Note: When using a banana plug, make sure the speaker terminals are completely tightened before inserting the plug.
  • Page 8 Connect the wires from your left channel loudspeaker to the left positive and negative terminals and the wires from the right channel loudspeaker to the right positive and negative terminals. In each case, the red terminal is the positive output and the black terminal is the negative output. Care should be taken to ensure no stray strands of wire short the speaker outputs together.

  • Page 9: Getting Connected

    Getting connected Last updated: August 9, 2022 05:05. Revision #5721 LOUDSPEAKERS Check the impedance of your speakers. You can use types with an impedance of between 4 and 8 Ohms. The red coloured speaker terminals are positive (+) and the black speaker terminals are negative (-). Make sure the correct polarity is maintained at each speaker connector or the sound can become weak and “phasey”...
  • Page 10 The analogue inputs are to be connected to the Pre-Outs of a Preamplifier or Integrated amp. The diagrams below show the basic connection from a Preamplifier. Unbalanced input: Using RCA cables will enable an unbalanced analogue connection to your EDGE W. If using RCA cables, ensure the ‘Unbalanced’ switch on your EDGE W is selected.
  • Page 11 Balanced input: Using XLR cables will enable a balanced analogue connection to your EDGE W. This will provide a cleaner signal path compared to an RCA unbalanced connection, especially over longer cable lengths, however the increase in audio quality they provide is subjective when used over shorter lengths.
  • Page 12 Bi-amping allows you to drive the high and mid frequencies of your speakers from one power amp, and the low frequencies of your speakers from a second power amp. The diagram below shows how to bi-amp a pair of EDGE W's connected to an EDGE NQ using a balanced connection.

  • Page 13: Power Syncing

    Last updated: August 9, 2022 05:05. Revision #5722 Use the Link wire between the EDGE NQ and EDGE W or EDGE A and EDGE W to synchronise power on/standby. When you turn the EDGE A or NQ On/Off, the EDGE W will also turn On/Off.

  • Page 14: Protection Circuitry

    EDGE W offers loudspeaker protection if the output of the amplifier goes to a high constant voltage (DC) because of some internal fault. This is a rare fault, although detecting it will protect your loudspeakers from damage.

  • Page 15: Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting Last updated: August 9, 2022 05:05. Revision #5724 There is no power Ensure the AC power cord is connected securely. Ensure the plug is fully inserted into the wall socket and is switched on. Check fuse in the mains plug or adaptor. There is no sound Make sure the unit is not in Standby mode.
