Connections

When designing our amplifiers we have tried to include features that allow you to connect your system in various ways. The inclusion of features such as Pre-Out and Speaker B connections mean that you can flexibly configure your system depending on your requirements.

Speaker B connections

The Speaker B connections on the back of the amplifier allow for a second set of speakers to be used (i.e. speakers located in another room). The Speaker A/B button on the front panel allows this second set of speakers to be switched on and off.

Basic connection

Note: When using two pairs of speakers, use speakers with a nominal impedance of between 6-8 ohms each minimum.

The diagram below shows the basic connection of your amplifier to a CD

player and a single pair of loudspeakers.

Tape connection

The diagram below shows how to connect the amplifier to a tape recorder or other source with a record and monitor connection.

Please note that either of the tape outputs can be used (as they are both the same signal in parallel).

Preamp Out connections

The Preamp Out sockets are for connecting to the input sockets of a power amplifier or active subwoofer. The diagram below shows how to connect the amplifier to an active subwoofer via the Line In inputs on the subwoofer.
