Once your new Trio is unpacked, you’ll need to fi nd a convenient place to set it.

Once you have decided on the location and chosen the appropriate power cables, you are ready to install the Trio.

We would recommend that you power the entire system down before attempting to connect either the preamplifi er or Control Amplifi er.

Insert the Trio into the system. Make sure the rear mounted power switch is in the off position.

Both the C-100 and P-200 have 3 single ended RCA type inputs. These are line level inputs and will accommodate any line level output such as a CD player, DVD player, D to A player, phono preamplifi er output, etc. None of these inputs is designed to take the output of a turntable directly. Turntable outputs need a phono preamplifi er to work into either of the Trio products. Should you require a turntable connection, PS manufacturers an excellent choice in phono preamplifi ers, the GCPH.

Be sure to use a high quality well shielded and well regarded interconnect for this critical link. PS Audio makes an entire line of excellent choices for interconnects, perfectly matched to your equipment’s needs. Input impedance is 50K on each of the Trio inputs.

The Trio P-200 Preamplifi er has two outputs, an XLR balanced output as well as a single ended RCA output. Both outputs may be used at the same time to connect to a power amplifi er or amplifi ers if you are bi-amping.

The C-100 Control amplifi er has a line level output that can be used to feed another power amplifi er like the Trio A-100 for bi-amping.
