Exposure 2010S Power Amplifier Extended Set-Up
Loudspeaker Compatibility
Although the Exposure 2010S Power Amplifier is able to drive almost any loudspeaker system, the best results will most
likely be achieved with speakers rated at 8 Ohms. For loudspeakers rated below 4 Ohms, the use of two Exposure 2010S
Power Amplifiers operating in Mono mode should be considered. See section on Operational Modes for further details.
Speaker Cable Compatibility
While the Exposure 2010S Power Amplifier is compatible with most types of loudspeaker cables, the type of cables used
can influence the sonic performance of your system. Please ask your Exposure dealer for advice on loudspeaker cable
compatibility and how to get the best from your Exposure 2010S Power Amplifier.
Note: The Exposure 2010S Power Amplifier is internally protected against damage from short circuits. However, no such protection is infallible, and damage may occur if
positive and negative speaker cables are inadvertently connected together.
Bi-wiring
The Exposure 2010S Power Amplifier is fitted with two sets of 4mm loudspeaker sockets for bi-wired connection of
loudspeakers. Another pair of speaker wires is required for this operation.
1. Ensure that the links at the speaker terminals between the high frequency and the low frequency are removed on both
loudspeakers.
2 Follow the diagram below for connecting a pair of loudspeakers in bi-wiring mode.
Please refer to the manufacturer of your loudspeakers for advice on the practicality and potential benefits of bi-wiring.

Caution
For a long and trouble-free life of your Exposure 2010S Integrated
Amplifier, please ensure the following:
• Do not short circuit the speaker terminals.
• Do not remove the cover of the Integrated Amplifier or dismantle
the case (except to install or change phono card).
• Protect unit against all forms of liquid. Never expose unit to dripping
or splashing, or place objects filled with water, such as vases, on the
unit.
• Do not operate the Integrated Amplifier in damp environment or
allow liquids to enter the unit.
• Do not attempt to bypass the mains fuse or replace the fuse with
one of a different specification.
• Do not place the Integrated Amplifier in a position which restricts
cooling airflow around its case.
• Do not use abrasive or solvent-based cleaning fluids on the
Integrated Amplifier’s case.
Failure to observe these precautionary measures may void your war-
ranty.
Operational Modes
The Exposure 2010S Power Amplifier can be operated in one of three different modes. These are:
Stereo Mode (Factory Default)
The Exposure 2010S Power Amplifier by default is selected to Stereo mode at the back of the unit. It operates as a
conventional stereo amplifier with each channel fully independent of the other. The majority of 2010S Power Amplifier
applications will employ this mode.
Mono Mode
When selected to the Mono mode at the back of the Exposure 2010S Power Amplifier, it operates as
a high current
mono amplifier.
In this mode,
both channels are combined into one single channel of twice the current rating.
Mono mode enables the Exposure 2010S Power Amplifier to drive low impedance speakers to high levels, with greater
accuracy and clarity.
Note: In Mono mode, the left input socket is only used. You need to purchase another Exposure 2010S Power Amplifier
to operate in stereo. See diagram for connecting a pair of loudspeakers in mono mode.
Bi-amping Mode
The Exposure 2010S Integrated Amplifier can also be used as a pre-amplifier for the Exposure 2010S Power Amplifier.
The Power Amplifier section of the Exposure 2010S Integrated Amplifier will still be operational, and can be used in
conjunction with the Exposure 2010S Power Amplifier in Stereo mode to provide bi-amping capabilities for suitable
loudspeakers:
1. Check your loudspeaker user manual for the wiring connections.
2. Connect the pre-out sockets on the Exposure 2010S Integrated Amplifier to the input sockets of the Exposure 2010S
Power Amplifier.
3. See diagram for connecting a pair of loudspeakers in bi-amp mode.
Your dealer or local distributor will be able to offer further advice.
