2 Connect speakers
The I35 is designed to be connected directly to a pair of
loudspeakers.
Connect the red wire from each speaker to the red
terminal and the black wire from each
speaker to the black terminal marked –.
The terminals can accept speaker cables terminated with
spade terminals, banana plugs, 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 hand tight.

The I35 provides fixed-level and variable-level analogue
outputs on the LINE and PRE outputs on RCA connectors,
to allow you to connect to active speakers or an analogue
recorder.
Digital output
The I35 also provides a coax digital output on an RCA
connector.
