Connection Steps - CANARY AUDIO 300B Owner's Manual

CONNECTION STEPS

1. Due to the heavy weight of the units, we strongly recommend that the
Reference One should be placed on the ground.
2. Turn off any associated components prior to connecting the Reference
One. This minimizes the chance of momentary electrical surges disturbing
your system.
3. Neatly arrange and organize wiring to and from the Evolution amplifier and
all components. Separate AC wires from audio cables to prevent
hum or other unwanted noise from being introduced into the system.
4. Install the vacuum tubes according to the instructions provided on the
following page of this owner's manual.
5. Connect the outputs of your preamplifier or any audio source equipment
to the inputs on the back of the Reference One. Be sure to match up the
left and right conductors appropriately.
6. Connect the loudspeaker cables to the loudspeaker binding posts on the
back of the Reference One. Use only the binding post (4 or 8 ohms) that
matches the impedance of the loudspeaker.
Be sure to connect the polarity of the speaker cables correctly. Match the
positive (red) and negative (white) binding posts to the corresponding
speaker connections.
The custom made binding posts are capable of accepting speaker cable
with spade lug, banana plug, pin connector or bare wire.
7. With the power switch in the OFF position, attach the power cords to the
Reference One and connect them to your AC outlet.
Use the supplied AC power cord or an aftermarket cable. For optimum
results, we recommend the use of Canary Nickel PW-ONE power cable.
8. First, turn on your source equipment. Then, turn on the Reference one.
9. Bias the Reference One according to the instructions provided in the
"Tube Biasing" section.
