amplifier installation

mounting
The amplifier is one rack unit high (1u) and will fit into a standard EIA 19" rack. Amplifiers should not be
stacked directly on top of each other, we recommend a space at least 3" for the top and sides with 5" on
the back . When shelf mounted the height of the supplied feet is adequate. Rack mount tabs are included
in the accessory package.
operating voltage
WARnInG! A label just above the mains cable connector on the rear of the amplifier indicates the AC
mains voltage for which the amplifier is wired. Connect the power cable only to the AC source referred to
on the label. The warranty will not cover damage caused by connecting to the wrong type of AC mains.
ConneCtions
RCA Input/Output Connections
From an unbalanced source connect to the input of the Totem in-wall amplifier. For a mono LFE signal
only the right or left input needs to be occupied. In a 2 channel stereo application both the right and left
input are to be connected.
To incorporate a second in-wall subwoofer simply connect an additional rca cable from the output of the
first amplifier to the input of the second amplifier.
Connecting the Tribe Subwoofer Module
The Subwoofer module connections is made via the 2 gold plated binding posts. When connecting 1
subwoofer to the amplifier the (+) wire connects to the RED (+) binding post. The (-) wire connects to the
BLACK (-) binding post.
The TOTEM Tribe amplifier can accept (2) x TOTEM TRIBE IN-WALL SUB 8 or (2) x TOTEM TRIBE ON-
WALL SUB. The units are only to be connected in parallel. Both (+) wire are to be connect to the RED
(+) binding post of the amplifier and both (-) wire connect to the BLACK (-) binding post of the amplifier.
Do NOT connect multiple subwoofers in series.
The TOTEM In-wall Amplifier CANNOT accept multiple TRIBE IN-WALL SUB 12 in any configuration.
never connect either output terminal to ground or to some other output or input terminal.
Pay careful attention to speaker polarity; loudspeakers connected out of polarity degrade sound quality,
and may be damaged as a consequence.
