CONNECTION OF ONE OR MORE POWER AMPLIFIERS
This preamplifier has two stereo preamplifier outputs with RCA connectors for the main amplifier channels.
In this way it is possible to drive four loudspeakers or bi-amp one pair of loudspeakers (e. g. using two
stereo main amplifiers). The main amplifiers supply the system's loudspeakers and the loudspeakers are
connected to the outputs of these. Instead of each stereo main amplifier shown here you can alternative-
ly use two mono main amplifiers.
To connect one pair of loudspeakers you will need two main amplifier channels, for example one stereo
main amplifier. Connect both sockets named "1" in the field "OUTPUT" (14) with the RCA input sockets
of the main amplifier channels (often marked as "INPUT" or "POWER AMP IN"). Please pay attention not
to interchange right with left channels. The letters "R" and "L" indicate the correct correlation. You may
further use the SA-T7 preamplifier output marked with "2" for a headphone amplifier.
You can as well use both stereo outputs at the same time, giving way for up to 4 main amplifier channels
to supply their loudspeaker. For that all you need to do is connect all remaining stereo outputs (14) with
additional main amplifier channel inputs.

The fact that this amplifier is equipped with two RCA stereo preamplifier outputs enables you to bi-wire
your loudspeakers using adequate speakers and one or more additional main amplifiers. For the best ren-
dering, amplifiers with transmission inputs (e.g. studio amplifiers) should be connected with the optimal
output labeled "1" in "Outputs". Vincent amplifiers generally have input impedances > 10 k Ω and can
be connected to outputs "1" and/or "2" anytime. Your HiFi specialist will advise you on this.
STANDBY CONTROL (POWER CONTROL)
Many AV-Systems consist of a multitude of individual components. To avoid the necessity of switching them
on and off before and after every use, many manufacturers have equipped their devices with what is
known as "POWER CONTROL" circuit or "TRIGGER". This kind of remote-controlled standby circuit is
used primarily for preamplifier and power amplifiers. Particularly for preamplifiers and main amplifiers
this kind of remote standby control is utilized, as power amplifiers are often placed far from other devi-
ces near the speakers. To employ these functions, direct or indirect cable connections must be made bet-
ween the preamplifier (or integrated amplifier) and all the devices which support this function. The
"POWER CONTROL" function operates in such a way that each switching on or off of one device in the
system (usually the preamplifier) automatically brings about the switching on or off of all the connected
devices which support this function. Please keep in mind that all devices which respond to the power con-
