POSITIONINGTHE UNIT

Place your amplifier on a level, firm surface.

Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near sources of heat or damp.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Do not place the unit in an enclosed space such as a bookcase or cabinet as both of these will impede air flow through the unit.

CONNECTINGTO A POWER SUPPLY

MAINS LEAD

The appliance is normally supplied with a moulded mains plug already fitted to the lead. If for any reason the plug needs to be removed,

it must be disposed of immediately and securely, as it is a potential shock hazard when inserted into the mains socket. Contact your Arcam dealer if you need a new mains lead.

WRONG PLUG?

Before plugging in, check that the plug supplied with the unit fits your supply and that your mains supply voltage agrees with the voltage setting (115V or 230V) indicated on the rear panel of the unit 2.

If your mains supply voltage or mains plug is different, consult your Arcam dealer.

This product must be earthed.

PLUGGING IN

Push the plug (IEC line socket) of the power cable supplied with the unit into the socket (POWER INLET) 1 in the back of the unit. Make sure it is pushed in firmly.

Put the plug on the other end of the cable into your power supply socket and switch the socket on.

STAND-BY POWER

For remote stand-by operation, the amplifier’s control power supply is kept powered up all the time the unit is connected to the mains supply. The front panel power switch powers down all other circuitry. Power consumption in this mode is less than 2W.

This means that even though the power switch is off, it may be possible to hear a slight residual hum coming from the mains transformer inside

the amplifier.This is perfectly normal. If the unit is to be left unused for an extended period, we recommend that it is disconnected from the mains supply by switching it off at the wall socket.

POWER AMPLIFIER CONNECTION

PRE OUT 456 – The recommended connection between the C30 pre-amplifier and your power amplifier depends on both the distance between the two and the type of power amplifier that you are using.There are three options:

1.If the cables to be used to connect the C30 to the power

amplifier are less than 3m long, we recommend connecting the

DIRECT sockets 6 to the input sockets of your power amplifier. On the P35 and P1, connect to the socket(s) labelled AUDIO IN.

If the cables to be used to connect the C30 to the power amplifier are 3m or longer, then the connection to use depends on the type of power amplifier you have.

2.If your power amplifier does not have balanced inputs (such as

the P35), use the BUFFERED outputs 5. On the P35, connect to the sockets labelled AUDIO IN.

3.If your power amplifier provides balanced inputs (such as the P1),

use the balanced outputs 4. On the P1, connect to the sockets labelled BALANCED AUDIO IN.

The buffered and balanced outputs are designed to drive longer cables than the direct output. Note that using the buffered outputs to drive the P1 does not degrade the signal and will in no way damage either piece of equipment.
