Check for pproper polarity

Speaker cables are a critical link between your loudspeakers and your new C-100 Control Amplifi er. Pay close attention to the polarity on the rear panel binding posts. It is critically important that you match plus and minus (red and black) of the C-

100Control Amplifi er to the plus and minus of your speaker. Carefully observe the polarity. The plus or red terminal of the C-100

Control	Amplifi er	must
eventually	be tied	to the

plus or red terminal of your loudspeaker. The C-100

Control Amplifi er is a non-inverting amplifi er design meaning it is in phase with the input signal.

Be careful when connecting a subwoofer

Connecting a banana style

Rear power switch

Using the remote control

If you intend to connect a subwoofer to the C-100 outputs, be advised that generally there is no problem. In a few rare instances there may be a problem, which will show itself as problematic if the Control Amp’s protection comes on after hooking up the sub. REL subwoofers and some Sunfi re subwoofers can be problematic. Please check with the factory or your dealer if you encounter these subwoofers or any problems.

The binding posts, on the rear panel of the C-100 Control Amplifi er will accept either spade or banana type connectors. To use a spade or forked connector, simply unscrew the binding post, place the tongs of the spade over the threaded binding post and tighten the outer barrel of the binding post. It is permissible to us a wrench to tighten the binding post down.

The banana style connectors should be inserted into the center hole on the rear of the binding post.

Turn your source equipment back on. Make sure everything is powered up properly between the AC receptacle and your AV equipment.

Next, turn the rear panel power switch on the Trio to on and power up. There is a normal 10 second delay for the Trio once powered up.

The Trio’s come with a supplied remote control. The remote has more buttons and functions than are available on the Trio. This remote is a shared remote with the G Series of Control Amplifi ers and Preamplifi ers. The functions that will work are: power, volume, mute, input selects 1, 2 3.
