4 INSTALLATION

4.1 Connection to the mains

First, it is essential to ensure that the main voltage corresponds to the apparatus
voltage. It is not advisable to connect and disconnect the mains wire without first
making sure that the switch is in its OFF position. The amplifier is equipped with an
Inrush current limiter circuit, which avoids current excess when powering up. In
addition to that, a breaker switch located close to the IEC socket protects the
amplifier when the average current consumption is out of the specified range.
AC 85/240V – 50/60Hz
Average current draw @230V:
WARNING: the connection to any other voltage different from the
one specified can damage the amplifier immediately.
4.2 Connection of the loudspeakers
The loudspeaker system should be connected to the Speakon or binding posts
connectors ensuring that the polarity is correct. It is very important to use a cable
fitting to the power of the amplifier in order to maintain the high damping factor these
units provide.
As a general guideline, we offer a table showing the recommended cable section for
different cable length, in order to keep power and damping factor loss in acceptable
values.
