    Passive cooling with large heatsinks allow for low mechanical noise, and special care was taken to reduce noise and distortion at every possible stage. The high performance specifications of the P3100 means that it is equally at home in a recording or mastering studio as it is in an audiophile listening room.

    Connecting the Power The P3100 operates from a 120 volt, 60Hz AC power line or 230 volt, 50-60Hz AC power line. Connection is made by a 14-gauge, IEC, grounded line cord. The voltage is preset at the factory for the country where the P3100 is shipped but may be changed on the rear panel is case the P3100 is operated in another country.
  • Page 13 Since a bridged amplifier shares the load between the two channels, each channel will effectively drive half of the load. For bridged mono operation we recommend using an 8 Ohm load as the minimum impedance. Less than 8 Ohm operation in bridge mode is outside the operating parameters for the P3100 and should not be done. MONO MONO Pushed “in”...

    On turnoff, there is a sense circuit that will mute the P3100 fairly quickly but when an entire system is shut off at the same time as from a power bar being turned off, if any prior equipment thumps badly on turnoff, a small amount of this may pass through to the speakers.

    Passion for Perfection Do I need to allow the P3100 to warm up before using? The P3100 will work immediately when turned on, however it will sound best after it has reached thermal stability. This may take up to one hour.
