Connecting The Mains Cable - SPHINX Project Twelve User Manual

If you connect the CONTROL OUT of the Project
Twelve with the CONTROL IN of another Sphinx
component (usually another power amp), this will
also automatically be selected to stand-by as soon
as the Project Twelve is set to stand-by.
In 'stand-by' mode the bias current of the power
amp is set to a lower level, which drastically
decreases the temperature and power
consumption. Additionally it significantly increases
the life span of the component.
The power amp also warms up more quickly so you
will be able to enjoy maximum performance without
significant delay.
Ensure proper connection of the optical cables
(from CONTROL OUT to CONTROL IN), otherwise
the LED on the front panel may remain green even
though the stand-by mode is activated.
If the Project Twelve is placed in strong direct
sunlight and you do not use an optical connection
the stand-by mode may self-activate. In that case
you should place the supplied dummy connector in
the CONTROL IN jack (but only if this is not being
used).
We strongly recommend against placing the
component in direct sunlight.

Connecting the mains cable

Before you connect the cable please check
whether the mains voltage indicated on the
manufacturer's label on the rear panel is the
same as your local mains voltage.
If not: please contact your dealer and do not
connect the component to the mains.
Connect the mains cable after you have connected
all other components in the system and have
double-checked all connections.
If you use more than one Project Twelve you should
connect them all to the same mains outlet and
phase.
