ADDING A DELTA 290P TO AN EXISTING

DELTA 290

If you are usir^ a Delta 290, a Delta 290P can be
added

to

bi-amplify

a

pair

of

bi-wireable

loudspeakers.

This

will

reap

substantia]

improvements in sound quality if the following
precautions are observed.

Always switch on the Delta 290 and allow it
to

stabilise

(indicator

l^t

turns

green)

before switching on the Delta 290P,
The Delta 290 and Delta 290P power
amplifier are placed on separate shelves.

Stacking the units on top of each other will
reduce the sound quality slightly. It will also
reduce ventilation and

consequently the

power handling capability.

The exiscir^ Delta 290 should be used to

drive the loudspeakers' HF (high frequency)
units. The new Delta 290P is utilised for the
LF (bass) drivers, as shown in the wiring
diagram below.

At the end of a listening session the Delta

290P should always be turned off first.
High quahty interconnect cables should be
used between the Delta 290 and Delta 290P.
The use of high quality intercoimect and

speaker cables in your system is essential to

obtain good sound quality. Cables from the

AudioQuest range are ideal partners for
Arcam products. ContaCT your dealer for
further details.

WARNING

-

Ensure

that

the

links

connecting the red terminals and the black
terminals on the speakers are removed

before switching on the amplifiers. Failure
to do this could cause damage to one or both

amplifiers and this is not covered under the

warranty.
