How To Connect Your System - ELECTROCOMPANIET AW 300 Owner's Manual

How to avoid damage
Do not under any circumstances connect or
disconnect equipment when power is turned
on. The design of the XLR plug generates a
huge transient when inserted. Connecting or
disconnecting equipment with the power on
can result in severe damage to both speakers
and amplifier.
Speaker output
Connect your speakers to the output labeled
SPEAKER OUTPUT. The speaker terminals will
accept banana, spades and stripped speaker
cables. Make sure to not mix the left and right
channel and also make sure that the positive
terminal on the speaker is connected to the
positive terminal on the AW 300 M.
Be careful when connecting your speakers
so that the speaker outputs are not shorted in
any way, neither to the chassis or each other.
Switch the amplifier off before connecting or
disconnecting the speaker cables.
WARNING:
marked with the preceding symbol are
HAZARDOUS LIVE and any wiring
connected to these terminals must be
installed by an INSTRUCTED PERSON
or with ready-made leads or cords.
WARNING:
terminals have voltage swing relative
to ground, and must never under
any circumstances be connected to
an input that is directly connected to
ground.

Always slide them in the direction that will hide
the printed text on the switch. Do not push in
with excessive force. Only use force in the left
or right direction.
WARNING:
the AC mains supply, check that
the mains voltage selector is set
correctly according to the voltage
supply in the area where the AW
300 M will be used.
Set both voltage select switches to setting 115
if the mains voltage is in range 100 to 120 VAC.
Set both voltage select switches to setting 230
if the mains voltage is in range 200 to 240 VAC
Connect the included AC mains supply cord
to the power inlet labeled MAINS INPUT on
the bottom rear of the amplifier. The AW 300
