Delta 60 integrated amplifier handbook
Introduction
The Arcam Delta 60 integrated amplifier is a product constructed to a purist design, as evident by its lack of tone controls, which will meet the requirements of the most demanding listener. Combining excellent sound quality with sleek, sophisticated styling, the Delta 60 will form the heart of any high quality sound system. It is, of course, ideally suited for use with our existing Delta range units, especially the Delta 80 tuner. Delta 70.2 CD player and Black Box D/A converter.
The Delta 60 has five switchable inputs accepting signals from compact disc, turntable (with facilities for moving magnet and moving coil cartridges), tuner and two tape recorders. The Delta 60 offers further versatility by providing outputs for headphones and two sets of loudspeakers and by allowing mono operation.
Please study these instructions carefully to ensure that you get the best from your Delta 60. Remember that your dealer is there to help you. He has full knowledge of all Arcam products and considerable experience of their use in a variety of systems. If, however, he is unable
to answer your query then please contact us at the factory.

Installing and using your
Delta 60 Amplifier
Mains supply
The Arcam Delta 60 may be supplied to work on any of the following AC voltages: 110/220V and 120V/240V (1OOV units can be supplied to special order). Check that your local mains supply voltage agrees with the voltage setting indicated on the back panel of the Delta 60. If not, please contact the factory or your national distributor for details of how to proceed further.
A detachable mains lead is supplied with the Delta 60. The cores of this lead are coloured in accordance with the following code;
Green and yellow - Earth
Blue |
- Neutral |
Brown |
- Live |
Note: Export units for certain markets have moulded mains plugs fitted as standard.
As the colours in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows;
The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter E or to the safety earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow. The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked by the letter N or coloured black or blue. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked by the letter
L or coloured red or brown.
Fuses
If the mains plug is fused fit a 5 amp fuse.
The AC supply inlet to the Delta 60 uses a standard lEC chassis mounting plug.
The lEC line socket on your mains lead and the lEC plug on the Delta 60 are a tight fit; before first using the Delta 60 it is therefore
important to ensure that the socket is firmly pushed home into the chassis plug.
Under no circumstances should the Delta 60 cover be removed unless the supply is disconnected at the wall socket.
Notice
1Please retain the carton and all packaging materials provided with this equipment so that it may be repacked correctly if it ever becomes necessary to transport the unit or to return it for service.
2If servicing is required then the equipment should be properly packed and returned to the dealer from whom it was purchased. It is essential to include a covering letter giving your name and address and a brief but thorough description of the fault.
Connections
It is advisable that your system be switched off before connecting it up to the Delta 60. This will avoid possible damage to your loudspeakers. At the very least ensure that the volume control on your amplifier is turned down, or an unused input is selected.

All audio inputs and tape outputs are via RCA phono connectors. All the phono sockets on the Delta 60 are marked 'L' for left and 'R' foT right channels, with the left channels nearer the top of the cabinet. Your connection leads will be marked 'L' and 'R' or will have a white or biack plug for left and a red plug for right.
Disc input
For the purposes of playing records the Delta 60 can accept both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges. For either type of cartridge the plugs on your turntable lead should be connected to the disc
input sockets on the rear panel of the unit. A switch Just to the side of these sockets allows the selection of either MM or MC input. The switch should
be left out for use with moving magnet or high output moving
coil cartridges and depressed for use with normal (low output) moving coil cartridges.
If your turntable has a separate earth lead then this should be attached firmly to the earth terminal on the rear of the amplifier.

Note
NEVER OPERATE THE MM/MC SWITCH ON THE REAR OF THE AMPLIFIER WITH
THE VOLUME CONTROL TURNED UP AS THE RESULTANT ELECTRICAL SURGE MAY DAMAGE
YOUR LOUDSPEAKERS.
Compact Disc input
This input is suitable for use with any compact disc player (and with our own Delta Black Box D/A converter coupled with a CD Player). Connect your CD player to the amplifier using the phono sockets
marked CD.
Note
Although, like the tuner and tape inputs, the CD has a 'flat' frequency response, its sensitivity is lower, to take account of the high output signals generated by CD players. It is possible to use either a tuner or another line source in the CD input but the amplifier's volume control will have to be turned up to obtain a volume similar to that found when using other inputs.
