Trigger Connections

Audiolab 8300A has one pair parallel trigger connections at the real panel, can be activated 
by 8300CD’s or any other source’s trigger output. 8300A can also provide a trigger signal 
to another 8300A’s or any other amplifier’s trigger input. If you have an 8300 system, we 
advise connecting the triggers. This will enable all 8300 units to be brought in and out of 
standby along with the trigger connections. 

To connect to your control unit, you will need a cable with one end to match the trigger 
output of the control unit and other terminating in a 3.5mm jack plug. For Audiolab 8300 
series, this will be a 3.5mm to 3.5mm interconnect. 

Signal Input 

Balanced Input 

Balanced  connections  provide  greater  balanced  headroom  and 

improved S/N ratio. If your source unit has a dynamic headroom  

output uses the balanced connection. You need one XLR balanced 

cable per channel. The socket connects to the player and the plug 

normally connects to the amplifier. 

Unbalanced Input

If you cannot use the balanced input, connect a high quality stereo 

screened RCA phone lead from the unbalanced input of the 8300A 

to a suitable output of the source unit. 8300A has AUX1, AUX2, 

VIDEO, TUNER, CD, PHONO six signal inputs which may be used 

for connecting any line level source. 

source. 

Power AMP Input 

For driving the power amplifier input directly from an external source. 

Only operates when Pre-Power mode is selected. 

Signal Output

PRE-AMP OUT 1&2

Low  impedance  pre-amplifier  outputs  for  driving  external  power 

amplifiers, sub-woofers or signal processors. Pre-Amp outputs are 

switched off when integrated mode is selected or whenever amplifier 

is muted.

Mains Input

Before connecting the 8300A to the mains supply make sure that all the other 
connections to your system have been properly and securely made. Make sure the 
ON/OFF switch on the 8300A is switched off. Switch the mains supply off at the 
wall socket, and then, using the cable supplied, connect the socket on the back 
of your 8300A to an AC supply outlet. The 8300A is now ready for operation.
