Connection Steps - CANARY AUDIO CA-303 Owner's Manual

CONNECTION STEPS

1. Place the CA-303SE in a rack, on a shelf or on the floor.
2. Turn off any associated components prior to connecting the CA-303SE.
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 CA-303SE. 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 CA-303SE. 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
CA-303SE 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 CA-303SE.
9. Bias the CA-303SE according to the instructions provided in the "Tube
Biasing" section.
