5: Connections

Signal Input

Balanced Input
Balanced connections provide greater dynamic range and lower
noise. If your source unit has balanced outputs please connect them
to the balanced input. You will need one XLR balanced cable per
channel.

Unbalanced Input

If you cannot use the balanced input, connect a high quality
stereo screened RCA phone lead from the unbalanced input of the
8300A to a suitable output of the source unit. 8300A has AUX1,
AUX2, VIDEO, TUNER and CD as line level inputs. The PHONO
input should only be connected to turntables fitted with MM or MC
cartridges.
Power AMP Input
For driving the power amplifier input directly from an external source.
Only operates when Pre-Power mode is selected.

Signal Output

PRE-AMP Output 1&2
Low impedance pre-amplifier outputs for driving external power
amplifiers, sub-woofers or signal processors.

Trigger Connections

Audiolab 8300A has one pair trigger connections on the rear panel, can be activated by
8300CD's or any other source's trigger output. 8300A can also provide a trigger signal
to another 8300A's or any other amplifier's trigger input. If you have an 8300 system, we
advise connecting the triggers. This will enable all 8300 units to be brought in and out of
standby using the trigger connections.
To connect to your control unit, you will need a cable with one end to match the trigger
output of the control unit and other terminating in a 3.5mm jack plug. For Audiolab 8300
series, this will be a 3.5mm to 3.5mm interconnect.

Mains Input

Before connecting the 8300A to the mains supply make sure that all the other
connections to your system have been properly and securely made. Make sure the
ON/OFF switch on the 8300A is switched off. Switch the mains supply off at the
wall socket, and then, using the cable supplied, connect the socket on the back
of your 8300A to an AC supply outlet. The 8300A is now ready for operation.
