CONNECTING TO OTHER EQUIPMENT

Follow the installation instructions for the integrated amplifier on
pages 5–6.
– Connect this input to the output sockets of your pre-
AUDIO IN
amplifier or the sockets of an integrated amplifier.
PRE OUT
– The power amplifier can be adapted to provide
MONO LINK
two mono loudspeaker outputs from a single input. Pull out the
link supplied and use it to connect the
together. Using one power amplifier per loudspeaker will enable you
to bi-amplify bi-wireable loudspeakers.
This is particularly beneficial for top quality stereo installations with a
separate pre-amplifier, or where amplifiers are provided for the left,
centre and right channel loudspeakers in a five speaker Dolby Pro
Logic or Dolby Digital system.
Contact your Arcam dealer for more information.

power amplifiers to drive more speakers (e.g. those in other rooms or
tri-amplified speakers, etc).
Connect the extra power amplifier inputs to the
