Connections
The connectors and controls are clearly marked on the back panel of the amplifier.
Note the correct left or right channel orientation. The function and channel markings on
the rear panel correspond to the front panel controls and their signal paths.
3. The AC line input should be connected to an AC outlet with the power cable
provided with the amplifier.
5. The power switch can usually be left on when the amplifier is functioning correctly.
With the bias disabled the amplifier will draw negligible current and can thus be left in
“standby” indefinitely.
4. The fuse and voltage selector unit houses a 5x20mm slow-blow fuse and a voltage
selector cartridge. Ensure that the voltage, visible through a small window next to the
AC input, is set to the appropriate voltage for your country. When changing voltages,
ensure that the power cable is disconnected from the amplifier.

3. The MAIN POWER switch, once all appropriate connections are made, may be left on
as the
AMPLIFIER S5.5 draws a negligible amount of current when the BIAS is turned off.
4.The FUSE AND VOLTAGE SELECTOR houses a 5 X 20 slow blow fuse and voltage selector
cartridge. Should the fuse blow, contact a Coda dealer or call Coda directly. When
changing the fuse, or altering the voltage selection be sure this unit is disconnected from
it's AC power source.
5.The AC LINE INPUT should be attached to the power cable provided with the amplifier.
After making the appropriate connections insert the three prong safety plug into an
appropriate AC power source. Once the AMPLIFIER S5 is properly connected, the
power switch may be turned on and the LED on the front panel will light indicating a ready
state.

1. The unbalanced and balanced inputs should be attached to the
appropriate unbalanced and balanced outputs of a preamplfier either directly
or through a crossover or processor, as appropriate to the application.
2. The left output and right output should be attached to the left and right speakers
respectively.
WARNING:
There are no fuses on the amplifier’s outputs in order to cut down on
output impedance effects. Speaker protection is left to the manufacturer of your
speakers, as they would best know how to protect their product.
NOTE:
If the fuse in your amplifier blows, contact a Coda dealer or call Coda
directly before attempting to use the amplifier again.
