MAINS SWITCH

The heavy-duty rocker switch in the centre of the panel turns the Mains/Line Power to the amplifier ON or OFF. The amplifier draws a moderately high current when switched on, so it is not good practice to rapidly turn the Mains switch on and off repeatedly.

INPUT TERMINALS

The input terminals for your Plinius P8 Power Amplifier are easily accessible at the top centre of the rear panel. These standard RCA terminals are for use with unbalanced signals (single ended RCA) from a line level output preamplifier. Consult your PLINIUS dealer for further advice if required.
