Input Connection & Switching

The push button switches on the left-hand side of the rear panel marked Input are used to select and listen to either of two inputs. The Destiny Stereo Power Amplifier has both un-balanced sockets via RCA sockets and balanced inputs via XLR sockets.

To select the desired input, press the button to toggle between the inputs, as indicated by LED’s above the sockets. For additional information and options for Destiny products, ask your dealer for full details or view Creek’s website www.creekaudio.com You may also write to technical@creekaudio.com

Pre/power Connections

The Destiny Stereo Power Amplifier input is available through RCA and/or XLR sockets on the rear panel. This is helpful if you wish to bi-amp the Destiny Integrated Amplifier. The default setting from the factory is for the RCA sockets to be selected.

The RCA inputs connect the source to the input of the Destiny Stereo Power Amplifier in passive mode. That is to say, there is no additional circuitry involved. However the XLR inputs are there to allow a balanced source to be connected to the power amplifier. This is achieved internally via a balanced to unbalanced converter, which is an active circuit. If required the XLR input can be used as a second un-balanced input if the connection is made to one or other sides of the XLR input (hot or cold).

To select the desired sockets press the input select button on the rear panel . An LED will light above the socket which is selected. NB: Switch the amplifier off before making any changes in order to avoid any pops, clicks or other unwanted noises.

Loudspeaker Connections

The loudspeakers should be connected to the terminals marked ‘A’ using a suitable pair of cables designed specifically for audio use. High grade touch proof terminals on the rear panel allow for 4mm plugs, bare wire or spade lugs to be connected. Tighten the terminal fully after fitting the speaker wire. Please consult your dealer for advice if you are unsure. It is very important to connect the loudspeakers to the loudspeaker terminals in the correct phase. Cables are normally polarised with a line or raised bump on the positive side. If one channel is not connected in the same polarity as the other, a severe loss of bass performance and a spreading of the stereo image will result.
