STARTING UP THE DEVICE

Scope of delivery The scope of delivery for the device comprises the following items:
· 1 package
· 1 operation manual
· 1 power cable
· 2 XLR-RCA adapter plugs
· 1 remote cable
Packaging We recommend keeping the original packaging in case you need to transport the device again at
a later date, e.g. if you move home.
Setup Carefully remove the amplifier from the transport packaging and set the device up in an appropriate
location. Choose a location that guarantees good air circulation around the device.

CONNECTING THE DEVICE

Before connecting the device, please make sure that the mains switch (9) is set to "OFF" and
that the mains plug is not plugged in.
To avoid any mistakes, we strongly recommend following the connection procedure outlined
here.
At the factory, the mains voltage is set to the national standard for the country in which you
Mains voltage
purchased your Burmester device.
If you intend to operate your 911 power amplifier at a different mains voltage to that set at the
factory, you will need to send your 911 power amplifier to our Sales team or our factory in Berlin so
that the mains voltage can be adjusted accordingly.
If you are uncertain of the mains voltage at your installation site, please make sure you check
with your authorised Burmester dealer prior to installation.
Inputs The 911 has two balanced inputs (4) and (12), which can also be operated in unbalanced mode
using the two adapter plugs included in the scope of delivery. However, in order to make full use
of the device's sonic capabilities, we recommend using the balanced connections.
Outputs The speaker cable is connected to the binding posts at the speaker outputs (5), (6), (10) and (11).
To ensure unimpeded signal flow, we recommend terminating the speaker cables with copper
spade lugs. We strongly advise against using banana plugs of any kind. The speaker cables must
be connected correctly to the speakers before they are connected to the outputs of the 911.
PLEASE NOTE: The speaker outputs of power amps like the 911 may conduct potentially fatal voltages.
Remote If you connect the REMOTE OUT (13) jack to the corresponding REMOTE IN jack on a BURMESTER
device, you will be able to switch this on and off remotely when switching the 911 power amplifier
on and off. In this case, the 911 power amplifier will act as the master device.
If you connect the REMOTE IN (14) jack to the corresponding REMOTE OUT jack on a BURMESTER
device, you will be able to switch the 911 power amplifier on and off remotely when switching the
device in question on and off. In this case, the 911 power amplifier will act as the slave device.
