Installation
Positioning Your Audion
You will probably have in mind the location to place your Audion
but remember, The Platinum Hybrid power Amplifier gets warm
and needs a good circulation of air. The units should be placed in
a suitable environment to enable airflow. Allow approx. 50mm
clearance to the lid, avoiding covering the front or sides, this will
allow thermal conduction of the heat. A complete separation of the
units left and right on single shelving or stands will also be
acceptable. The main requirement being clearance for convection
Connecting
Your Audion is supplied with a power cord for your country of
operation. However we recommend connecting your input and
output cables prior to connecting the power cord.
First connect your audio input and output leads to the appropriate
input/output RCA connectors on the back of your Power Amplifier.
Left channel to the Black RCA connectors, Red to the Right hand
channel.
Next, connect the loudspeaker cables to your Audion. For all
Stereo models the left and right channels are marked by red/black
colouring and also ground & channel name; ie left, right etc. Your
loudspeaker cables should be of a suitable quality and connect to
the corresponding red/black binding posts of the loudspeaker. To
achieve the best from your Audion, we recommend that your
loudspeakers have an efficiency of 89 db or higher. All amplifiers
are supplied with an 8 ohm output
Finally connect the power cord to a mains electricity supply. Before
proceeding – Are all the connections fitted correctly and securely
tightened?
Finally Check again – make sure everything is correct.
