Page 5: Installation Considerations
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS Placement Place the SI-2125 on a flat level surface like a table or shelf. It should be placed upright so that its weight rests on the four attached feet. Placing the weight of the amplifier on the rear or front panel for even an instant will result in damage to the amplifier's connectors and controls. - Page 6 Turn-On Modes The SI-2125 draws more current than a preamplifier’s switched AC outlet can safely supply. Also, your preamplifier may “thump” at dangerous volumes if the amplifier is already on when the preamp turns on. It is usually best to turn the amplifier on only when it is needed.
- Page 7 Bridged Mode The SI-2125’s bridged mode switch allows you to create a more powerful amplifier by combining both channels into one (8 ohm minumum). In the bridged mode, connect the speakers to the left red positive terminal and the right red positive terminal.

- Page 9 Red “Power” LED confirms the amplifier is connected to a live AC power outlet. (and that the master power switch is on). Front panel “Master Power” switch turns off the entire amplifier, including the Turn-On circuitry. Main Inputs enable you to route a stereo line level source to the SI-2125.

THE AMPLIFIER MUST BE OFF WHENEVER YOU MAKE CHANGES TO THE INPUT CONNECTIONS. STEP 1. Label all of the interconnecting cables for the sources they connect to. 2. Connect the sources by inserting the RCA plugs into the amplifier’s jacks. Cascade Audio Outputs The “Cascade Audio Outputs”...
- Page 14 AC Power Plug STEP Plug the female IEC socket of the supplied AC cord into the IEC receptacle on the rear of the amplifier. Plug the 2 prong plug into 120V 60 Hz wall outlet. CAUTION! Typically the preamp/receiver’s switched outlet is not rated for a power amplifier.

Page 15: Power Switch
OPERATION Power Switch The front panel switch is a master or “vacation” power switch. No matter which turn-on mode you have selected, the master power switch will turn off all circuitry—including the sensing circuitry. If you will not be using the amplifier for an extended period of time, turn the master power switch “Off”... -
