The identified conductor is usually used for the positive (+/red) connection and the other
for the negative (-/black) side.
Note: When cutting speaker wire, ensure that the length of each stereo pair is the same.
This ensures that the overall impedance of each paired channel is identical. If there is any
excess speaker wire, it should not be coiled, as it could create an antenna to receive stray
radio signals. Instead, snake the excess wire back and forth.
RCA Cables
You will need seven single RCA cables to connect the preamp outputs on your preamplifier
to the inputs on this amplifier. In most cases, ordinary RCA cables are sufficient. However, if
there is a significant distance between the amplifier and the preamplifier, it is
recommended to use RCA cables manufactured using shielded RG6 or RG59 cable.
Trigger Cables
This amplifier features a low voltage trigger input, which can switch the amplifier from
standby mode into full power on mode whenever the trigger signal is detected. The trigger
signal consists of a low-current, low-voltage signal (between 3.3 and 24 VDC) applied to
the input, which is carried between components with a cable that terminates in a 3.5mm
TS plug.
REMOTE POWER ON
This amplifier features a trigger input, which is used to switch the amplifier between
standby mode and full power on mode. The input is a 3.5mm TS jack that accepts a voltage
level from 3.3 to 24 VDC. Some source devices feature a trigger output, which can be used
to trigger the amp.
If your source device does not contain a trigger output, but does have a switched AC
outlet, you can obtain a trigger adapter, which consists of an AC adapter with a 3.5mm TS
plug on the end of the cord. This adapter can then provide the necessary trigger signal
whenever the component it is plugged into is turned on.
