E Series – E100 Operating Instructions

Connecting To Your Amplifier: Inputs

The inputs are made via 3-pin XLR connectors, which are electronically balanced and should
be connected via a high grade twin core screened cable, as follows:
The amplifier is designed to operate with fully balanced equipment and ground loops or loss
of performance may be experienced if connected to unbalanced sources. If it is unavoidable
however, the following wiring should be used. The cable should still be twin core plus screen.
PIN1:
Screen - connected to the chassis of the unbalanced equipment - or left disconnected
at the unbalanced end.
PIN2:
Hot (signal +)
PIN3:
Cold (ground 0V)
NOTE: This amplifier is wired to the latest industry recommendations. PIN1 is connected
directly to the chassis/mains earth. If ground loops (mains hum) are encountered remove the
screen connection from the other end of the cable and leave it open circuit. If problems
persist, consult your dealer/supplier.
DO NOT TAMPER WITH OR ALTER ANY GROUND (EARTH) CONNECTIONS INSIDE THE
AMPLIFIER.
For bridged operation input should be made to channel A (or C) only and the rear panel switch
set for bridged mode for the appropriate pair of channels.
PIN1: Screen (see note)
PIN2: Hot (signal +)
PIN3: Cold (signal -)
