by systems such as Control4™, AMX™ and Crestron™. For more informa-

9 Analogue Inputs
The unbalanced (RCA) analogue inputs accept signals from source compo-
nents with single-ended outputs.
Input 1 / phono
If you have a turntable you would like to use with the system, an optional
phono module is available from your Perreaux dealer. Once installed in
your éloquence 150i, the Input 1 connectors become your phono inputs,
and the phono options in the menu system become active.
Input 4 / Theatre
Input 4 is set as a home theatre loop (HT LOOP) straight from the factory
and bypasses the volume control. Please ensure the volume level of the
connected processor or receiver is suitably attenuated before selecting this
input.
10 AC Mains Input
The IEC standard AC mains input is used with the removable power cord to
supply your éloquence 150i integrated amplifier with power.
Prior to connection to the AC mains, please check the voltage label on
the rear panel to ensure that your amplifier conforms to the power supply
in your area. Never attempt to connect the unit to an incorrect voltage –
severe damage may result.
11 AC Mains Fuse
The AC mains fuse is user serviceable, and should always be replaced with
the same type and rating (see Technical Specifications, page 27).
Notes:
Fuses do not usually blow without a reason. Any doubts about fuse
failure should be conveyed directly to your Perreaux dealer.
Ensure your éloquence 150i is disconnected from the mains power before
attempting to change the fuse.
12 Ground Terminal
The ground terminal on your éloquence 150i is most often used for the
ground wire of a turntable, if you have the optional phono preamplifier
installed. Connecting the ground wire from your turntables tonearm to this
terminal usually minimises any hum or buzzing to which the turntable may
otherwise be susceptible. Your authorised Perreaux dealer can assist you
in handling this problem if it should arise.
