Connecting
CAUTION
–
Observe the volume of the master device
and the external player: With the Power
Hifi Companion, large input signals will
result in very high output volumes!
–
Before switching it on, make sure that the
MASTER/COMPANION switch is set to the
desired position (be absolutely sure to
refer to „Mode“ on page 17).
CAUTION
Risk of injury/damage!
–
Lay all cables so that they do not pose a
tripping hazard.
Connecting the speakers
The speaker connections from
the control unit to the two
speakers
(25)
and
(26)
are
designed as 4-pole SpeakON
plug connectors. The different
cable lengths ensure that the
cables cannot be mixed up.
Insertion:
1. Hold the plug with the cable up in front of the jack.
2. Turn the plug approx. 45° to the left so its pivots fit
into the jack.
3. Slide the plug all the way into the jack.
4. Turn the plug approx. 45° to the right until the
locking mechanism clicks into place. The cable is
now pointing up.
Disconnection:
1. Pull the chromed latch back and turn the plug
approx. 45° to the left.
2. Pull the plug out of the jack.

Digital source
You can connect the optical digital audio output of a
source device to the OPTICAL jack
(29)
. You will need
an optical cable with a TOSLINK plug for this. Your
source device requires either an optical 3.5 mm plug
or also a TOSLINK plug.
In companion mode, the optimal input is intended for
applications in connection with professional sound
projection technology (see „Mode“ on page 17).
USB Sound Card
The POWER HIFI features an integrated USB
sound card for audio output from a PC. To do
so, connect the PC to the USB jack
(19)
via
a USB cable (USB A to Micro B). You can find
information about playback from the PC in
„USB Sound Card“ on page 24.
Via this USB jack, you can also load software
updates to your POWER HIFI (see „Software Update“
on page 26).
