The unit can become hot depending on demanded output power / environmental temperature.
Therefore it is important, that the cooling air can flow unhindered into the air inlet in the bottom and
flow out through the holes in the rear panel. Direct exposure to sunlight is not recommended because
this will heat up the unit.
1.4 Connection to mains
Connect the unit to the mains connector (30) by using the power cord which is (in some countries)
delivered together with the unit. Make sure that mains voltage is according to the value printed on the
rear panel of the amp (near mains connector).
CAUTION: Keep the unit switched off until all audio connections are made.
1.5 Connecting analogue signal sources
High-level sources
Connect the outputs of your signal sources to the inputs (17-19). The upper row is for left channel, the
lower row is for right channel.
Turntable
Connect the output of your turntable with phono inputs (16) and connect the chassis ground wire to
the ground connector (14). The C 5.2 phono input is suitable for MM cartridges as well as for high and
medium level MC cartridges. Sensitivity can be adjusted (see 2.4.1)
1.6 Connecting digital signal sources
Inputs SPDIF/ (RCA cinch, optical)
