Cinema Grand Editions

The Cinema Grand Þve channel power ampliÞer is available in two editions:

Signature 400~Þve

200~Þve

The Signature 400~Þve has twice the power output, and uses heavier output terminals compared to the 200~Þve. Each Signature 400~Þve is personally signed on the front panel by Bob Carver.

This manual uses illustrations of the Signature 400~Þve. The operational details, features, and connections to loudspeakers and preampliÞers are the same for both models.
