Set-up the speakers
In this chapter we inform you how to connect your speakers to mains and your signal source. Ensure
that the mains switch on the backside is in position “OFF”. Only when your speaker is completely
connected (see chapters 6.1 and 6.2) you can take the device into operation by use of the mains
switch.
The speaker can be connected to every common pre-amplifi er (U
a
= 1 V ... 5 V; R
i
< 600 Ω).
6.1 Mains connection
Before start-up check the mains voltage state on the backside of the device. If your local mains voltage
does not match the specifi cation of the speaker, please refer to your retailer or direct distribution.
When the stated and your local mains voltage comply connect the mains connector of the speaker
to the socket with the included mains cable.
6.2 Cable connection
The input of the integrated amplifi er is electrically balanced. When your signal source also utilizes
balanced connectors, please use a cable wired as stated in the table:

When using a signal source with unbalanced outputs (RCA) you need to balance the connecting
cables. This avoids hum and other noise interferences. The table and the following fi gure show the
wiring.
