2.3 First steps, switching on and off 

 
Right after arrival in your home the OVATION SA8.2 might be cold (depending on the weather 
outside  during  transport).  In  this  case  we  recommend  that  after  unpacking  and  placing  it  in 
your room you let it "acclimatize" without mains connection for at least one hour . 

 
Connect  the  power  supply  socket  (10)  with  a  suitable  power  cord  to  the  mains  and  set  the  mains 
switch (1) to on (push once). The unit performs a self test while the AMP logo scrolls into the display 
(2).  After  a  few  seconds  the  unit  will  switch  on  *).  The  mains  switch  has  a  fluorescent  ring  around. 
While the unit is operating this ring will light up in bright blue. When the unit is switched to stand by 
(see 3.2 SET OPERATING MODE) the ring will be dimmed but still softly lit. 
 
During this procedure you will hear clicks in short succession from the switching relays of the driver 
stage  and  supply  unit.  When  this  initial  check  is  passed,  switch  off  the  amp  at  the  mains  switch  (1, 
push once). Now the unit is ready to be connected to your hi fi set. 
 
*) Depending on previous settings it might be that the amp goes to standby after the initial self test. 
This is the case if previously one of the operating modes "auto", "remote" or "trigger" was selected. In 
this case press the button 3c in the middle under the display and select "permanent" using button 3d. 
Then press button 3c again to exit the menu. 
 
 

2.4 Connection of the pre amplifier 

 

Audio Signal 

 
The 

OVATION SA8.2

 is equipped with both an RCA-cinch and XLR input sockets (7, 8) which can be 

used as desired. Merely connect the pre amplifier with the relevant cable. Make sure that right and left 
channel are connected correctly. Input sockets are marked "r" (right) and "l" (left) 
 
 

Trigger Signal 

 
If  you  use  the  AMP  pre  mk2  as  preamplifier  the  trigger  Signal  is  sent  trough  the  AF  cable  with  no 
additional connection necessary. If you use other preamplifiers that are equipped with trigger outputs 
then connect the trigger input of the stereo (9) via a suitable cable to the preamp's trigger output. 
 
 

2.5 Connection of the loudspeakers 

 

IMPORTANT NOTES 
 
Do not connect any of the speaker terminals (5, 6) to case or input ground. This can damage 
your amplifier or the rest of your hi fi set. 
 
The  OVATION  SA8.2  is  a  very  powerful  amplifier.  It  can  deliver  up  to  60  Volts  peak  to  the 
loudspeaker.  So  do  not  touch  the  speaker  connectors  while  the  unit  operates.  If  you  want  to 
change or reconnect speaker cables we recommend that you switch the unit off before doing 
that.  Keep  little  children  or  pets  away  from  the  speaker  cables  and  connectors  while  the 
OVATION SA8.2 is operating. 

 
The OVATION SA8.2 is equipped with 2 pairs of output clip. Connect the "left" marked clips (6) to the 
left  speaker,  the  "right"  marked  clips  (5)  to  the  right  speaker.  Only  use  loudspeaker  cable  of  good 
quality and with sufficient diameter to connect your loudspeaker to the output clips. Take care of the 
correct  polarity  when  connecting.  The  red  marked  output  clips  must  be  connected  to  the  red 
loudspeaker clip or marked with a plus sign. Right and left channels must be the same polarity.
