CONNECTING TO OTHER EQUIPMENT

Follow the installation instructions for the integrated amplifier on pages 4–6.

AUDIO IN – Connect this input to the output sockets of your pre- amplifier or the PRE OUT sockets of an integrated amplifier.

MONO LINK – The power amplifier can be adapted to provide two mono loudspeaker outputs from a single input. Pull out the link supplied and use it to connect the L and R AUDIO OUT sockets together. Using one power amplifier per loudspeaker will enable you to bi-amplify bi-wireable loudspeakers.

This is particularly beneficial for top quality stereo installations with a separate pre-amplifier, or where amplifiers are provided for the left, centre and right channel loudspeakers in a five speaker Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Digital system.

Contact your Arcam dealer for more information.

‘Daisy chaining’ – The power amplifier can be connected to further power amplifiers to drive more speakers (e.g. those in other rooms or tri-amplified speakers, etc).

Connect the extra power amplifier inputs to the AUDIO OUT sockets on the power amplifier, left to left, right to right.

REMOTE SWITCHING

By making a connection from the REMOTE IN socket of the P35 power amplifier to the TRIG OUT socket of the A32 integrated amplifier, you can use the A32 to switch the power amplifier on and off. If configured in this way, the front panel POWER button of the A32 (or the POWER/ STANDBY button on the remote control) switches both amplifiers on and off together.This facility allows you to conceal the power amplifier yet still control it.

The connecting cable required is a 3.5mm to 3.5mm jack lead (stereo or mono) and it is possible to connect several power amplifiers to an A32 by ‘daisy chaining’ from TRIG OUT of one P35 into the REMOTE IN of the next.

THREE CHANNEL OPTION

The power amplifier can be upgraded from stereo to three channels by adding a Third Channel Module: in this case, the model is designated P35/3.

The module offers extra loudspeaker terminals together with a third set of AUDIO IN and OUT phono sockets and converts the P35 into a 3 x 90W (RMS per channel into 8Ω ) amplifier suitable for Home Cinema or multi-channel audio use.
