POSITIONING

The Product 8 Multi-Channel Power Amplifier is a class A/B type device, and as such it will need to dissipate a little
heat. It should therefore be placed on a flat surface with free space all around. Under no circumstances must the unit
become covered as this may result in the unit overheating. It is advised that not to stack the Product 8 Multi-Channel
Power Amplifier with other products.

MAINS POWER CONNECTION

The Product 8 Multi-Channel Power Amplifier comes with an IEC mains lead fitted with the relevant plug type for
the country of use. If there is any need to change this then follows the relevant instructions for the plug type used.

There is an external replaceable fuse on the rear of the unit: refer to specifications for fuse value. Never replace with
a different value.

Be sure that your system is switched off whilst connecting / disconnecting any leads.

SOURCE CONNECTION

Please note that we do not supply interconnect leads as most people like to choose their own. Unbalance (RCA)
leads should not be more than 3 metres long, and balance (XLR) leads can be any length.

The Product 8 Multi-Channel Power Amplifier can be used with any model of Audio/Video sound processor with
up to 5 channels outputs. The connection can be done in either through unbalance RCA or balanced XLR
connection.

LOUDSPEAKER CONNECTION

As with all connections ensure that the equipment is switched off before you attempt to connect any cables.

OUDSPEAKER O UTPUT

The Product 8 Multi-Channel Power Amplifier allow you to connect your loudspeaker cables to your loudspeakers
via either a 4mm spade or bare wire type connection. If you are using the bare wire method make sure that all the
strands of cable are securely within the binding post before you switch on your amplifier. The Red terminal is for
your positive (+) connection and the BLACK terminal is for your negative (-) connection. If you fail to observe this
pattern your system may result in an ‘out of phase’ condition, giving you poor results in sound quality.
