North Star MONOBLOCK, Руководство по эксплуатации

Страница: 8 / 10

of its output connectors correspond to your Monoblock Amplifier. If not, wire the cables so that the
appropriate output pin connects to the equivalent input pin.
2 SINGLE-ENDED INPUT
This RCA connector accepts a single-ended input from a preamplifier with single-ended (RCA)
outputs.
Select the Unbalanced input with the switch 3.
3 BALANCED, SINGLE-ENDED INPUT SWITCH
This switch allow to select the Balanced Input or Unbalanced Input.
4 REMOTE TURN-ON, TURN-OFF INPUT
The Monoblock Amplifier may be controlled by a “linked” North Star Design “Linestage” preamplifier
when the
trigger communication port is connected to the trigger port of the preamplifier.
Refer to Linestage Preamplifier Operating Manual for the proper operation.
5 SPEAKER BINDING POSTS
The Monoblock Amplifier is equipped with original WBT high-current binding posts for output
termination to a loudspeaker system. To take full advantage of the Monoblock sonic quality, we
recommend using high-quality speaker cable; ask your North Star Design dealer.
Caution!
NEVER connect the North Star Design Monoblock output terminals to any device other than a
loudspeaker.
NEVER short-circuit the amplifier's output terminals.
NEVER connect the output terminals of one amplifier to the output terminals of another
amplifier.
We recommend speaker wires be connected to the Monoblock via high quality spade lugs, either
soldered directly to the cable or crimped with extremely high pressure—or
both crimped and soldered.
Connect a + (positive or red) output post of the Monoblock to the + (positive or red) input terminal of
the appropriate loudspeaker.
Connect a
– (negative or black) output post of the Monoblock to the – (negative or black) input
terminal of the appropriate loudspeaker.
6 AC MAINS INLET AND AC MAINS SWITCH
Standard IEC power cords is provided with the Monoblock Power Amplifier. High current is supplied
to Monoblock when operating into low impedance loads. High quality power cords will improve the
sonic performances; ask your North Star Design dealer.
The North Star Design Monoblock Amplifier has been safety-tested and is designed for
operation with a three-conductor power cord. Do not defeat the “third pin” or earth ground of
the AC power cord.
An
AC mains switch is located adjacent to the power cord on the rear panel of the amplifier. This
switch may be used to disconnect the power supply from the AC mains without having to actually
unplug the amplifier from the wall outlet. If you plan to be away for an extended period, or have any
other reason to turn the amplifier completely off, you may use the
AC mains switch .
