by systems such as Control4™, AMX™ and Crestron™.  For more informa-
tion, please contact your dealer and ask about home automation systems.

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.
