Loudspeaker Cable

We recommend using good quality cable such as our own, or similar
types made by QED or Naim. Very expensive cable claiming to use
special materials and technologies along with "solid core" or OFC
types are not recommended. Try to keep cable runs to either speaker
of similar length. Your Rega dealer will be able to make up specific
lengths of cable for you with plugs (where required) already fitted.
Never join cables together to increase their length.
Damage by shorting: Never short (i.e. touch together), the bare
ends of the speaker cable on any amplifier. However, the protection
circuit will prevent damage in the case of accidental shorting.

In Use

Switching On
The Brio is turned on by depressing the power switch on the left of
the control panel. An LED in the power switch will glow red. At turn on
an audible thump may be heard through the speakers, this is normal.
WARNING: Never switch the amplifier on with the volume control set
at or near maximum. After switching off, the LED will glow for several
seconds before fading while the remaining charge in the smoothing
capacitors is dumped.
