Connecting to extenal sources.
When the Quad amplifier is used with equipment other than as part of a 99
system, you should use an appropriate lead to connect to the RCA phono
input and the channel selection switch should be set to INPUT.
Note: The Quad 99 amplifier is capable of high voltage and current
delivery. You should only connect it to a source unit with a variable output
(volume control). On no account must you connect the amplifier to a
source unit with a fixed output.
Connecting Loudspeakers
Loudspeaker cables should be carefully prepared. The following sketches
show the preparation of a speaker cable for use with Quad power amplifiers
and loudspeakers. When stripping the insulation, be careful not to cut into
the wire. Make sure that you collect together all the strands of wire as stray
wires may cause shorting which could result in damage or cause a fire.
