1. LOUDSPEAKER BINDING POSTS (OUTPUTS)
• Provide audio output. Two pair of custom-made, high-current Cardas binding posts
labeled + (positive) and - (negative) are included.
• These binging posts are designed to facilitate high pressure, high contact area
connections without the use of tools such as nut drivers. A simple finger-tightening
actually yields higher contact pressure than traditional hex binding posts. There is no
need to exert unusual effort when tightening.
• CAUTION!
NEVER connect power amplifier outputs to any component other than a loudspeaker.
NEVER short-circuit power amplifier outputs.
NEVER connect power amplifier outputs to another power amplifier's outputs.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN the CAA 1 binding posts. Tight, high-contact pressure
connections can be achieved with finger-tightening.
DO NOT FORCE the CAA 1 binding post "wings" up and over a bent or oversized
connector. Doing so may result in binding post damage. If the connector obstructs
"wing"-turning, slide it into place when the binding post opening provides a snug fit.
Then, use quarter-turns to tighten the connection as needed.
2. DC TRIGGER INPUT TERMINALS
• Provide DC trigger control. One 3.5mm mini-jack is available to receive 12V DC signals
from a connected component. Toggling the connected component between ON and
STANDBY will toggle the CAA 1 into and out of STANDBY.
3. POWER INPUT (AC IN)
• Connect to an AC power supply using the included power supply cord.
