Bi-amping

Locking binding posts

Connecting a banana style

Do not ground the outputs

Plug it into a power source

If you wish to use a second power amplifi er to bi-amp, you can use the GCC as either the top end amplifi er or the bottom end amplifi er for the bass. If you have a GCC-100 we would recommend this be used on the top end (tweeter) of the bi-amp speaker. Use the largest amplifi er for the bass frequencies. Connect the second amplifi er to the Aux Out RCA connectors on the rear of the GCC Series Power Amplifi er.

These binding posts, on the rear panel of the GCC Control Amplifi er, will accept either spade or banana type connectors. To use a spade or forked connector, simply unscrew the binding post, place the tongs of the spade over the threaded binding post and tighten the outer barrel of the binding post. It is permissible to us a wrench to tighten the binding post down.

The banana style connectors should be inserted into the center hole on the rear of the binding post. The PS Audio binding post is a unique locking design for banana style connectors. You should not attempt to insert a banana connector into the GCC Control

Amplifi er’s binding post while the binding post is locked closed. To insert a banana style speaker cable connector, loosen the outer barrel of the GCC Control Amplifi er’s binding post, insert the banana connector and then tighten. Note that once this has been tightened, the banana connector is locked securely in place. Do not attempt to remove the banana connector without fi rst loosening the outer barrel of the binding post.

Make sure that neither the + nor the – terminals of the amplifi er come in contact with each other, or ground, or anything other than the speaker terminals when the amplifi er is on. This will shut the amp off and place it in a protection mode.

Plug the GCC Control Amplifi er into the power source using the AC power cable you selected. It is advisable to use as short a power cable as possible to the GCC Control Amplifi er. We do not recommend plugging the GCC Control Amplifi er into an extension strip or plug extender unless it is of the highest quality and heavy duty design, such as the PS Audio Juice Bar or device with similar properties.

Push the front panel logo to turn it on

Make sure the source equipment, like a CD player or tuner, are turned on. Then, press the front panel PS logo on the GCC Control Amplifi er to power up the GCC Control Amplifi er. There is a normal 2 second delay for the amplifi er once powered up.

At this point you should be ready to enjoy the benefi ts of the GCC Control Amplifi er and enjoy!
