1. MAINS SWITCH

The heav y-dut y rocker switch in the centre of the panel turns the Mains/Line Power to

the amplifier ON or OFF. The amplifier draws a moderately high current when switched on, so it is not good practice to rapidly turn the Mains switch on and of f repeatedly.

2. INPUT TERMINALS

The input terminals for your Plinius Anniversar y Integrated Amplifier are easily accessible along the top of the rear panel, with the right channel (red) inputs along the top. The phono inputs are suitable only for low level input phono turntables, while the rest are all ‘line level’ inputs, for use with unbalanced signals from line level source components such as CD players, tuners, etc. Consult your Plinius dealer for fur ther advice if required.

3. CD XLR INPUT TERMINALS

Below the Line Out and Trigger Connectors are an additional set of ‘line level’ XLR balanced inputs for use with source components that feature XLR balanced outputs. Balanced signals are carried via a three way cable.

The XLR pin configuration used in all Plinius product is:

PIN 1 to GND

PIN 2 to +Signal

PIN 3 to -Signal

NOTE: Because of the way our XLR and balanced inputs are configured it is not possible to use both XLR and RCA at the same time.
