Outputs on the CPA 2500
You need to connect the outputs on the back of your pre-amplifier to a power amplifier in order to drive your loudspeakers.
There are three pairs of outputs, each of which will drive a 68
load. You can connect to either the XLR or RCA outputs
numbered 1, but not to both types at the same time.
connecting to your power amplifier if it has balanced XLR style inputs
1. Use XLR style connectors to connect Right O/P 1 to Right IN on your power amplifier, and connect Left O/P 1 to Left IN on
your power amplifier.
2. On your remote control press PRE and then O/P 1 to select output 1.
connecting to your power amp if it has unbalanced RCA style inputs
1. Use RCA style connectors to connect Right O/P 1 to Right IN on your power amplifier, and connect Left O/P 1 to Left IN on
your power amplifier.
2. On your remote control press PRE and then O/P 1 to select output 1.
if you want to bi-amp
Bi-amping is a technique where you use one amplifier to drive the loudspeakers’ woofers (low frequencies) and another to
drive the tweeters (mid and high frequencies).
1. Use XLR style connectors to connect Right and Left O/P 1 to your first power amplifier.
2. Use XLR style connectors to connect Right and Left O/P 2 to your second power amplifier.
3. Connect the outputs of your first power amplifier to your loudspeaker’s low frequency inputs.
4. Connect the outputs of your second power amplifier to your loudspeaker’s high frequency inputs. Remove any shorting links
in the speaker binding posts.
5. On your remote control press PRE and then OP 1/2 to select both outputs 1 and 2.
