Installation: A80 amplier
Positioning the unit
Place your amplier on a level, rm surface. Avoid placing the
unit in direct sunlight or near sources of heat or damp.
Ensure adequate ventilation. Do not place the unit in an
enclosed space such as a bookcase or cabinet as both of
these will impede air ow through the ventilation slots.
Connecting to loudspeakers
You can connect one or two pairs of loudspeakers to your
amplier, provided each pair is rated between 8–16Ω. If one or
both pairs have an impedance of less than 8Ω, the combined
load on the amplier falls below 4Ω and could cause an
overload. If so, the overload protection circuit may engage and
the amplier will not work.
To connect one pair of loudspeakers, use the SP1 terminals.
SP1 and SP2 terminals
4
Both sets of loudspeaker terminals can be muted by pressing
the MUTE button on the remote control. To switch SP1 and SP2
independently, use the front panel switches (see page 6, 2) or
the remote control (see page 9).
Your amplier is tted with industry standard loudspeaker
terminals. The terminal accepts spade terminals or bare wires.
To connect a spade terminal or bare wire, unscrew the red (or
black) part of the loudspeaker terminal rst. Insert the wire or
spade terminal and screw it back up.
Caution: Do not over tighten the loudspeaker terminals or
use a wrench, pliers, etc., as this could cause damage to
the terminals which will not be covered under warranty.
Connect the right speaker to the terminals on the back of
your amplier marked R and the left speaker to the terminals
marked L.
Connect your loudspeakers so that the red (positive/+) terminal
on each loudspeaker is connected to the red (positive/+)
terminal on the amplier. Your loudspeaker cables may be
marked to show polarity (negative/– and positive/+), if not,
then the positive terminal can usually be identied by a ridge or
coloured marking.
Now connect your loudspeakers’ black (negative/–) terminals to
the black (negative/–) terminals on the amplier.
Ensure that no stray strands of inner wires are allowed to touch
another cable or the amplier’s casing. This can cause a short
circuit and damage your amplier!
Connecting to a power supply
Mains lead
The appliance is normally supplied with a moulded mains plug
already tted to the lead. If for any reason the plug needs to
be removed, it must be disposed of immediately and securely,
as it is a potential shock hazard when inserted into the mains
socket. Should you require a new mains lead, contact your
Arcam dealer.
Wrong plug?
Check that the plug supplied with the unit ts your supply and
that your mains supply voltage agrees with the voltage setting
(115V or 230V) indicated on the rear panel of the unit 2 before
plugging in.
If your mains supply voltage or mains plug is different, consult
your Arcam dealer or Arcam Customer Support on +44 (0)1223
203200.
The product must be earthed.
Plugging in
Push the plug (IEC line socket) of the power cable supplied with
the unit into the socket (POWER INLET) 1 in the back of the
unit. Make sure it is pushed in rmly.
Put the plug on the other end of the cable into your power
supply socket and switch the socket on.
Standby power
For remote standby operation, the amplier’s control power
supply is kept powered up all the time the unit is connected to
the mains supply. The front panel power switch powers down
all other circuitry. Power consumption in this mode is less than
2.5W.

This means that even though the power switch is off, it may
be possible to hear a slight hum coming from the mains
transformer inside the amplier. This is perfectly normal. If the
unit is to be left unused for an extended period, we recommend
that it is disconnected from the mains supply by switching it off
at the wall socket, or by disconnecting the power lead.
Connecting to other equipment
The use of high quality interconnect cables to and from your
amplier is recommended to ensure the best sound quality.
Sockets marked L (and R) on your amplier should only be
connected to sockets marked L (and R) on other equipment. All
the line inputs have the same sensitivity and may be used with
equipment other than that labelled, if needed.
LINE OUT 6 – Connect this output to the audio inputs of any
unit with a line-level input, e.g., tape deck, etc.
TAPE1/RECORD OUT 7 – Connect these output sockets
to the input sockets of your cassette deck (usually labelled
RECORD).
TAPE1/PLAY IN 8 – Connect these input sockets to the
output sockets of your cassette deck (usually labelled PLAY). If
you do not have a cassette deck you can use this input for other
(line level) equipment, such as a CD player, tuner, VCR, etc., but
not a turntable.
DVD 9 – Connect this input to the audio outputs of a DVD
player.
AV bk – Connect this input to the audio outputs of audiovisual
equipment such as a VCR, laserdisc player, satellite or Nicam
tuner.
TUNER bl – Connect this input to the audio outputs of your
radio tuner.
CD bm – Connect this input to the audio outputs of your CD
player or DAC (digital to analogue converter).
AUX bn – Connect this input to the audio outputs of any unit
with a line level output, e.g. tape deck, tuner, etc.
PHONO bo – Connect this input to the output of your record
player. This input provides RIAA equalization and is compatible
with most high output moving magnet (MM) cartridges.
Phono earth terminal – For connecting your turntable earth
lead (if tted). Note that this terminal must not be used as a
safety earth.
TRIG OUT AND REMOTE IN 3 (12V in and out) – These
connections are intended for use in multi-room installations.
TRIG OUT – This output provides a 12V signal whenever the unit
is switched on (i.e., not off or in standby). This signal can
be used to switch on automatically power ampliers (or
other equipment) connected to the A80, as they will come
on when the A80 is activated. This is useful if the power
amplier is remote from the A80, or otherwise difcult to
access. If you are bi-amping with a power amplier and
wish to power both units on or off simultaneously, see
page 10.
REMOTE IN – This allows remote control signals to be received
by the A80 if the remote sensor is covered (or otherwise
not ‘visible’ to the remote control). An external sensor is
used to receive the signals from the remote control, which
are then fed to the A80 (into this input) using a suitable
cable. Remote control signals acceptable to the A80
must be in modulated RC5 format, with a voltage level of
between 5V and 15V.
Note that in normal use there is no need to make any
connections to these sockets. If you would like to make use of
these features, please contact your dealer for more advice on
how to make the connections and on what type of cable to use.
Pre/power amplier connections
If you wish to use your A80 as a power amplier, please consult
your Arcam dealer.
PRE OUT 5 – To use your amplier as a pre-amplier,
connect the PRE OUT sockets to the input sockets of your
power amplier. With a power amplier of the correct gain (e.g.
the P80 power amplier) you can bi-amplify (‘bi-amp’) suitable
loudspeakers, giving signicant improvements in sound quality
(see page 12).
The different output types
The distinction between PRE OUT, LINE OUT and RECORD OUT
output types is subtle but important.
PRE OUT: This is the output that should be connected to your
power amplier. The output level varies with the volume
control.
LINE OUT: This output is taken before the volume control, i.e.,
the source being listened to is routed directly to this
output. If you wish, this output may be connected to a
recording device, such as a cassette recorder. Under
no circumstances should this output be connected to a
power amplier.
RECORD OUT: The output from the RECORD OUT connectors
is dependent on the conguation of the amplier. Full
instructions for this output are given on page 7; briey,
if the amplier is congured to ‘REC SOURCE’, then
this output will carry the same signal as the LINE OUT
connection. If the amplier is congured so that you are
recording a different source than the one you are listening
to, then the RECORD OUT connections will carry the
source being recorded.
