PLACEMENT AND VENTILATION  

Ventilation through and around your Plinius CD

LAD Preamplifier should be kept unimpeded, so ensure

that the heat vents (slots in the lid and base) are not covered or restricted in any way.

The Plinius CD

LAD design incorporates a very high level of mechanical de-coupling of the input and

output.  However, it can still be influenced by acoustical feedback in the operating environment.  The use
of acoustic cones or a suitably spiked preamplifier stand or table, may further enhance the performance of
this preamplifier.  Consult your PLINIUS

PLINIUS

PLINIUS

PLINIUS dealer for further advice if required.

MAINS VOLTAGE CONNECTION

Firstly, check that the mains supply voltage printed on the rear of this preamplifier is similar to the mains
supply voltage in your area.  If in doubt, please consult your PLINIUS

PLINIUS

PLINIUS

PLINIUS dealer.

Mains supply power connection is via the supplied plug-in lead.  A standard IEC socket connects the
mains power at the preamplifier end, while a local mains plug is required at the wall end.

The wiring code used inside all Plinius product is:

Green to Earth/Ground

Green to Earth/Ground

Green to Earth/Ground

Green to Earth/Ground
Blue to Neutral

Blue to Neutral

Brown to Phase/Live

Should a ‘local’ plug need fitting to the wall end of the lead, ensure that a suitably qualified service
technician wires the plug correctly.

IMPORTANT:  DO NOT POWER UP YOUR PREAMPLIFIER UNTIL YOU

HAVE CONNECTED YOUR INPUT/OUTPUTS CORRECTLY
FOR YOUR SYSTEM, (AS EXPLAINED IN THE NEXT
SECTION).
