Rear-Panel Features

Power Cord Connection

The A800 amplifier comes with a 14-gauge EIA standard 120V grounded power cable. Plug this cable directly into a wall outlet. NEVER attempt to power the amplifier from the accessory outlet of another audio component.

Voltage Switch

The A800 amplifier is shipped with this switch set in the 115V position. This is the correct setting for use in the United States.

Fuse Holder

The A800 amplifier is shipped with a 4 amp fuse installed. This is the correct value for operation in the United States.

Changing the Voltage

Important: Remove the power cord from the amplifier and the wall outlet before changing the voltage

In addition to 120V operation, the A800 amplifier can also operate on voltages from 220V to 240V. To change the voltage:

1.Remove the power cord from the wall outlet and from the amplifier’s power connection.

2.Insert a flat-blade screwdriver or similar tool into the empty power cord socket and gently pry the fuse holder out of its socket.

3.Install the supplied 2 amp fuse in the fuse holder and replace the fuse holder back into its socket above the power cord connection.

4.Use a flat-blade screwdriver or similar tool to change the Voltage Switch to the 230V setting.

5.Replace the supplied power cord with a 14-gauge grounded IEC power cord that is appropriate for the country where the amplifier is being used.

Line Inputs and Outputs

The A800 amplifier has Line Inputs and unfiltered Line Outputs. Use these connections if your receiver or preamp has a line-level subwoofer output. If the subwoofer output is mono you can connect it to either the A800’s Left or Right Line Input.

If your system has a separate preamp and power amplifier you can connect the A800 amplifier between the preamp and power amp using its Line Input and Line Output jacks.

Note: If you are using the A800’s High Level Inputs (see below), DO NOT make any connections to the Line Level Inputs.

High Level Inputs and Outputs

If your system’s electronics do not have preamp outputs or subwoofer outputs you can connect its left and right speaker outputs to the A800D’s High Level Inputs. Then connect the A800’s High Level Outputs to your left and right speakers. Always make sure to connect the A800’s “+” terminals to the electronics’ and speakers’ “+” terminals, and its “–” terminals to the electronics’ and speakers’“–” terminals.

Note: If you are using the A800’s Line Level Inputs (see above), DO NOT make any connections to the High Level Inputs.
