Connections
The 851W features both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA/Phono) output connections. For the best quality we recommend you use a balanced output
with pre-amplifiers that feature this connection (such as our own 851E Pre-Amplifier).
Before making any connections to loudspeakers, make sure all power is turned off and only use suitable interconnects (e.g. banana plugs). Ensure that
the positive (+) and negative (-) connections are matched. Your loudspeaker may have more than one pair of connecting terminals; LF (Low Frequency)
and HF (High Frequency). For single-wiring it is recommended to connect to the LF terminals. The metal strip connecting the low-frequency terminals to
the high-frequency terminals
must not be removed
(only to be removed for a bi-wiring system).
Unbalanced stereo connections
The diagram below shows the 851W connected to an 851E using the
Unbalanced Audio inputs via phono/RCA connectors, single wired to a
pair of loudspeakers.
Balanced stereo connections
The diagram below shows the 851W connected to an 851E using the
Balanced Audio inputs via three-pin XLR connectors, single wired to a
pair of loudspeakers.
When using unbalanced (phono/RCA) connections, the Left and Right
Input Type switches on the 851W must be in the ‘Unbalanced’ position.
Note:
In this configuration the 851W must be set to Stereo mode.
When using balanced (XLR) connections, the Left and Right Input Type
switches on the 851W must be in the ‘Balanced’ position.
Note:
In this configuration the 851W must be set to Stereo mode.
