POSITIONING THE UNIT
Place your amplifier on a level, firm surface.
Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near sources of heat or damp.

Wiring your loudspeakers
Connect the right speaker to the terminals on the back of your amplifier marked R and the left speaker to the terminals marked L.
Connect your loudspeakers so that the red (positive/+) terminal on each loudspeaker is connected to the red (positive/+) terminal on the amplifier. Your loudspeaker cables may be marked to show polarity (negative/– and positive/+), if not, then the positive terminal can usually be identified by a ridge or coloured marking.
Now connect your loudspeakers’ black
Ensure that no stray strands of inner wires are allowed to touch another cable or the amplifier’s casing. This can cause a short circuit and damage your amplifier!
BFA loudspeaker terminals
The terminal will accept spade terminals, bare wires or a BFA plug. BFA plugs are available from your Arcam dealer.To connect a bare wire or spade terminal, unscrew the red (or black) part of the loudspeaker terminal first.
Insert the wire or spade terminal and screw it back up.
CAUTION: Do not over tighten the loudspeaker terminals or use a wrench, pliers, etc., as this could cause damage to the terminals which will not be covered under warranty.
