Page 12: Getting Connected
Getting connected Last updated: Juli 29, 2022 10:29. Revision #5451 LOUDSPEAKERS Check the impedance of your speakers. You can use speakers with an impedance of 8 Ohms. The red coloured speaker terminals are positive (+) and the black speaker terminals are negative (-). Make sure the correct polarity is maintained at each speaker connector or the sound can become weak and “phasey”... - Page 13 Notes: When using a banana plug, make sure the speaker terminals are completely tightened before inserting the plug. The speaker terminals will need to have the round pips removed before you can insert a banana plug into them. BASIC CONNECTIONS Any ‘line level’...
- Page 14 The diagram below shows the basic connection of the AXR to a turntable via the Phono input. This unit has a built-in Phono preamplifier (Phono Stage), so if your turntable does not possess its own Phono Stage, you may connect the record player to the input on the rear of the unit marked 'Phono'.
- Page 15 SPEAKER B CONNECTIONS The Speaker B connections on the back of the amplifier allow for a second set of speakers to be used (i.e. speakers located in another room). The Speaker A/B button on the front panel and remote control allows the two sets of speakers to be toggled on and off. Refer to the Front Panel or Remote Control section of this manual for more information on the Speaker A/B operation.
