CONNECTING MAINS POWER

Please refer to rear panel view on Page 4. The moulded IEC connector of the supplied mains lead should be plugged into the socket (15) on the rear of the unit first and then plugged into the mains supply. The Mains power switch (14) is on the rear panel of the Integrated Amplifier. This switch is normally left on. If the unit is likely to be unattended for a long period, switch it off and unplug the mains lead from the wall.

SIGNAL CONNECTIONS

Signal Input connections:

There are six Inputs (5 – 10) on your Kandy Integrated Amplifier in addition to the Tape Input (3). Except for the PHONO input (5), all other inputs are line level and will accept virtually all currently available source components. The PHONO input is factory set for Moving Magnet Cartridges to accommodate record players fitted with a MM phono cartridge. (This input can be set by Roksan or Roksan appointed service centres to Line Level input if so required.)

All the inputs use Gold plated RCA Phono Connectors and should be connected according to the standard convention – Right Channel – Red; Left Channel – Black or White.

Also in accordance with standard practice, the Upper row of Phono Sockets carries the Left Channel and the Lower row carries the Right Channel.

The Input Sockets are labeled with their legends upside down as well as the normal way up to assist you should you be connecting an input from a position in front of and above the amplifier.

MC Input Connections:

If you wish to use a Moving Coil cartridge, an in-line MC step-up transformer should be connected to the Phono Input. Alternatively a dedicated Phono Stage can be connected to a Line level Input (NOTE: If you wish to connect to the Phono Input, it must be set for Line level signal. See above). For advice and demonstration of ROKSAN state of the art turntable reproduction systems contact your authorised retailer.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For optimum performance it is recommended to use high quality inter-connect cables such as ROKSAN HDC-02A high definition analogue Cable.

LOUDSPEAKER CONNECTIONS

The right and left loudspeakers are connected to the amplifier via the rear panel binding posts (11) and (12) respectively. There are two basic types of cable –

•Figure 8 cable has two insulated conductors which lie parallel, either side by side, or spaced by insulation.

•Overall sheathed cable has both conductors insulated and enclosed in an overall plastic sheath.
