CONNECTION GUIDE
The following section will guide you through the steps required to connect your Monster Power Amplifiers to the rest
of your system. Read through this section carefully before connecting.
This section has been broken into steps for each amplifier. For a complete system diagram see Appendix A.
INPUT CONNECTIONS
A.
The Signature Monster Amplifiers provide both unbalanced (RCA) type and balanced (XLR) type connections
for use with a variety of systems. Should your Receiver/preamp Processor have both types of connections,
Monster recommends using balanced connections for cleaner more accurate sonic reproduction. Please refer
to your Receiver/preamp Processor owners manual for the available connection types.
CAUTION: Never connect both balanced and unbalanced to the same input.
Damage to components may occur.
For unbalanced RCA type connections please follow Step 1A for each amplifier.
For balanced XLR type connections, please follow Step 1B for each amplifier.
