TERMINATION QUALITY

Qualit y of the connections must be examined to ensure that high-per formance,

t rouble -free operation is enjoyed. Check that the connections are tight but do not

over tighten. If bare wires are used make sure that no loose st rands of wire shor t

across the other terminals or the amplifier chassis. When using plugs such as bananas, be sure to use good qualit y plugs with a firm fit.

BI-WIRING

Bi-wiring uses t wo pairs of loudspeaker cables for each channel loudspeaker. You will notice that the rear panel of your Anniversar y Integrated Amplifier has t wo pairs of output terminals for this purpose. When bi-wiring, always connect the terminals

positive (+) to positive (+) and negative (–) to negative (–). Be sure to remove any jumpers that may be fit ted to your loudspeakers.

PHASING (OR POLARITY)

It is impor tant to achieve good stereo imaging in your listening room. By obser ving the wiring inst ructions above, each power amplifier/loudspeaker combination should

be in phase. If you experience poor stereo image and/or a lack of bass, check that the loudspeaker wiring has been connected correctly. If in doubt, consult your Plinius dealer for advice.

Naturally it is also important to make sure all the leads carrying signals for the RIGHT channel loudspeaker are connected to the RIGHT input to the amplifier from your preamplifier or

CD player etc. Signals for the LEFT channel should be wired in a similar fashion.
