Never run the amplifier without speakers connected since that may damage the transformers. Speaker’s minus terminal should be connected to the speaker terminal marked as zero (0) and positive termi- nal should be connected to the terminal that corresponds to the speaker’s nominal impedance (4 or 8 ohms). The amplifier is optimized for these impedances. Higher or lower impedance will result in higher distortion or loss of power. Do not use a speaker with impedance lower than 2 ohms on either of the outputs. Make sure to prevent short circuit at the amplifier’s speaker terminals as that will damage the amplifier. Figure 3: Premise amplifier speakers connection NOTE: 4 ohms and 8 ohms speakers cannot be connected to the speaker terminals at the same time! Make sure your amplifier is properly connected to a high-current power receptacle. 3. WARNING. Always take care volume control is in the proper position. The amplifier will be fully functional after only a couple of minutes. However, as it warms up over the first 30 minutes of operation you may notice slight improvement in the sound quality.
