When estimating the length of loudspeaker cable, provide sufficient to
enable access and tidy securing. Some cable, is quite heavy and you should
be careful to place your cables so that they do not cause undue strain on the
binding posts of the amplifier or loudspeaker.
Note: Please ensure that all cables used with Quad equipment are
appropriate to the task and are correctly terminated. For safety reasons
Quad equipment is designed not to accept 4mm connectors.
Phase
Make sure that both channels are connected in phase. The positive (red)
output terminal of each channel should be connected to the positive (red)
terminal of the speaker. Special care should be take when bi-wiring as phase
becomes critical, (see page 12 for further details).
A note concerning placement
When installed in a domestic system at the base of a 99 Series equipment
stack, the amplifier will be perfectly satisfactory provided there is sufficient
ventilation.
If you are likely to use the amplifier for extended periods at extremely high
volume levels, it may be advisable to install the units side by side in free air.
To do this you will need 1 metre long AMPBUS cables which are available
from your dealer or Quad. The method of connection remains unaltered.
Please ask your dealer’s advice.
Connecting the 99 Stereo Amplifier to the Mains Supply
The power supply input is via an IEC mains connector and an appropriate
mains lead is supplied. Connect the mains lead to the amplifier and then to
the wall socket ensuring that the mains switch on both amplifier and wall
socket are switched off. They should stay switched off until the unit is fully
installed. See page 4 for further details.
Final Connections
After checking that all leads are correctly installed and the selector switch is
correctly set, you can switch on the mains supply to the preamplifier and the
amplifier.
