Banana plugs can also be used to connect the speaker cables to the loudspeaker binding posts. Banana plugs are not available on the 230 VAC model.

Caution! DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN the binding posts. The innovative design of these binding posts provides more leverage; hence, high-contact, tight pressure connections are achieved when finger-tightened.

DO NOT FORCE the binding post “wings” over a bent or over- sized connector. Doing so may damage the binding post.

Power Save Mode

Switch

The rear panel of the Nº532 has two trigger connectors – one input and one output. The trigger input can receive a 3-12V DC signal from a connected component. The trigger output passes through the trigger input signal, enabling a daisy-chain of amplifiers to be controlled by a single trigger signal.

The triggers enable the power amplifier to be automatically powered on or put into Standby or Power Save mode, by the state of other devices in the system. The Nº532 can also affect other power amplifiers in the same manner.

Receiving a trigger signal causes the Nº532 to change its power state. If the Nº532 is powered on, then 0V on the trigger signal puts the amplifier into Standby or Power Save mode. Conversely, an amplifier in Standby mode is powered on when 3-12Vdc is received on the trigger input.

The Power Save Mode switch on the rear panel enables the energy-saving mode.

•When set to ON, the amplifier enters the Power Save mode when the amplifier power is turned on. The Standby button switches the amplifier between the Power Save and On modes.

•When set to OFF, the amplifier enters Standby mode when the amplifier power is turned on. The Standby button switches the amplifier between the Standby and On modes.

When the Power Save mode is active, AC power is only connected to the low-voltage power supply, communication circuits, and control circuits. Therefore, nonaudio functions such as ML Net and Link2 are active, but the audio circuits are NOT powered. This means that there may be a small delay before the amplifier is fully operational when taken out of Power Save mode.
