The binding posts on ULTIMA 3 are designed to accommodate bare
wire, spade connectors and banana plugs.
Banana plugs:

with the binding post and push the connector confidently until it stops.

Connecting ULTIMA 3 to a preamp
3.0
First, ensure that ULTIMA 3 mono, and any connecting equipment, is
turned off. Any volume controls/attenuators should also be at their
lowest setting. Both ULTIMA 3 mono amplifiers need to be connected
the same way, RCA or XLR. Connect the preamp output to each
ULTIMA 3 mono left input denoted by a black band round the RCA
input. Your connected device must have preamplifier capabilities to
prevent damage to connected equipment.
Input
Please ensure there is sufficient ventilation around ULTIMA 3 at all
times. Avoid placing ULTIMA 3 in enclosed spaces, on soft surfaces,
near sources of heat and never cover its ventilation holes. For optimum
operation and ventilation leave some space around the unit.
