CONNECTING MAINS POWER

Please refer to front & rear panel views. The moulded IEC connector of the supplied mains lead

should be plugged into the socket (14) on the rear of the unit first and then plugged into the

mains supply. The Mains power switch (12) is on the left front underside of the Integrated Ampli-

fier. This switch can be left on; if however the amplifier is likely to be unattended for a long period,

switch it off and unplug the mains lead from the wall.

Signal Input connections:

There are five Inputs (1 – 5) on your Caspian Integrated Amplifier in addition to the Tape Input (6).

All these inputs are line level inputs and will accept virtually all currently available source compo-

nents.

All the inputs use gold plated RCA Phono Connectors (CD input is switchable via Switch 1a to

gold plated Balanced XLR) and should be connected according to the standard convention –

Right Channel – Red; Left Channel – Black or White.

Also in accordance with standard practice, the upper row of Phono Sockets carries the left chan-

nel and the lower carries the right channel.

The Input Sockets are labelled with their legends upside down as well as the normal way round to

assist you should you be connecting an input from a position in front of and above the amplifier.

Phono Input Connections:

As your Caspian Integrated Amplifier is a line level unit you cannot connect a phono cartridge di-

rectly to it but will need a dedicated phono preamplifier. The ROKSAN range of Phono Amplifiers

accept conventional moving coil and moving magnet cartridges and have custom equalisation

for the outstanding ROKSAN Shiraz cartridge. For a demonstration of ROKSAN state of the art

turntable reproduction contact your authorised retailer.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For optimum performance it is recommended to use high quality inter- con-

nect cables such as ROKSAN HDC-02A high definition analogue cable.
