Input Connectors
The Reference 160S uses a fully balanced circuit topology and has a pair of balanced XLR input
connectors and a pair of single-ended RCA input connectors on the rear panel. The rear panel switch
must be in the appropriate labeled position for either balanced or single-ended use. Connect
Do not connect the balanced XLR input connectors and single-ended RCA input connectors at
the same time –connect one pair or the other the same way for both channels.
Output Connectors
Heavy-duty output terminals are provided on the rear panel for 4, 8, or 16-ohm speaker
impedance loads. Using high- quality speaker cables, securely fasten the (-) speaker lead
to the appropriate (black) terminal, then the (+) lead to the matching (red) terminal. It is
important sonically that your entire system be connected so that the audio signal arriving at
the speakers has correct, or ‘absolute’ polarity (i.e., non- inverted). Do not over tighten the
output terminal connectors on the amp (use a hex driver and tighten snugly -do not over
