Rear Panel Features

The top post of each pair is the positive

output, and connects to the positive (red) post
of your speaker. The bottom post of each pair
is the negative, and connects to the negative
(black) post of your speaker. The posts can
accept bare wire, spade terminals, and dual
or single banana connectors.

According to your musical taste, you may

select the current source for electrostatic,
planar magnetic or ribbon speakers. Select
the voltage source for subwoofers. For cone
based systems, use either. For a biwired
system, use the current source for midrange
and treble drivers and use the voltage source
for the subwoofer(s). These are suggestions
only. By all means, please feel free to experi-
ment with other wiring options.

NOTE: The current source output is a

voltage source modified to yield a current
source impedance of one ohm. This corre-
sponds approximately to a vacuum tube
amplifier output impedance and constitutes
the dominant factor in the soundstage delivery
of classic vacuum tube power amplifiers.

6. Current Source Fuses

Each current source output has an in-line

fuse to protect your speakers. If one ever
opens, there will be no output to that speaker.

7. IEC connector

The amplifier comes with a detachable

Linecord which attaches here. Make sure it is
firmly pushed in place. Connect the other end
to an AC outlet which is properly configured
for the type of plug and has the correct
voltage for your model.

8. Line fuse

If this fuse fails, replace it with the exact

same type and current rating.

Note: Always unplug the power
cord from your AC outlet before
removing the fuse.

With a flat ended screwdriver, push the

fuse carrier in slightly and turn it counter-
clockwise to release.
