6. Output Binding Posts:

The RED binding post is connected to the 

positive amplifier output. Connect to this post 

the (+) terminal on the loudspeaker.. 

The BLUE binding post is connected to the 

negative (-) output. Connect to this post the (-) 

terminal on the loudspeaker.

Never connect either binding post to an 

electrical ground!

The output binding posts provide three different 

interconnect options: banana plugs, spade lugs, 

and bare wire. Combinations may be used when 

bi-wiring.  Cables should be kept as short as 

practical and should never be terminated with 

connectors that may become confused for AC 

power connectors. Cables should be dressed 

away from input and power cables.

Only use Class 2 Rated Wiring. No other wiring is 

permitted for use.

7. Master Circuit Breaker: 

The Cubed series amplifier uses a magnetic-

trip circuit breaker to protect the amplifier. 

This breaker is not an on off switch and must 

be in the ‘ON’ position during the installation 

and normal operation. Use the front panel 

push-button power switch or an external 

control voltage to power-up or power-down 

the amplifier. Should the breaker trip, or switch 

“OFF”,  lower or remove the amplifier input 

signals. Remove the AC power by disconnecting 

the power cord from the amplifier for 20 

seconds. Switch the breaker to the ‘ON’ position. 

Reconnect the power cord, then power the unit 

up normally. The circuit breaker must be ‘ON’ 

at all times for the Cubed Series amplifier to 

operate.

8. A/C Power Input: 

An IEC-320 C14 power inlet provides for 

connection of an IEC-320 C13 equipped power 

cord.  Before connecting the power cord to the 

amplifier, check that the voltage rating on the 

data plate or ratings label conforms with your 

locality. With the circuit breaker ‘ON’ insert the 

power cord into the Cubed series amplifier, then 

plug the other end to an appropriate A/C outlet.

9. Remote Power Up:

When in External position, the Power On state 

is governed by voltage applied to IN terminals 

of the Remote Power Up connector. The front 

panel power switch must remain in the ‘ON’ 

position. “External Control Voltage” on page 

6 for instructions regarding connection and 

usage.

10.  Power Status Indicator:

Plugging in the power cord applies power to 

the amplifier. The status indicator will initially 

flash green. The number of flashes indicates the 

revision of the soft start circuit software. This 

puts the amplifier in Standby mode and the LED 

turns red indicating power is present.

Engaging  the front panel on/off switch initializes 

the startup sequence. During the soft start ramp 

up, operation the status led will turn orange 

when connected to 60Hz power or red when 

connected to 50Hz power. The Status LED 

switches to green when the ramp up sequence 

ends then turns off ten seconds later. Turning 

off the front panel on/off switch returns the 

amplifier to the Standby mode.

11.  Data Plate:

Unit specific information is printed here 

including model number, operating voltage, 

frequency, and serial number.
