INSTALLATION
Open the carton box, take out the glass top and the Artera Stereo separately. Place the Artera
Stereo onto a sturdy shelf or table. Put the glass top on the lid of Artera Stereo after making all
connections.
Mains Connections
The Mains On/Off switch is on the real panel. Before connecting your QUAD equipment to the AC
mains supply, check and make sure the voltage marked on the back matches the voltage of your
supply.
When the amplifier is connected to a source unit (e.g. Artera Play CD player) using the 12V triggers,
this switch should be left switched on as the amplifier will be remotely switched by other source units.
Where the amplifier is not part of a trigger enabled system, the Mains ON/OFF switch should be
switched off when the amplifier is not in use.
Signal Input Connections
Balanced XLR Connections:
If you are connecting a QUAD Artera Stereo power amplifier to the QUAD Artera Play CD player,
we strongly advocate the use of the balanced XLR connections. XLR inputs use 3 conductors, one
for ground and two for the voltage plus and minus signals. In this way the signal transmitted to the
amplifier is thus 'cleaner' and free from earth-induced currents and other air-borne interference.
XLR interconnects should be of screened, twisted pair construction. Refer to your dealer if in doubt.
Unbalanced Connections:
If you cannot use the XLR inputs, connect
an RCA phono interconnect between the
unbalanced inputs on the Artera Stereo rear
panel with the matching output of the source
unit.
Input Selector:
When connecting the signal input, ensure the Input Selector is switched to the appropriate input.
• In the normal (extended) position the unbalanced RCA phono input.
• Press the selector in for balanced XLR input.
Trigger Connections
If you have an Artera system, we advise connecting the trigger. This will enable all Artera units to be
brought in and out of standby along with trigger inputs and outputs.
To connect to your control unit, you will need a cable with one end to match the trigger output of
the control unit and other terminating
in a 3.5mm jack plug. For Artera series
units, this will be a 3.5mm to 3.5mm
interconnect.
Connect the TRIG IN of Artera
Stereolifier to the TRIG OUT of Artera
Play or other Artera source unit, or any
other control unit having a 12V master
trigger out.
