POSITIONING THE UNIT

Place the amplifier on a level, firm surface.

Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near sources of heat or damp.

Do not place the unit on top of a power amplifier or other sources of heat.

Ensure adequate ventilation.

The P7 has a variable speed fan for cooling. If the unit is placed in an enclosed space, such as a bookcase, equipment rack or cabinet, ensure that there is adequate space and ventilation in the enclosure for air to flow through the ventilation slots and cool the amplifier. Inadequate cabinet ventialtion may cause the P7 to shut down due to thermal overload.

The amplifier is designed to run warm during normal operation.

Ensure that the equipment rack or stand can support the 31kg weight of the unit.

CONNECTING TO A PRE-AMPLIFIER

ANALOGUE AUDIO INPUTS

It is imperative to connect the pre-amplifier outputs to the module for that particluar channel, e.g., connect the left surround output to the module that will be driving the left surround speaker.

All modules are identical. However, we advise you to make connections corresponding to rear panel labelling, since the amplifier modules are muted in pairs. Due to the layout of the power supply circuitry in the P7, you should connect the correct input signal and loudspeaker to the recommended channel, or the left/right stereo imaging will not be optimum.

The outputs from the pre-amplifier should be connected to the AUDIO IN inputs on the P7. Be sure to note which channel from the pre- amplifier is connected to which power amplifier module, so that the correct speaker can be connected to that module and the correct channel identity can be maintained.

If you wish to use four modules to bi-amplify a pair of speakers, or would like to bi-amplify using another power amp, then you can take the signal for that channel and feed it on to the additional modules using the AUDIO OUT phono socket on that module.The signal is then fed in to the first module, but also fed on to the second module so that both modules can bi-amplify the loudspeaker.

12V TRIGGER INPUT

If your pre-amp provides a 12V Trigger output, it can be connected to the 12V TRIGGER IN socket using a 3.5mm jack.This enables the P7 to be turned on remotely from the pre-amp.

Note that the trigger input is only active when the central power button on the front panel is depressed.
