Mains supply
The amplifier is normally set up for use with a nominal 240 volt 50/60 Hz supply. It can be
modified for a nominal 220 or 120 volt supply by your dealer or by the manufacturer.
The mains lead should be terminated with a three pin (earthed) plug fitted with a five amp fuse.
A 1 amp anti-surge mains fuse is fitted internally. It is recommended that the supply to the AGO
be disconnected when the amplifier is not in use.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE AMPLIFIER COVER BE REMOVED
UNLESS THE SUPPLY IS DISCONNECTED AT THE WALL SOCKET.
Do not put excessive strain on the mains cable fixing either at the amplifier or at the plug.
Loudspeakers
The outputs are suitable for driving loudspeakers of 8 ohms nominal impedance or higher.
“4-8 ohm” loudspeakers, when marked as such, may also be used. “4 ohm” loudspeakers may be
used if care is taken not to operate at very high levels.
The loudspeaker terminals, will accept either wires or 4mm plugs. The upper set of three
terminals is for the left hand speaker, and the lower set for the right hand speaker. One side of
your speaker (normally the - side) should be connected to the black terminal; the other (the
+ side) may be connected either to the red (direct) or to the white (switched) terminal. When
the “direct” output is used loudspeakers and headphones may be used together; when the
“switched” output is used, insertion of a jack plug into the headphones socket will automatically
mute the loudspeakers.
The A60+ is unconditionally stable and suitable for use with all types of loudspeaker leads,
including the “high definition” types.
Heat sink
The heat produced by the amplifier is dissipated into the air by the heat sink, which will, along
with the surrounding panel, become warm while the amplifier is on. The whole back panel may
become quite hot if the amplifier is run near full power. THIS IS PERFECTLY NORMAL.
However, if it becomes too hot to touch, switch off the amplifier at once and consult your
dealer.
