9.SPEAKER: Loudspeaker terminals

At these output sockets with threaded terminals one or two pair(s) of stereo loudspeakers can be connected. Speaker cable with 4 mm banana plugs can be used. Please take note of the infor- mation given in the section "Installation", if two pairs of loudspeakers will be connected to the amplifier.

10.INPUT ("LINE1"..."LINE4"): Terminal for stereo audio signals of the source equipment Here you find four stereo RCA input sockets for source equipment with analo- gue stereo (line level) audio output.

11.MAIN INPUT ("LINE5"): Main Amplifier Input This is for the connection of a stereo preamplifier or source equipment with a pream- plifier output. Note that no high level output should be connected from a stereo source to “LINE5”. This input must also not be connected to the neighbouring preamplifier output, “PRE OUTPUT” (14).

12.INPUT "BALANCED": XLR-Input These are the input sockets for one stereo audio source equipped with XLR output sockets.

13.REC OUTPUT: Output connectors assigned to a recording device

If desired, you can connect a recording device

like a CD recorder or a tape recorder to this output. The stereo signal of this output is identi- cal to the output signal of the selected audio source at one of the inputs "LINE1"..."LINE4". The signals of the inputs "BALANCED" and "LINE5" are not available for recording at this output!

14.PRE OUTPUT: Preamplifier Output

If one of the inputs "LINE1"..."LINE4" (10) or the input "BALANCED" (12) is selected, the "PRE" output can supply two additional main amplifier channels with the preamplified stereo audio signal of the selected source. The output must not be connected to the neighboring power ampli- fier input "LINE5 MAIN INPUT" or to the high level input of another HiFi component.

15.POWER CONTROL (12V)

These jack connectors (3,5 mm) send and receive the signals for the standby control (12V Trigger).

16.AC power connector and fuse holder To establish the power supply, connect the plugs of the power cable to the device and to a 230V AC wall outlet. The small plastic housing beneath the plug opening holds the fuse. Refer to the security precautions.
