1LOUDSPEAKER BINDING POSTS (OUTPUTS):

*Provide audio output. Two pair of custom-made, high-current Cardas binding posts labeled + (positive) and - (negative) are included.

*These binging posts are designed to facilitate high pressure, high contact area connections without the use of tools such as nut drivers. A simple finger-tightening actually yields higher contact pressure than traditional hex binding posts. There is no need to exert unusual effort when tightening.

*CAUTION!

NEVER connect power amplifier outputs to any component other than a loudspeaker. NEVER short-circuit power amplifier outputs.

NEVER connect power amplifier outputs to another power amplifier's outputs. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN the A 306 binding posts. Tight, high-contact pressure connections can be achieved with figer-tightening.

DO NOT FORCE the A 306 binding post "wings" up and over a bent or oversized connector. Doing so may result in binding post damage. If the connector obstructs "wing"-turning, slide it into place when the binding post opening provides a snug fit. Then, use quarter-turns to tighten the connection as needed.

2POWER INPUT ( AC IN):

*Connect to an AC power supply using the included power supply cord.

3DC TRIGGER INPUT TERMINALS:

*Provide DC trigger control. One 3.5mm mini-jack is available to receive 12V DC signals from a connected component. Toggling the connected component between on and standby will toggle the A 306 into and out of standby.
