CONNECTIONS
Rear Panel
1.
Audio Signal Connection Input Jacks:
Use these jacks to connect analog audio signal RCA
interconnects or XLR interconnects from your components to the amplifier. The audio interconnects should be
connected to the proper input output jacks for each unit.
Note: Be sure to observe the proper polarity, i.e. the
right channels of the amplifier are connected to the corresponding right channels of the component, etc.
For Inputs marked I and II, you have option of either using XLR or RCA connectors.
For inputs marked III and IV, RCA connectors need to be used.
2.
Output Jacks:
Use these RCA connections to send an output analog signal.
For Outputs marked REC, the right and left output signal can be used for recording. The output signal is a fixed
signal from the source.
For the output marked SUB, the output signal can be used for a powered subwoofer. The analog signal is a
variable volt output. Please note, that if your subwoofer has the proper connections, you can use your speaker
outputs to run your subwoofer. FYI, many of the high end subwoofers will only connect with the speaker posts.
3. Speaker Terminals:
Your amplifier has two output channels, the Right Output and the Left Output. Each
output channel is designed to handle one speaker. Simply connect the "negative" or "-" speaker lead to "0" post
and the "positive" or "+" speaker lead to 4 or 8 ohm post, as required (check the impedance of your speakers
and connect them to the correct ohm post). Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wire is correct, that is the
black, "-", or negative speaker terminal, is wired to the "0" terminal on the Fusion F35 and the red, "+", or
positive speaker terminal is wired to the "4"or "8" ohms. If these wires are reversed (reversed polarity), the
sound will be unnatural and will lack bass (out of phase).
4. Master Power Switch:
In the On position the unit will be in standby, if the switch is in the off position, the
unit will be totally shut down.
5. AC Power Connection and Fuse Holder:
It is suggested to place the master power on-off switch on
the panel of the Fusion F35 in the "Off" position before connecting the power line cord to AC power. The Fusion
F35 amplifier must be connected to a wall AC power receptacle, or a similar heavy-duty source. Avoid the use of
extension cords. If they must be used, use 14-gauge or heavier cord. The power cord on your Fusion F35 has a
standard three-prong grounding plug to provide maximum safety when it is connected to a ground wall
receptacle. If there is any question regarding the safety of grounding procedures, be certain to seek competent
help with the installation. In the upper half of the IEC is the fuse holder with an extra fuse. When replacing the
fuse, make sure that your Fusion F35 unit is unplugged from the wall. To replace the fuse, pull the cover off as
if you were pulling a tray straight off a table. For 110 - 120 VAC (Household AC current) a 6.3 amp slow-blo fuse
and for 200-240 VAC use a 3.15 amp slow-blo fuse.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Use the best available speaker wires and interconnects between your equipment. Our
experience has been that a set of top quality cables hooked up to speakers and CD players can improve the
sound.
