Installation: A65 and A75

Positioning the unit

Place your amplifi er on a level, fi 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 fl ow through the ventilation slots.

Connecting to loudspeakers

Your amplifi er is fi tted with loudspeaker terminals to BFA
(British Federation of Audio) standard specifi cation.

BFA loudspeaker terminals

The terminal will accept spade terminals, bare wires or a
BFA plug. BFA plugs are available from your Arcam dealer. To
connect a bare wire or spade terminal unscrew the red (or
black) part of the loudspeaker terminal fi 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 hand speaker to the terminals on the back of
your amplifi er 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 amplifi er. Your loudspeaker cables may be
marked to show polarity (negative/– and positive/+), if not,
then the positive terminal can usually be identifi ed by a ridge
or coloured marking.

Now connect your loudspeakers’ black (negative/–) terminals
to the black (negative/–) terminals on the amplifi er.

Ensure that no stray strands of inner wires are allowed to touch
another cable or the amplifi er’s casing. This can cause a short
circuit and damage your amplifi er! Two pairs of speakers may
be connected at the same time provided each pair is rated
between 8 and 16Ω. If one or both pairs have an impedance
of less than 8Ω, the combined load on the amplifi er falls below
4Ω and could cause an overload. If so, the overload protection
circuit engages and the amplifi er will not work.

SP1 DIRECT terminals

Are switched off when a headphone jack plug is inserted in
the headphone socket
pressing the

MUTE button on the remote control handset.

SP2 SWITCHED terminals

Are switched off when a headphone jack plug is inserted in
the headphone socket
pressing the MUTE button on the remote control handset.

If you want to connect speakers for occasional use (perhaps in
another room), connect them to these terminals. They can be
turned off easily by releasing the front panel switch

Volume control settings

It is important to realise that the position of the volume control
is not an accurate indication of the power delivered to your
loudspeakers. The amplifi er will often deliver its full power
long before the volume control reaches its maximum position
particularly when listening to heavily recorded compact discs.
However the amplifi er also has to be capable of giving full
power output from much lower level sources, such as tuners
and cassette decks. Using these sources, the volume control
setting may be much higher before distortion (audible overload)
sets in.

Connecting to a power supply

Wrong plug?

Check that the plug supplied with the unit fi ts your supply and
that your mains supply voltage agrees with the voltage setting
(120V or 230V) indicated on the rear panel of the unit.

If your mains supply voltage or mains plug is different, consult
your Arcam dealer or Arcam Customer Support on +44
(0)1223 203203.

Mains lead

The appliance is normally supplied with a moulded mains plug
already fi 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.

Plugging in

Push the plug (IEC line socket) of the power cable supplied with
the unit into the socket (
it is pushed in fi rmly.

Put the plug on the other end of the cable into your power
supply socket and switch the socket on.

Connecting to other equipment

All of the input sockets (except PHONO) have the same
sensitivity and may be used with equipment other than that
labelled, if you need to do so.

The use of high quality interconnect cables to and from other
hi-fi equipment is recommended to ensure the best sound
quality (sonic performance). Ask your Arcam dealer’s advice on
cable selection.

AV PROCESSOR/TAPE switch br (A75 only)

If you are using the amplifi er with an external processor such
as a Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Digital decoder you should
select the AV processor. Connect the left and right audio output
sockets of your processor to the corresponding AV/DVD input

. Press and hold the TAPE MONITOR switch br for fi ve

8

or more seconds, the amplifi er switches to a fi xed gain. This
allows the volume control of your processor to act as a master
control and adjust the sound level of the speakers attached
to both the A75 and the processor simultaneously. If you then
switch back to another input, for example, CD, the volume
control is switched back in circuit again and the amplifi er
functions as normal. You may hear a slight ‘click’ when you
switch to another input. This is normal.

WARNING: If the AV PROCESSOR/TAPE switch is set to

AV PROCESSOR and the LED is illuminated, do not

use the AV/DVD socket for any equipment except a
processor with its own volume control. Otherwise this
could result in a signal being sent to your loudspeakers
at high levels which may damage the loudspeakers.

PHONO/LINE switch bn (A75 only)

If you don’t have a record deck and therefore don’t want to use

PHONO input socket, press this button in (with the tip of a

the
pencil or a ball point pen) to convert the
input for equipment such as a CD player, tuner, VCR etc. Press
and release the button to use as PHONO input again.

PRE-AMP OUT 5

You will only need to use these sockets if you have a separate
power amplifi er. To use your amplifi er as a preamplifi er connect
these sockets to the input sockets (POWER AMP IN or

PWR AMP IN) of your power amplifi er. If your power amplifi er

is an Arcam P75, P85 or Alpha series you can use it in
conjunction with the power amplifi ers in your integrated amplifi er
to bi-amplify suitable loudspeakers. See the section ‘Bi-wiring
and bi-amping loudspeakers’ for details.

TAPE RECORD OUT

Connect these output sockets to the input sockets of your
cassette deck (usually labelled RECORD).

TAPE PLAY IN 7

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 (record deck).

POWER

Switches the amplifi er on and off.

Power indicator

When the amplifi er is switched on, this will initially glow orange.
After a few seconds it will glow green and a slight click may

be heard (as the output muting relay disengages). When the
indicator glows orange, the speakers are disconnected and an
internal protection circuit is working.

If the indicator glows orange during normal use it may be due
to an amplifi er output overload. Switch the amplifi er off and wait
for 2 to 3 minutes before switching on again.

If the indicator continues to glow orange, switch the unit
off, remove all the speaker cables and switch on again.
If the indicator then goes to green when switched on this
indicates a problem with the speakers or speaker cables.
Check the speakers and speaker cables for short circuits
before reconnecting them. If the indicator continues to glow
orange with no speakers connected, contact your Arcam dealer.

Note that the power indicator glows orange when the amplifi er is
muted from the remote control.

Installation: P75 power amplifi er

The P75 power amplifi er can be used in conjunction with
the A65 and A75 integrated amplifi ers (or other Arcam
amplifi ers) to bi-amplify loudspeakers that have two pairs of
input connections (i.e. are bi-wireable). The P75 can also be
used with a pre-amplifi er such as the Arcam 9C or an AV
processor or amplifi er with

PRE-AMP OUT sockets.

Loudspeaker connections

Connect up following the instructions for installing the A65 and
A75 integrated amplifi ers (see page 4).

Connecting to other equipment

PWR AMP IN

Connect these sockets to your preamplifi er output sockets.
Alternatively, if you are using an integrated amplifi er (as your
pre-amp) such as the A65, A75 or Alpha series amplifi ers,
connect the PWR AMP IN sockets to the PRE AMP OUT sockets
on those amplifi ers.

MONO LINK

The P75 can be adapted to provide two mono loudspeaker
outputs from a single input.

Pull out the U-link

Utilising one P75 power amplifi er per loudspeaker will enable
you to bi-amplify bi-wireable loudspeakers. This is particularly
benefi cial for top quality stereo installations with a separate pre-
amplifi er, or for the left, centre and right channel loudspeakers
in a fi ve speaker Dolby Pro Logic™ or Dolby Digital™ system.

Contact your Arcam dealer for more detailed information.

DAISY CHAIN

The P75 is capable of driving further P75 amplifi ers (or any
other power amplifi er), to drive more speakers (e.g. those in
other rooms or tri-amplifi ed speakers etc). Connect the extra
power amplifi er inputs to the MONO LINK outputs 6 left to
left, right to right with suitable high quality phono to phono
cables.

Connecting to a power supply

Connect up following the instructions for installing the A65 and
A75 integrated amplifi ers (page 4).

CIM MODULE 7

The CIM (custom install module) is an optional module that
enables you to adjust the gain of the left and right channels
of the power amplifi er independently and also to switch the
power amplifi er on/off remotely, with a 12 volt trigger. The CIM
module would normally be used in a multi-room set up. When
a CIM module is fi tted into a power amplifi er, the front panel
power switch is disabled.

Bi-wiring and bi-amping loudspeakers

Before you start

WARNING: Do not make any connections to your
amplifi er while it is switched on or connected to the
mains supply.

Before switching on please check all connections
thoroughly, making sure bare wires or cables are
not touching the amplifi er in the wrong places (which
could cause short circuits) and you have connected
positive (+) to positive and negative (–) to negative.

Always ensure that the volume control on your
amplifi er is set to minimum before starting these
procedures.

Bi-wiring your loudspeakers

Bi-wiring improves the sound of your system because it divides
the high and low frequency signal currents into separate
speaker cables. This avoids signal distortions arising from the
high and low frequency currents interacting with one another
within a single cable, as in conventionally wired systems.

You will need:

Speakers – with four input terminals each: these will be marked
HF (High Frequency) and LF (Low Frequency).

Loudspeaker cables – two pairs of cables per loudspeaker
(which may be joined at the amplifi er end if your amplifi er has
only one pair of output terminals per channel). Or, a suitably
terminated cable set (a loom, probably prepared by your dealer
and capable of being used for bi-wiring in one length).

How to bi-wire loudspeakers

1. Remove the terminal links on the rear of your
loudspeakers

Bi-amping your system

The performance of your system can be further enhanced over
that achieved with bi-wiring, by extending the principle one
stage further to include separate amplifi cation for the low and
high frequency drive units in each loudspeaker enclosure.

Connect the amplifi er to the high frequency (HF) terminals and
connect the power amplifi er to the low frequency (LF) terminals.

You will need:

Speakers – with four input terminals each (as with bi-wiring):
these will be marked HF (High Frequency) and LF (Low
Frequency).

Two amplifi ers – one of these would be the A65 or A75 and the
other an Arcam power amplifi er (e.g. P75).

Loudspeaker cables – one pair of cables per loudspeaker or
a suitably terminated cable set (a loom, probably prepared by
your dealer and capable of being used for bi-amping in one
length).

Interconnect cables – one pair of high quality interconnect
cables.

How to set up a bi-amped system

1. Remove the terminal links on the rear of your
loudspeakers.

WARNING: This step is essential or damage
to your amplifi er may result which is not
covered under warranty.

2. Connect the cables as shown in the diagram below,
ensuring correct polarity at all times.

3. Use the interconnect cables to connect the AUDIO PRE­OUT sockets of the A65 or A75 to the corresponding
PWR AMP IN sockets of the power amplifi er.

WARNING: This step is essential or damage
to your amplifi er may result which is not
covered under warranty.

2. Connect the cables as shown in the diagram below,
ensuring correct polarity at all times.
