Cinénova Grande Power Amplifiers
Cinénova Grande BR Rear Panel Overview
2. RCA Input:
Accepts low-level signal from any source. It takes 1.6V to
output the rated power.

1. Replaceable Fuses:
Each mono block has two (10 Amperes) fuses designed to
protect and monitor the voltage of operating rails (+/-). If a
fuse burns out you may replace it with the following fuse
size: 10A - 250V, 5mm x 20mm, mini fuse slow blow. If
fuses continue to blow check for shorts in the wiring
system.
3. Input Selector:
To maintain signal integrity Cinénova provides you with
an “Input Selector Switch”. This gives you (installer) the
option to select between RCA or XLR inputs.
4. Fully Balanced XLR Inputs:
We recommend the use of fully balanced XLR inputs in
cases when the distance between the Cinénova and the
audio source is excessive and susceptible to noise
interference. The XLR input is a true balance input. Both
conductors are isolated relative to ground. The XLR will
require a signal of 2.35 volts to output the rated power.
5. Three-way Crossover Switch:
A 3-way switch controls the operation of the output filter.
The amp can run in full-range, low-pass, or high-pass
mode to be used for different applications.

Variable Crossover 20Hz-5kHz:
Each monaural block features a built-in variable filter to
select the desired frequency range, with a slope of
12dB/Octave. The fully buffered filter has a range of 20Hz
when set to minimum to 5 kHz when set to maximum. This
V/R is inactive when crossover switch is in by-pass mode.
Each fuse carries its own fault LED indicator that
illuminates when the fuse is burnt.

We recommend that you use a high quality wire
constructed of fine, multi-strand copper 10-gauge and up.
Wire with a gauge of 16 may be used for short runs of less
than twenty feet. We do not recommend that you use any
wires with a gauge equivalent of 18 or higher due to the
power loss and performance degradation.
9 Main Circuit Breaker
.
The enormous amount of power generated
by the amplifiers requires a stable 120 or
240V connection.
To ensure proper operation,
because a proper power supply
translates to better performance. Most homes are wired
with 20A circuits, but there is a chance that the wall
receptors are rated at 15A. IF IN DOUBT, CONSULT WITH
AN ELECTRICIAN.
Your amplifier is supplied
with a heavy-duty 20A circuit breaker. If
power to your amplifier is interrupted, check
the circuit breaker on the rear of the unit. If
the breaker is in the off position you may
reset it to the on position to restore AC
power. If the circuit breaker automatically
trips to the off position.
we recommend a dedicated
20amp circuit breaker
A special heavy duty - 20 Amperes - AC cord is included
with every unit. Do not attempt to replace the AC cord with
lesser quality AC cords.
11. AC Input Connector
In order for the Cinénova Turn-ON to be controlled via
another source, connect the 12VDC trigger input to the
12VDC source output (polarity is not an issue). From your
source, 12VD should have over 20mA. Then set the
manual power switch to OFF and the circuit breaker to ON.
Now any time the Cinénova detects an incoming 12VDC
signal it will automatically power on.
