 Connections

 Connecting speakers to your A-400Z

Your A-400Z has no special connection requirements; audiophile grade five-way binding posts are 

provided for speaker connections.

•  Always

 turn off the amplifier before connecting or disconnecting speaker cables or signal 

source interconnects.

•  Always

 verify that your speaker cables are firmly attached, and not shorted to each other or 

to any other cables, before powering up your A-400Z.

•  Always

 use high-quality speaker wire; 16-gauge or heavier.

• 

If you must use thinner wire, try to keep the length as short as possible.

• 

Be careful to wire all speakers “in phase” (the plus/red terminal on each speaker to the plus/

red terminal on your amp). 

• 

Try to use wires of equal length and gauge for both speakers in each pair (use the same gauge 

and length for both fronts, or for both surrounds; don’t use a long 16-gauge wire for one 

speaker and a short 10-gauge wire for the other). 

• 

If you use stranded cables, use care to avoid short circuits (from stray strands touching).

• 

If you are planning to bi-amp your speakers, make sure to remove the jumpers on the input 

panel of each speaker. Failure to remove these will damage your amplifier.

 Connecting an input source to your A-400Z

Connect a stereo input source to the Low Level Unbalanced Inputs on your A-400Z. 
The Master Volume control may be used to match the gain of the A-400Z to your other equipment 

if necessary. If you don’t need to adjust the gain, we suggest leaving this control in the fully 

clockwise position (turned fully to the right).
The High Pass Filter Switch applies an 80 Hz 12 dB/octave high-pass filter to the audio signal 

coming into the A-400Z. This filter affects the speaker outputs on the A-400A but does not affect 

the signal appearing at the Line Level Unbalanced Outputs. In a system without a subwoofer this 

switch should be left in the Full Range position.

 Connecting the Trigger Input and Trigger Output

The Trigger Input accepts a 12 VDC (nominal) trigger signal from another device via a standard 

1/8” mono plug. When the trigger is asserted, the A-400Z will switch On; when the trigger is 

removed, the A-400Z will return to Standby mode. The Trigger Output sends out  

12 VDC whenever the main power to the A-400Z is On (and NOT when it is in Standby mode) 

which can be used to switch on other units with trigger capabilities.
