Other connections on the Perseus

9. Power inputs

These inputs connect to the power outputs of the Perseus’s separate power supply. The Perseus power
supply includes permanently attached, spiral-wrapped, gold-plated copper cables designed for
aerospace use. Each cable is rated to handle 30 amps.

Each of these jacks mates with a matching jack on the power supply. Be sure to connect the Analog
Right power jack on the phono preamp to the Analog Right power jack on the power supply, the Analog
Left power jack on the phono preamp to the Analog Left power jack on the power supply, and the
Control power jack on the phono preamp to the Control power jack on the power supply.

Before connecting these cables, switch off the Perseus’s power supply and disconnect it from the
AC power. Failing to do this can damage the Perseus or its power supply.
