Connecting Speakers
The amplifier can power speakers with a minimum impedance of 4Ω. Using high quality two conductor speaker wire
connect your speakers to the binding posts on the rear of the unit.
Connect the HTA200’s left speaker terminals marked “L-” and “L+” to the corresponding “-” and “+” terminals on your
left speaker. Repeat the same process for the right channel.
Note:
Never connect the negative terminals together or to ground. The HTA200 is not designed to operate in a
bridged mode and attempting to do so may damage the amplifier.
Connecting Banana Plug Cables
1. Tighten the knob.
2. Insert the banana plug terminated cable into the
end of the corresponding terminal.
Connecting Speaker Wires
1. Strip about 3/8" of insulation from the end of each
speaker wire and twist the bare wires of the cable
together.
2. Unscrew the knob before inserting the bare wire into
the hole in the side of each terminal before tightening
the knob to secure the wire.
Connecting A Subwoofer
If you really want to feel the bass or just want to bother the neighbors you can add a subwoofer using the SW OUT
connection on the rear of the HTA200. This signal is full range and will send a mono summed signal that is control-
lable by the front volume knob. Using a single RCA cable you can connect to the line level input on a powered sub-
woofer or to any external subwoofer amplifier to power passive subwoofers.
Connecting Headphones
Headphones can be connected to the ¼" TRS connection on the front of the HTA200. This is great for listening to any
source and enjoying the classic warmth from the tube preamps. Plugging in headphones will stop any signal from
being output to the speaker output terminals or SW OUT.
Note:
To avoid damage to headphones or your hearing make sure to turn down the volume before plugging in your
headphones. Always turn down the volume knob before unplugging headphones to avoid accidental output to your
speakers or startling any cats napping nearby.
