Warning : Before connecting power check that the required supply voltage,
indicated on the back panel, corresponds to your local AC supply. If a
different voltage is stated on the type plate do not connect the amplifier to the
mains power, and seek advice from your dealer.
Connect the mains power using the enclosed mains cable.
Note : Always disconnect the amplifier from the mains power before
connecting or disconnecting any of the cables.

Loudspeaker outputs
Connect the left and right loudspeakers to the corresponding terminals. The
terminals can accept speaker cables terminated with 4mm banana plugs,
spade terminals, or bare wires. To connect bare wires unscrew the terminal,
pass the bare wire through the hole in the terminal bolt, and clamp the wire in
place by screwing the terminal back down.
Preamplifier outputs
The PRE OUT sockets provide a line-level output from the A20 preamplifier
stage which can be connected to another preamplifier, such as the Primare
P30 Processor. The level of this output is controlled by the volume control on
the A20.
The TAPE OUT sockets provide a fixed level copy of the currently selected
source, suitable for connecting to a tape recorder.

Source inputs
Connect each source to the appropriate source input, connecting the right
channel to the red socket and the left channel to the white socket.
To connect an analogue turntable with a moving magnet or moving coil
cartridge you will need an additional phono preamplifier such as the Primare
R20. The output of the turntable is connected to the R20, and the output of the
R20 should be connected to a spare input on the A20, such as LINE1.
A ground terminal is provided above the inputs sockets to allow you to provide
a direct ground connection for sources in order to remove hum loops.
