Connecting the Speaker Wires
Caution: Only make connections when the amplifier is turned off.
For best performance use high quality speaker cables. The binding post out-
puts on the back of the amplifier allow for a variety of ways to connect your
speakers to the amplifier (refer to Diagram #3 for options on connecting
speaker wire).
Connecting the Line Level Audio Inputs
Caution: Only make connections when the amplifier is turned off.
Connect the source component's (ie. CD player, VCR,etc) audio output jacks
to the corresponding Input jacks on the back of the amplifier. Make sure that
the left and right outputs are connected to the matching inputs.
Cascade Audio Outputs
The amplifier is equipped with line level audio outputs labeled "Cascade
Audio Outputs" (see Diagram #2). By using standard audio patch cables, you
can connect these outputs to the inputs of another amplifier. Up to 5
SpeakerCraft amplifiers can be daisy-chained together.
AC Power
Plug the socket of the AC cord supplied with the amplifier into the receptacle
on the rear of the amplifier. Plug the 3 prong plug directly into a 120V 60 Hz
wall outlet. Caution! Do not plug the amplifier into the preamplifier or
receivers switched or unswitched outlet. If you wish to have the amplifier turn
on once the preamplifier or receiver is activated, use one of the turn on
modes, voltage or audio.
See Diagram #2
for the location of the following.
Power Switch
The switch marked "Power" on the front panel of the amplifier will turn off all
amplifier circuitry no matter which turn on mode is selected. Refer to the
"Power Mode Selection" section for further information.
Active LED
When lit, the Active LED indicates that the amplifier is operating. Refer to the
"Power Mode Selection" section of this manual for further information.
Protection LED
When lit the "Protection" LED located on the front of the amplifier indicates
that either a fault in the wiring, the speaker, or the amplifier has caused the
amplifier to shut down.
Level Adjustment Screws
Level Adjustment Screws are used to adjust the level of the amplifier output so
that you can match the output levels of other amplifiers in your system. Use a
small slotted screwdriver to adjust the screws. If you have no other amplifiers
in the system it is best to leave the adjustments at their factory default position
(turned fully clockwise).
