Loudspeaker Compatibility
Although the 5010 Mono Power Amplifi er is able to drive
almost any loudspeaker system, the best results will most
likely be achieved with speakers rated at 8 Ohms. For
loudspeakers rated below 4 Ohms please ensure adequate
ventilation.
Speaker Cable Compatibility
While the 5010 Mono Power Amplifi er is compatible with
most types of loudspeaker cables, the type of cables
used can infl uence the sonic performance of your system.
Please ask your dealer for advice on loudspeaker cable
compatibility and how to get the best from your 5010 Mono
Power Amplifi er.
Note : The 5010 Mono Power Amplifi er is internally protected
against damage from short circuits. However, no such
protection is infallible, and damage may occur if positive
and negative speaker cables are inadvertently connected
together.
Bi-wiring
Bi-wiring may provide a useful gain in subjective
performance. Should you choose this option, please refer
to the "Extended Set-Up" section overleaf for detailed
information.
