When using binding post connectors, please make sure that
insulation on cables is not removed too high. Insert the naked
part of the cable fully so that no metal is visible. Cable clamps
must be isolated to avoid the possibility of electric shock. When
running the amp in mono-bridged mode, always use the middle
two binding post connectors, paying attention to correct polarity.
+
ATTENTION! If you notice naked cable endings on
the binding post connectors, do not power up the
amp because of the risk of electric shock.

4.1.2 Connecting to the mains

Always connect your EUROPOWER amplifier to the voltage
specified on the rear of the device. Connecting the amp to an
incorrect voltage can permanently damage your amp.
Before powering up the amplifier, double-check all
connections and fully lower the gain setting.

Various cables are needed for different types of applications.
The following illustrations show the correct wiring. Always use
high-grade cables.

When connecting a balanced input signal, please
make sure to exclusively use balanced cables for
passing the signal further on. Otherwise, one
single unbalanced cable can turn the entire signal
unbalanced.
