Rear panel connections Last updated: August 9, 2022 05:05. Revision #10019 1. VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH Note: For use by Cambridge Audio service personnel only! 2. AC POWER SOCKET 3. SPEAKER TERMINALS Note: When using a banana plug, make sure the speaker terminals are completely tightened before inserting the plug. - Page 8 Care should be taken to ensure no stray strands of wire short the speaker outputs together. Please ensure that the loudspeaker terminals have been tightened completely to provide a good electrical connection. It is possible for the sound quality to be affected if the screw terminals are loose. 4.

Page 9: Getting Connected
Getting connected Last updated: August 9, 2022 05:05. Revision #10018 LOUDSPEAKERS Check the impedance of your speakers. You can use types with an impedance of between 4 and 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 10 BASIC CONNECTIONS The analogue inputs are to be connected to the Pre-Outs of a Preamplifier or Integrated amp. The diagrams below show the basic connection from a Preamplifier. Unbalanced input: Using RCA cables will enable an unbalanced analogue connection to your EDGE W. If using RCA cables, ensure the ‘Unbalanced’...
- Page 11 Using XLR cables will enable a balanced analogue connection to your EDGE W. This will provide a cleaner signal path compared to an RCA unbalanced connection, especially over longer cable lengths, however the increase in audio quality they provide is subjective when used over shorter lengths.
- Page 12 BI-AMPING Bi-amping allows you to drive the high and mid frequencies of your speakers from one power amp, and the low frequencies of your speakers from a second power amp. The diagram below shows how to bi-amp a pair of EDGE W's connected to an EDGE NQ using a balanced connection.

Page 13: Power Syncing
Power syncing Last updated: August 9, 2022 05:05. Revision #10017 Use the Link wire between the EDGE NQ and EDGE W or EDGE A and EDGE W to synchronise power on/standby. When you turn the EDGE A or NQ On/Off, the EDGE W will also turn On/Off. TRIGGER IN The EDGE W can also be connected to the trigger control output of home automation equipment to control the power state of the EDGE W. -
Page 14: Protection Circuitry
Protection circuitry Last updated: November 11, 2022 10:49. Revision #10016 The EDGE W includes Amplifier Protection Circuitry to detect faults with Over Temperature, DC and Over Current. If any of these faults are detected the LED standby button will turn red. Over Temperature Over temperature is caused by a combination of high listening levels and low impedance speakers. -
Page 15: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Last updated: August 9, 2022 05:05. Revision #10015 There is no power Ensure the AC power cord is connected securely. Ensure the plug is fully inserted into the wall socket and is switched on. Check fuse in the mains plug or adaptor. There is no sound Make sure the unit is not in Standby mode. -
