  • Page 8 By connecting a processor with a remote trigger signal to these terminals, the P10 can be put in and out of standby/mute by the processor to which it is connected. When in standby/mute the amplifier draws less current and will operate at minimum temperature. The output relays are also open, disconnecting the loudspeakers.

    (slots in the lid and base) are not covered or restricted in any way. The Plinius P10 design incorporates a very high level of mechanical de-coupling of the input and output. It can however still be influenced by acoustical feedback in the operating environment. The use of acoustic cones, or a suitably spiked amplifier stand or table, may further enhance the performance of this amplifier.

    If using single-ended or RCA inputs, connect your preamplifier to the RCA inputs on the back of the Plinius P10. Make sure you connect the red coded cable to the red RIGHT RCA input, and the black (or white) cable to the black LEFT RCA input. Also make sure the RCA connectors are a snug fit and are inserted all the way in.
  • Page 12 Plinius P10 Power Amplifier. WARM-UP PERIOD You will find that the Plinius P10 will become noticeably ‘purer’ in sound after being on for a period of time. We usually recommend waiting at least 24 hours before expecting the best quality of sound reproduction from your amplifier.
