Connecting to the AC Mains Supply
Connect the socket on the AC Power cable to the Power inlet
1@
on the rear panel
of the
6 Power
. Now connect the cable to a suitable AC power point.
The mains power switch
1$
on the rear panel of the
6 Power
should be left on
for normal operation, except when left unattended for a long period when it
should be switched off or disconnected from the AC supply
.
Input Connection
Connect a stereo phono interconnect from the output of the preamplifier to the
6 Power’s
left and right inputs
f
,
g
. Be sure to observe colour coding of the
plugs to keep left and right channels correctly ordered.
Loudspeaker Connection
Fitting the speaker plugs
Check for polarity indicators (+ and -) on the loudspeaker cable and fit the
plugs provided. Observe any signal directionality markings indicated on the
cable. If an arrow is printed on the cable it should point toward the
loudspeaker. If additional or replacement speaker plugs are required for the
6
Power
ensure that the correct ‘BFA’ type are purchased.
Loudspeaker connection
Connect the left loudspeaker to the rear panel sockets
1)
(red speaker plug)
and
i
(black speaker plug) of the
6 Power
. Connect the right loudspeaker to
the rear panel sockets
a
(red speaker plug) and
b
(black speaker plug) of
the
6 Power
.
Dual outputs are provided for the convenient connection of bi-wiring speaker
cables. Fig. 4a shows a wiring schematic for a bi-wired system.
Bi-amplification
For convenience of connection in applications such as Bi-Amplification the
Chain outputs
d
,
e
allow more than one
6 Power
to be connected to a Pre-
Amplifier.
The Chain facility can be used with two or more
6 Powers
for Bi/Tri-amping by
connecting the Chain output of the first
6 Power
to the inputs of the next
6
Power
. Such a system provides the sonic benefits of totally separate power
amplification for the bass and treble units of the loudspeakers.
When adding additional
6 Powers
to a system, connect a quality RCA phono
interconnect from the Chain output RCA jacks
d
,
e
to the inputs
f
,
g
of
the new
6 Power
.
When the input connections to the new amplifier are complete, separate
connections may be made to the bass and treble units of the system
speakers. Fig. 4c shows a wiring schematic for a bi-amped system.
MC-Bus connection
Connecting the MC-BUS sockets
c
of the
6 Power
in an MC-BUS system
provides unified system power control. An MC-BUS loop is established by
connecting single phono cables from the MC-BUS output of one unit to the
MC-BUS input of another in a daisy-chain. Complete the loop by returning the
MC-BUS output of the final component to the MC-BUS input of the first (see
example system connections in Fig. 3).
With MC-BUS established you can control the power function of the system
from the front panel or remote control of the main
Cyrus
amplifier or Surround
Processor.
