Connections
When designing our amplifiers we include features that allow you to
connect your system in various ways. The inclusion of features such as
Pre-Out and Speaker B connections mean that you can flexibly configure
your system depending on your requirements.
Basic connections
The diagram below shows the basic connection of your amplifier to a
CD player using Input 1 (Unbalanced) and a pair of loudspeakers.
Tape/Recording connections
The diagram below shows how to connect the amplifier to a tape recorder
or other source with a record and monitor connection.
Speaker B connections
The Speaker B connections on the back of the amplifier allow for a
second set of speakers to be used (i.e. speakers located in another
room). The Speaker A/B button on the front panel allows this second set
of speakers to be switched on and off.
Note:
When using two pairs of speakers, use speakers with a minimum
nominal impedance of 16 ohms.
Preamp Out connections
The Preamp Out sockets are for connecting to the input sockets of a
power amplifier or active subwoofer. The diagram below shows how to
connect the amplifier to an active subwoofer via the Line In inputs on
the subwoofer.
