Installation and cooling 

 
The  unit  can  become  hot  depending  on  demanded  output  power  /  environmental  temperature. 
Therefore it is important, that the cooling air can flow unhindered into the air inlet in the bottom and 
flow out through the holes in the rear panel. Direct exposure to sunlight is not recommended because 
this will heat up the unit. 
 
 

1.4

 

Connection to mains 

 
Connect  the  unit  to  the  mains  connector  (30)  by  using  the  power  cord  which  is  (in  some  countries) 
delivered together with the unit. Make sure that mains voltage is according to the value printed on the 
rear panel of the amp (near mains connector).  

 
CAUTION:

 Keep the unit switched off until all audio connections are made.

Connecting analogue signal sources 

 

High-level sources 

Connect the outputs of your signal sources to the inputs (17-19). The upper row is for left channel, the 
lower row is for right channel. 
 

Turntable 

Connect the output of your turntable with phono inputs (16) and connect the chassis ground wire to 
the ground connector (14). The C 5.2 phono input is suitable for MM cartridges as well as for high and 
medium level MC cartridges. Sensitivity can be adjusted (see 2.4.1)

Connecting digital signal sources 

 

Inputs SPDIF/ (RCA cinch, optical) 

Connect the outputs of your digital sources to the corresponding inputs of the C 5.2 (24, 25).
