When using binding post connectors, please make sure that insulation on cables is not removed too high. Insert the naked part of the cable fully so that no metal is visible. Cable clamps must be isolated to avoid the possibility of electric shock. When running the amp in mono-bridged mode, always use the middle two binding post connectors, paying attention to correct polarity.

+ATTENTION! If you notice naked cable endings on the binding post connectors, do not power up the amp because of the risk of electric shock.

4.1.2 Connecting to the mains

Always connect your EUROPOWER amplifier to the voltage specified on the rear of the device. Connecting the amp to an incorrect voltage can permanently damage your amp.

Before powering up the amplifier, double-check all connections and fully lower the gain setting.
