CONNECTING MAINS POWER
Please refer to rear panel view on Page 4. The moulded IEC connector of the supplied mains lead should be plugged into the socket (5) on the rear of the unit first and then plugged into the mains supply. The Mains power switch (8) is on the rear panel of the Power Amplifier. This switch is normally left on. If the unit is likely to be unattended for a long period, switch it off and unplug the mains lead from the wall.
SIGNAL CONNECTIONS
Signal Input connections:
Input sockets are RCA Phono Sockets and should be connected according to the standard convention – Right Channel – Red; Left Channel – White or Black.
Connecting a Preamplifier:
Connect the Preamplifier Output to the INPUT IN Sockets (1) on the rear panel of the
Caspian Power Amplifier.
Chain Connecting Multiple Amplifiers:
If there are no extra ‘PRE OUT’ sockets available for connection to further power amplifiers; connect the CHAIN OUT Sockets (2) on the rear panel of the first Caspian Power Amplifier to the INPUT IN Sockets of the second unit, and so on. Several amplifiers can operate together in this way.
Bi-amping with the Caspian Integrated Amplifier:
Connect the PRE 1 or 2 OUT Sockets on the rear panel of the Caspian Integrated Amplifier to the INPUT IN Sockets (1) of the Caspian Power Amplifier (See diagram on Page 6).
IMPORTANT NOTE: For optimum performance it is recommended to use high quality
LOUDSPEAKER CONNECTIONS
The right and left loudspeakers are connected to the amplifier via the rear panel binding posts (3) and (4) respectively. There are two basic types of cable –
•Figure 8 cable has two insulated conductors which lie parallel, either side by side, or spaced by insulation.
•Overall sheathed cable has both conductors insulated and enclosed in an overall plastic sheath. Carefully remove any overal sheath or split the figure 8 cable to a depth of about 75mm (3”).
Carefully strip the insulation on each wire to a depth of about 12mm (1/2”) exposing the bare core. If the conductor is stranded, twist the strands together on each conductor.
Unscrew the binding post. There is a
Carefully observe polarity ensuring that the RED (+) speaker terminal is connected to the RED (+) amplifier terminal and the BLACK
When both left and right channels are connected to their respective speakers the amplifier is ready for use.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For optimum performance it is recommended to use high quality cables such as ROKSAN
