CONNECTING

When designing our amplifiers we have tried to include features that allow you to connect your system in various ways. The inclusion of features such as Pre-Out and Speaker B connections mean that you can flexibly configure your system depending on your requirements. The following diagrams are designed to make connection easy.

Basic connection

The diagram below shows the basic connection of your amplifier to a CD player and a pair of loudspeakers.

Tape connection

The diagram below shows how to connect the amplifier to a tape recorder or other source with a record and monitor connection.

Please note that either of the tape loop outputs can be used (as they are both the same signal in parallel).
