Rear Panel Functions

This panel incorporates all terminals for connecting the input signals from your CD player,
tuner, etc and the outputs to the loudspeakers and mains supply. Please remember that
your Plinius Hautonga Integrated Amplifi er is a high quality electronic instrument capable
of an exceptional level of performance. Be sure that you understand your system’s
requirements fully before you make any connection to this amplifi er.

1. MAINS SWITCH
The heavy-duty rocker switch in the centre of the panel turns the Mains/Line Power to
the amplifi er ON or OFF. The amplifi er draws a moderately high current when switched
on, so it is not good practice to rapidly turn the Mains switch on and off repeatedly.

2. INPUT TERMINALS
The input terminals for your Plinius Hautonga Integrated Amplifier are easily
accessible along the top of the rear panel, with the right channel (red) inputs along
the top. The phono inputs are suitable only for low level input phono turntables, while
the rest are all ‘line level’ inputs, for use with unbalanced signals from line level source
components such as CD players, tuners, etc. Consult your Plinius dealer for further
advice if required.

3. CD XLR INPUT TERMINALS
Below the Line Out and Trigger Connectors are an additional set of line level XLR
balanced inputs for use with source components that feature XLR balanced outputs.
Balanced signals are carried via a three way cable.

The XLR pin configuration used in all Plinius product is:

PIN 1 to GND
PIN 2 to +Signal
PIN 3 to -Signal

NOTE: Because of the way our XLR and balanced inputs are configured it is not
possible to use both XLR and RCA at the same time.
