F F F F RONT RONT RONT RONT DISPLAY LED DISPLAY LED DISPLAY LED DISPLAY LED An LED on the front panel indicates that the power is on.

Page 7: Input Terminal
INPUT TERMINAL INPUT TERMINAL The input terminals for your Plinius P8 Power Amplifier are easily accessible at the top centre of the rear panel. These standard RCA terminals are for use with unbalanced signals (single ended RCA) from a line level output preamplifier. - Page 8 By connecting a processor with a 5-12V remote trigger signal to these terminals, the P8 can be put in and out of standby/mute by the processor to which it is connected. When in standby/mute the amplifier draws less current and will operate at minimum temperature. The output relays are also open, disconnecting the loudspeakers.
- Page 9 (slots in the lid and base) are not covered or restricted in any way. The Plinius P8 design incorporates a very high level of mechanical de-coupling of the input and output. It can however still be influenced by acoustical feedback in the operating environment. The use of acoustic cones, or a suitably spiked amplifier stand or table, may further enhance the performance of this amplifier.
- Page 10 Connect your preamplifier to the RCA inputs on the back of the Plinius P8. Make sure you connect the red coded cable to the red RIGHT RCA input, and the black (or white) cable to the black LEFT RCA input. Also make sure the RCA connectors are a snug fit and are inserted all the way in.
- Page 11 RM-UP PERIOD RM-UP PERIOD You will find that the Plinius P8 will become noticeably ‘purer’ in sound after being on for a period of time. We usually recommend waiting at least 24 hours before expecting the best quality of sound reproduction from your amplifier.
