8000Q Connections
CD, TUNER, AUX, VIDEO IN, TAPE 1 IN, TAPE 2 IN
The six inputs may be used for connecting any line level source.
VIDEO OUT, TAPE 1 OUT, TAPE 2 OUT
Three sets of record outputs for connection of up to three stereo
audio recorders, e.g. tape recorder, CD recorder, audio
recording input of VCR ,DVD, MP3, MiniDisc recorder, etc.
PRE-AMP OUT 1 & 2
Low impedance (100 ohm) pre-amplifier outputs for driving
external power amplifiers, sub-woofers or signal processors.
Long cables may be used if required. Pre-amp outputs are
switched off when integrated mode is selected or whenever
amplifier is muted.
GROUND
Use only if phono pre-amplifier and turntable are used and
both are Class II double insulated (no earth connection). In this
case the ground terminal can be connected to the metalwork of
these units to eliminate residual hum. The ground terminal
must not be used as a safety earth. If in doubt consult your
dealer.
Running In the 8000Q
(
Before first use, run the 8000Q for a few hours set either
to mute or with the volume control turned to minimum.
This enables the components to 'burn in'.

Input
For connecting a pre-amplifier or other line level source. Do not
connect directly to a CD player or other source unless the source has
its own fully adjustable volume control.
Load
Connected in parallel with the input. Use to connect a second power
amplifier, either to bi-amplify or to run remote loudspeakers.
Loudspeaker Terminals - 8000P
Each channel has two sets of loudspeaker terminals connected in
parallel. The second pair is to facilitate bi-wiring, etc.

There are two sets of loudspeaker terminals connected in parallel.

Good Practice
(
Use good quality screened interconnects for signal connections
(
When running long connections between pre-amplifier and
power amplifier, ensure the pre-amplifier has a low output
impedance (<600
and use low capacitance cables.
(
Never run long signal cables close or parallel to mains cables.
(
Loudspeaker cables should be low resistance cables designed
for audio use - not general purpose 'bell' or 'zip' wire.
Running In
(
Before first use, run power amplifiers for a few hours with the
source equipment set to mute or the volume control turned to
minimum. This enables the components to 'burn in'.

Multiple Combinations of Audiolab Power Amplifiers
Typically, for bi-amplifying, one would use two 8000P or four 8000M amplifiers.
However, the 8000M and 8000P can be used together in a bi-amplified stereo
configuration where two 8000M amplifiers drive the bass channels and one 8000P drives
the treble channels. Each channel should have the same configuration of amplifiers.
Both the 8000M and the 8000P can be used in conjunction with the 8000S integrated
amplifier for multi-amping.
Combinations of amplifiers in a multi-channel system should have the same gain and
phase characteristics or imbalance will result. We recommend the use of Audiolab
amplifiers throughout such a system. Current Audiolab amplifiers are gain and phase
compatible with previous models.
When not in use, the power amplifiers should be switched off.
