CONNECTIONS

Connect the power cord to the back of the amplifier and plug it into the nearest wall plug.
Use only a 3 lugs grounded plug, for safety reasons. To get the best sound from the
amplifier, avoid any multiple plug or extension cord.
If used with an analog signal, connect the interconnect between the preamp and each
power amp and position the Analog/Digital input switch to analog. You may either use the
RCA female socket or the XLR. The XLR socket, especially useful in professional
installations, is wired as follows:
1. Grounding, Shielding
2. Hot
3. Cold
ATTENTION
If you want to use a symmetrical 4 wire cable, never maintain the ground/earth
switch to "Float" or you may damage your amplifier.
When used with a digital input signal, connect the digital input cable to the digital input and
switch the input switch to digital. Since a digital Spdif cable carries 2 channels you may link
the digital output to the next amplifier to transfer the second channel.
Connect the speaker cable to the red and black terminals in the back of the amplifier, or, if
you use a Goldmund High Definition speaker cable, you can connect directly from the
speaker cable to the coaxial plugs on the back panel of the amplifier, bypassing the
amplifier adapter module of the speaker cable.
The output (5 way post and coaxial) are connected internally in parallel.
They are provided to facilitate the connection in bi-wiring systems.
You may notice that the ground of the input plug and the black speaker terminal are the
same polarity. The amplifier is non-inverting in phase (see page 12).
