Rear Panel Functions
Speaker Output Terminals
The 200 MkII is equipped with one set of output terminals per channel. All
terminals are clearly colour coded RED Positive (+) and BLACK Negative (-).
This polarity must be observed when connecting loudspeakers, i.e. positive
terminal of the 200 MkII to the positive terminal of the loudspeaker and negative
terminal of the 200 MkII to the negative terminal of the loudspeaker.
Caution! Never connect the amplifier’s output terminals to any device other than a
loudspeaker.
Please do not short-circuit the amplifier’s output terminals.
Never connect the output of one amplifier to the output terminals of
another amplifier.
Do not over-tighten the binding posts on your amplifier.
For more information, please refer to Chapter 7 “Maximising System Potential”.
Unbalanced Inputs
Accepts a standard unbalanced (RCA) input from a preamplifier or processor
with unbalanced outputs. The connectors are high quality gold plated sockets
which are highly conductive, corrosion resistant, and provide less potential for
corrosion induced distortion. The input connectors are clearly colour-coded,
indicated by a black ring for the LEFT channel and a red ring for the RIGHT
channel. Care should be taken to maintain channel integrity.
Refer to Chapter 13 “Specifications”, for detail on input sensitivity and
impedance.
Earth Lift Switch
This switch enables the user to isolate the internal signal earth of the amplifier
from the mains earth and is useful if system hum is a problem. Setting this
switch DOWN connects the internal signal earth to mains earth and is the normal
position. Setting to UP disconnects the signal earth from the mains earth.
