Musical Fidelity X-P200 - Manual (Page 4)

All input, output and power
connections should be made with the
mains power switched OFF.

INPUT INPUT CONNECTIONS CONNECTIONS
Using good quality co-axial audio leads,
connect the left and right outputs from
your pre-amplifier or other controlled
source to either A or B RCA inputs.
OUTPUT OUTPUT
These RCA sockets have “line level”
audio “loop” output routed from either A
or B input by the selector switch on the
front panel.
They are for onward connection to
another amplifier if required.
(See page 6 under BI-AMPLIFICATION).
IEC mains power inlet
The X-P200 is a stereo amplifier, but can
instead be used in “bridge” mode to obtain a
single (mono) output with higher power.
However, do not attempt both speaker
connection methods at the same time.
Conventional stereo use :
Connect each of your loudspeakers to the
pair of terminals on the back panel marked
LEFT and RIGHT SPEAKER OUTPUT.
The wiring must be “in phase”, namely, the
red (+) and black (-) terminals must be
connected to the left and right speakers the
same way round.
Bridge mode :
Connect a single (mono) loudspeaker
between LEFT and RIGHT
red (+)
terminals only
Note that in this mode, the right-hand
channel red terminal becomes negative (-)
for phasing purposes. This is important for
maintaining correct phase with any other
amplifier being used in your audio system.
Important :
* The load impedance must not be less
than 4 ohms.
* Do not make any earth connection to
the speaker terminals.
