AC Power Connection
The amplifier utilises a 32 A Neutrik PowerCon™ type locking AC power connector. Use only an
AC power cable with a correctly terminated PowerCon™ type connector to make the connection
to the mains power supply.
The amplifiers are designed to operate on 50/60 Hz AC power. The power supply sections
automatically configure themselves for either 115 V or 230 V nominal voltage at turn on. The
amplifiers will operate over an extended range of supply voltages (please refer to the technical
specifications).
Note that whilst the amplifier will operate correctly at voltages indicated, the specified output
power will only be achieved when operating with the stated nominal voltages.
Audio Connections
Input Connections
For each input channel there is a female XLR connector for analogue inputs. There is also one
female XLR for one stream (two channels) of AES3 digital audio. Note that only two channels
of AES3 digital audio are available. The Dante option permits more channels of Digital Audio
inputs.
•
The HOT, + or 'in phase' connection should be made to pin 2 of the XLR connector.
•
The COLD, - or 'out of phase' connection should be made to pin 3 of the XLR connector.
•
Pin 1 of the XLR connectors is internally connected to the chassis. The shield of the input
cable should always be connected Pin 1 of the XLR to ensure that EMC performance and
regulations are met.
Using unbalanced connections
Please note that the use of unbalanced connections is not recommended, however when
connecting the amplifier to an unbalanced audio source, the signal conductor should be
connected to XLR pin 2. The 'Cold' conductor or cable screen should be connected to XLR pin
1 with a short connection made between pin 1 and pin 3.
