PHASING (OR POLARITY)
It is important to achieve good stereo imaging in your listening room. By observing the wiring instructions above, each power amplifier/loudspeaker combination should be in phase. If you experience poor stereo image and/or a lack of bass, check that the loudspeaker wiring has been connected correctly. We recommend that you use one of the easily obtainable ‘test discs’ to help you ensure both phasing and channel orientation are correct. If in doubt, consult your PLINIUS dealer for advice.
Naturally it is also important to make sure all the leads carrying signals for the RIGHT channel loudspeaker are connected to the RIGHT input to the amplifier from your preamplifier or CD player etc. Signals for the LEFT channel should be wired in a similar fashion.
CONNECTING THE MAINS SUPPLY
Now that your Plinius 9200 Integrated Amplifier is configured correctly, the mains cable can be plugged into the IEC socket on the back of the amplifier. Ensure that the processor switch on the back panel is correct for your intended usage (normally ‘bypass’), and check the speaker cables are connected correctly. Turn on the power switch on the rear panel. The display LED will cycle in brightness for approximately ten seconds as the internal circuitry stabilises. You can now enjoy your new Plinius 9200 Integrated Amplifier.
WARM-UP PERIOD
You will find that the Plinius 9200 will become noticeably ‘purer’ in sound after being on for a period of time. We usually recommend waiting at least 24 hours before expecting the best quality of sound reproduction from your amplifier. Also, as the Plinius 9200 uses very little power while on, we suggest leaving the unit turned on so that it will always be at it’s sonic best.
