L O C A T I O N
Your amplifier should be located in a well ventilated area and kept away from sources of
heat, dust, humidity and direct sunlight.
The amplifier may be positioned either as a free standing unit or alongside other audio/
video product(s). Never place the amplifier on other electronic equipment, carpet or
any surface likely to hinder normal ventilation. Never allow liquids or other objects to
fall into the unit.
NOTE: The feet on the Caspian products are made from natural rubber for improved
sound quality. Unfortunately, they can sometimes react with oiled, natural wood
surfaces. It is recommended to place a non pourous material between the feet and
the wooden surface to prevent the reaction and preserve the finish of the wood.
NOTE: This unit contains no user serviceable parts. Do not remove any panels or
attempt to service it yourself. Unauthorised servicing will void the warranty.
C O N N E C T I N G M A I N S P O W E R
NOTE: The amplifier uses high current circuitry. Do not unplug the cable while
the amplifier is on.
The moulded IEC plug of the supplied mains lead should be plugged into the socket
on the rear of the unit first and then plugged into the mains supply. The Mains Power
Switch is on the left front underside of the amplifier. This switch can be left on; if
however the amplifier is likely to be unattended for a long period, switch it off and
unplug the mains lead from the wall.

All the inputs and outputs use gold plated RCA Phono connectors (CD input also has
switchable gold plated Balanced XLR inputs) and should be connected accordingly:
Left Channel – Black; Right Channel – Red

RCA Input Connections

There are six inputs including the Tape Input. All these inputs are line level inputs and
will accept virtually all currently available source components.

Phono RCA Input Connections

As your amplifier is a line level unit you cannot connect a phono cartridge directly to
it, you will need a dedicated phono pre-amplifier. The Roksan range of phono pre-
amplifiers accept conventional moving coil and moving magnet cartridges and have
custom equalisation for the Roksan Shiraz cartridge. Further information can be found
at roksan.com

RCA Output Connections

There are two pre-amplifier outputs and one tape output. Connect the pre-amplifier
outputs to a subwoofer or power amplifier. The Tape Output should be connected to
the inputs on a tape deck.
