Placement of the SCAMP
The SCAMP may be stacked along with your other audio/video components, or you can place it out of
sight within the equipment cabinet. However, take care to mount the SCAMP away from sensitive
low-level sources that might pick up hum radiated from the AC power cords connected to it.
Making Connections to the SCAMP
Audio Connections
Connect the left and right line output of your preamplifier or surround processor to the left and right
inputs of the SCAMP. (Due to the SCAMP's zero insertion loss, there is no signal degradation when
inserting the SCAMP into the signal path between a preamplifier and power amplifier.)
Connect the left and right outputs of the SCAMP to your power amplifier or other component. An
additional set of output jacks facilitates connecting additional amplifiers or other components. Both sets
of output jacks are paralleled directly to the input jacks.
Drawing # 1: Rear Panel Connections
AC Connections
Connect the supplied 14 AWG AC cord from the AC inlet of the SCAMP to the AC wall outlet.
Be sure that the wall outlet has enough current available to adequately power the equipment that the
SCAMP will control.
Connect the AC Cord from the electronic component that you want turned on first to OUTLET 1 of the
SCAMP. Next, connect the AC Cord from the electronic component that you want turned on second to
OUTLET 2 of the SCAMP.
Note: You may connect AC power strips to either or both outlets of the SCAMP providing the current
draw of the components connected to each power strip does not exceed 15 A.
