SETUP
Note: Before making any connections, ensure that all equipment is powered off and
unplugged to prevent the possibility of personal injury or equipment damage due to
electrical shock.
1. Position the amplifier in a location in which it can get adequate airflow around the
casing and ventilation holes. Do not connect the power cord yet.
2. Determine whether you will be using one or two stereo speaker zones or if you will
be using just a single, monophonic speaker zone. If you will be using stereo
zone(s), set the
Stereo/Bridge
switch to the
Stereo
position. If you will be using a
single monophonic zone, set the
Stereo/Bridge
switch to the
Bridge
position.
Connecting the Speakers
3. (Stereo configurations only) Measure the distance between the amplifier and the
speakers, taking into account the need to route the wire around furniture or other
obstacles. Cut two lengths of 2-conductor speaker wire to the measured length. It
is best to cut the wires longer than needed as any excess can be trimmed later.
4. (Stereo configurations only) Connect one end of each speaker wire to the
Speaker Output
five-way binding posts, taking care to connect the negative side
of the speaker wire to the negative (black) binding posts and the positive side of
the wire to the positive (red) binding posts. The easiest and safest method of
connecting the wires to the binding posts is to use banana plugs. If using bare
speaker wire, carefully inspect each connection to ensure that there are no stray
wire strands.
5. (Stereo configurations only) Connect the other end of each speaker wire to the
speakers.
6. (Stereo configurations only) If you will be using two stereo speaker zones, repeat
steps 3-5 for the second zone.
7. (Bridged/Mono configurations only) Measure the distance between the amplifier
and the speaker, taking into account the need to route the wire around furniture or
other obstacles. Cut one length of 2-conductor speaker wire to the measured
length. It is best to cut the wire longer than needed as any excess can be trimmed
later.
