It is important that you connect your loudspeakers (outputs) and preamplifier (inputs) to the Plinius SA-
100 Power Amplifier correctly to ensure the amplifier is not damaged, and sounds it’s best with your
system.  Now that you have read and familiarised yourself with the connections on the back of the
amplifier as covered in the previous section, we will describe in detail the different ways in which you can
connect the amplifier to your system.

There are essentially four different ways that you can connect your system components to the Plinius SA-
100 Power Amplifier:

1.

 

RCA STEREO

2.

 

RCA BRIDGED MONO

3.

 

XLR STEREO

4.

 

XLR BALANCED MONO

RCA STEREO

Connect your preamplifier or input signal to the two RCA inputs at the top of the amplifier back panel.
Make sure you connect the red coded cable to the red RIGHT RCA input and the black (or white) cable to
the black LEFT RCA input.  Also make sure the RCA connectors are a snug fit and are inserted all the way
in.

Next connect your loudspeaker wires to the output posts on either side of the rear panel.  Connect your
right loudspeaker (ie the one on the right of you when seated in your normal listening position) to the right
output terminals, ensuring that the red positive (+) terminal is connected to the red terminal on your
loudspeaker.  Do the same with the black or negative (-) terminals.

Now turn the ACS switch fully clockwise so that it is in the RCA Stereo position.  It is now safe to switch
on your amplifier.
