Before you start

Ensure your unit is switched off and that
the volume control knob on the Pre
Amplifi er or Integrated Amplifi er is at it’s
minimum.

Please note that your 5010 Mono Power
Amplifi er may take up to 48 hours to
‘run-in’ before reaching it’s optimal
performance.
Each subsequent ‘run-in’ will then take
about 20 minutes.

SPEAKER OUTPUT

Connect the left and right loudspeakers to the corresponding
left and right speaker outputs :

1. Connect the (+) terminal of the loudspeaker to the (+)
terminal of the 5010 Mono Power Amplifi er.

2. Connect the (-) terminal of the loudspeaker to the (-)
terminal of the 5010 Mono Power Amplifi er.

Loudspeaker Compatibility

Although the 5010 Mono Power Amplifi er is able to drive
almost any loudspeaker system, the best results will most
likely be achieved with speakers rated at 8 Ohms. For
loudspeakers rated below 4 Ohms please ensure adequate
ventilation.

Speaker Cable Compatibility

While the 5010 Mono Power Amplifi er is compatible with
most types of loudspeaker cables, the type of cables
used can infl uence the sonic performance of your system.
Please ask your dealer for advice on loudspeaker cable
compatibility and how to get the best from your 5010 Mono
Power Amplifi er.

Note : The 5010 Mono Power Amplifi er is internally protected
against damage from short circuits. However, no such
protection is infallible, and damage may occur if positive
and negative speaker cables are inadvertently connected
together.

Bi-wiring

Bi-wiring may provide a useful gain in subjective
performance. Should you choose this option, please refer
to the “Extended Set-Up” section overleaf for detailed
information.

Unbalanced connection is shown above.
Only use the unbalanced OR the balanced inputs, DO NOT use
both at the same time.

3 Operation

1. Turn the Pre Amplifi er or Integrated
Amplifi er volume control to
minimum.

2. Press the power switch on. The LED
power indicator will light up. The
output relay will activate after a
short delay.

3. Without playing any source, turn
the volume control knob slowly
clockwise to around 20%. You
should only hear a faint hiss.

4. Turn the source selection knob for
the desired input source, indicated
by the LED.

Sound should now be heard when the

input source is played.

Extended Set-Up

Bi-Wiring

The 5010 Mono Power Amplifi er is fi tted with two sets of
4mm loudspeaker output sockets for bi-wired connection of
loudspeakers. Another pair of speaker wires is required for
each loudspeaker.

Ensure that the links at the speaker terminals between the
high frequency and the low frequency are removed on both
loudspeakers.

Please refer to the manufacturer of your loudspeakers for
advice on the practicality and potential benefi ts of bi-wiring.

Operational Modes

The 5010 Mono Power Amplifi er can be operated in one of two
different modes.

Mono Mode

To operate in mono mode two separate 5010 Mono Power
Amplifi ers are required, one for each channel.

Bi-amping Mode

An Integrated Amplifi er can also be used as a Pre Amplifi er for
the 5010 Mono Power Amplifi er.

The Power Amplifi er section of the Integrated Amplifi er will still
be operational, and can be used in conjunction with the 5010
Mono Power Amplifi er to provide bi-amping capabilities for
suitable loudspeakers:

1. Check your loudspeaker user manual for the wiring
connections.

2. Connect the PRE-OUT sockets of the Integrated Amplifi er
to the RCA Phono input sockets of the 5010 Mono Power
Amplifi er.

Your dealer or local distributor will be able to offer further
advice.
