Installation: P35 power amplifi er
CONNECTING TO OTHER EQUIPMENT
Follow the installation instructions for the integrated amplifier on
pages 4–6.
AUDIO IN – Connect this input to the output sockets of your pre-
amplifier or the PRE OUT sockets of an integrated amplifier.
MONO LINK – The power amplifier can be adapted to provide two
mono loudspeaker outputs from a single input. Pull out the link
supplied and use it to connect the
L and R AUDIO OUT sockets
together. Using one power amplifier per loudspeaker will enable you
to bi-amplify bi-wireable loudspeakers.
This is particularly beneficial for top quality stereo installations with a
separate pre-amplifier, or where amplifiers are provided for the left,
centre and right channel loudspeakers in a five speaker Dolby Pro
Logic or Dolby Digital system.
Contact your Arcam dealer for more information.
‘Daisy chaining’ – The power amplifier can be connected to further
power amplifiers to drive more speakers (e.g. those in other rooms or
tri-amplified speakers, etc).
Connect the extra power amplifier inputs to the AUDIO OUT sockets
on the power amplifier, left to left, right to right.
REMOTE SWITCHING
By making a connection from the REMOTE IN socket of the P35 power
amplifier to the TRIG OUT socket of the A32 integrated amplifier, you
can use the A32 to switch the power amplifier on and off. If configured
in this way, the front panel
POWER button of the A32 (or the POWER/
STANDBY button on the remote control) switches both amplifiers on
and off together. This facility allows you to conceal the power amplifier
yet still control it.
The connecting cable required is a 3.5mm to 3.5mm jack lead (stereo
or mono) and it is possible to connect several power amplifiers to an
A32 by ‘daisy chaining’ from
TRIG OUT of one P35 into the REMOTE IN
of the next.
THREE CHANNEL OPTION
The power amplifier can be upgraded from stereo to three channels
by adding a Third Channel Module: in this case, the model is designated
P35/3.
The module offers extra loudspeaker terminals together with a third
set of
AUDIO IN and OUT phono sockets and converts the P35 into
a 3 x 90W (RMS per channel into 8 Ω ) amplifier suitable for Home
Cinema or multi-channel audio use.
Contact your Arcam dealer for further details.
