All the inputs and outputs use gold plated RCA Phono and XLR connectors and should
be connected accordingly:
Left Channel – Black; Right Channel – Red

Input Connections:

Two pairs of inputs are available on your amplifier. One pair is a line input (RCA) the
other is a balanced input (XLR). They are designed for connection to units which are
equipped with a volume control using appropriate type and length cables.
CAUTION: Any attempt to connect the amplifier directly to a source such as CD,
Tuner, DVD player, etc may result in a volume level that will damage the amplifier
and any loudspeakers connected to it.

Output Connections:

Two pairs of outputs are available on your amplifier. One pair is a line output (RCA),
the other is a balanced output (XLR). The outputs can be used to connect additional
amplifiers in a chain that will maintain a stable and powerful signal to jointly control
loudspeakers with more than a single amplifier.
NOTE: The amplifier is designed to be used as a two channel amplifier and can
not be bridged to form a Monoblock.

Loudspeakers and their cables can be connected to the amplifier in a number of
ways. The following sections guide you through the different options available to you
depending on your electronics, cable and personal choice/ preference.
The right and left loudspeakers are connected to the amplifier via the binding posts. The
amplifier offers the standard 4mm speaker cable binding posts or bare wire connection.
Litz-wound loudspeaker cables or those with a complex plaited construction can
present a highly capacitive load to an amplifier and may cause damage to the
amplifier and/ or degrade the sound of your system. Choose a cable of simple
construction, manufactured from high-quality materials. Your ROKSAN retailer will be
able to advise.
NOTE: DO NOT use speaker cable with conductor size less than 16 AWG (1.6mm
Diameter). The binding posts accept conductor sizes up to 12 AWG.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that you use professionally terminated speaker
cables using 4mm plugs. Any attempt to connect cables which are not
terminated may result in damage to the amplifier if not done correctly.
