Located in a small drawer below the
MAINS/LINE RECEPTACLE is the
MAINS/LINE FUSE. The drawer can only
be opened when the mains/line cord is
removed See the relevant section for
more details on replacement fuses.

LOUDSPEAKER OUTPUT TERMINALS
The 200P is equipped with two double
sets of output terminals per channel to
enable easy hook-up for bi-wiring of
loudspeakers or additional loudspeakers.
These are high quality gold plated
terminals. All terminals are clearly
marked and colour coded RED Positive
(+) and BLACK Negative (-). This
polarity must be strictly observed when
connecting up loudspeakers, i.e. positive
terminal of the 200P to the positive
terminal of the loudspeaker. negative
terminal of the 200P to the negative
terminal of the loudspeaker. Good
quality, preferably gold plated spade or
banana type terminals are recommended
together with a high quality loudspeaker
cable.
The loudspeaker leads, for both left and
right channels should be cut to equal
lengths and be as short as possible. This
is to maintain uniform resistance at the
lowest possible level. If the installation
demands that the 200P be closer to one
loudspeaker than the other, avoid neatly
coiling any excess loudspeaker cable as
this can create inductance and may
affect high frequency signals. Always
ensure connections are clean, firm and
tight.

NOTE : You will also find on the rear panel
written information and relevant precautions.
Read and observe the information to ensure
your safety and trouble free operation from
your Perreaux 200P
.
CONNECTIONS
Connect your loudspeakers and preamplifier
to the 200P by following the numbered code
on page 3 & 4.
Follow the sequence given in the next
section, INSTALLATION & OPERATION
PROCEDURES. This section incorporates
all the information in the various areas of this
manual to assist installation.
When connecting the 200P to auxiliary
equipment terminate the interconnect cables
with a red plug for the right channel and
white, black or blue for the left channel.
Terminate speaker cables using red for
positive (+) and black, white or blue for
negative (-).
These are the most commonly accepted
colour coding combinations in use
internationally to help maintain channel and
phase integrity (i.e. left to left, right to right,
positive to positive, and negative to negative).
After making all the connections, lay the
leads and cables out in such a way so that
loudspeaker leads are well away from the
interconnect cables, and both are well
separated from mains/line power cables.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
PROCEDURES
Position all the separate components of your
system close enough to your 200P to avoid
having to stretch or extend any of the
interconnect cables. Always make left and
right channel connections while viewing the
equipment you are connecting from the front.
This will help ensure channel continuity
throughout your system. Avoid errors by
adopting a systematic approach when
connecting your system together. Make all
connections logically and carefully.
Note : Always switch off your 200P and
ensure that the volume control on your
preamplifier is set to zero before making any
connections or alterations.
A recommended sequence of connection is
as follows :
-
Connect your loudspeakers to the output
terminals (7) of the 200P. Be careful to
maintain channel integrity, i.e. left to left,
right to right, and phase integrity, positive
(+) to positive (+), and negative (-) to
negative (-).
- With the power switch (5) turned off,
connect the output from your preamplifier
to the 200P input sockets
(2
or
3). Ensure the position of the input
configuration switch (4) is set for the type
of interconnect cable being used i.e.
balanced or unbalanced.
- Try to keep all inter-linking cables and
loudspeaker leads as far apart as
possible and well away from all
mains/line cables.
