Power Amplifier (& Powered Subwoofer) Connections - Ada PTM-6150 Operation & Installation Manual

Power Amplifier (& Powered Subwoofer) Connections
Audio Connections
The Cinema Reference's Audio Outputs are clearly marked in a white field on the back of the Cinema
Reference. ADA strongly suggests not using directional interconnects that lift the grounds. If you are
connecting the audio outputs to a six channel power amplifier (which will also power the subwoofer),
use the diagram below. This diagram includes ADA's critically acclaimed PTM-6150 Six Channel THX
Power Amplifier. While you may decide to vary the input arrangement if you are using a PTM-6150,
the following input arrangement will cause the amplifier's front panel LED display to spread outward
from Channel 3, the center channel speaker. If you are using a self-powered subwoofer, you will
connect the Cinema Reference's SUB Output directly to the subwoofer. If you are using a self pow-
ered subwoofer with the PTM-6150, you may opt to "Y" split the SUB output so as to illuminate chan-
nel six of the PTM-6150.
Amplifier AC Connections
The Cinema Reference incorporates a switched AC outlet which is rated at 10 Amps. This is powerful
enough for ADA's PTM-6150 Six Channel THX Power Amplifier. Several other power amplifiers could
also be plugged directly into this switched AC outlet. However, if the power amplifier is going to draw
more than 10 Amps (such as ADA's MPA-500 Five Channel THX High-Power Amplifier), you will want
to avoid using this switched AC outlet. To connect the power amplifier to the Cinema Reference, you
will need to use an EIC Male to EIC Female AC Cord. These AC cords are also used for computers
and computer monitors and are available in stores that support computer and AC products.
