Disc
Your turntable lead should be fitted with two PHONO plugs wired as illustrated. If any other
connector is fitted it should be removed and replaced by two PHONO plugs, or a high quality
adaptor lead used to interface.
Tuner
A standard 5 pin 180° DIN plug to 5 pin 180° DIN plug lead such as A & R lead type LOl
should be used for connection to a tuner with a DIN socket output, or a 5 pin 180° DIN plug
(pins 3 & 5) to two PHONO plugs lead for a tuner with a PHONO socket output.
C.D. input/auxiliary output
When connecting a Compact Disc player with a phono socket output, a 5 pin 180° DIN plug
(pins 3 & 5) to two PHONO plugs lead should be used. If the player is equipped with a fixed
lead terminated in two phono plugs then a high quality twin PHONO sockets to 5 pin 180° DIN
plug (pins 3 and 5) adaptor should be used (e.g. A & R lead type L02).
If a tape recorder is being used in conjunction with this socket, then the lead required here is
usually a 5 pin 180° DIN plug to 4 PHONO plugs (individually screened) type. If the recorder
also has a low level DIN input then a 5 pin 180° DIN plug to 5 pin 180° DIN plug (individually
screened) lead may also be used successfully in most cases.
Tape
A 5 pin 180° DIN plug to 4 PHONO plugs (individually screened) lead is required.
Tuner socket (A60AP+ model only)
In the A60AP-I- the auxiliary input is available at pins 1 and 4 of the tuner socket (see above). It
is accessible via the A & R type L04 “Y” adaptor lead which terminates in two line DIN sockets
for “tuner” and “C.D.” wired as the standard A60+’s “tuner” socket (see above).
AP socket
(pre-amplifier output, power amplifier input - A60AP+ model only)
The connections to this socket are shown above. The leads required will depend upon the
application, but when used with the SA60X for two way active crossover systems a 5 pin 180°
DIN to 5 pin 180° DIN crossover lead (e.g. A & R lead type L03) is required.
Loudspeakers
4 mm (banana) plugs or bare wires should be used, with connectors on the other ends of the
leads to suit your loudspeakers. It is important that the phasing of the loudspeakers is correct:
that is, the black or - terminal of each loudspeaker should be connected to the corresponding
black socket of the A60+ and the red or + speaker terminal to the red (for direct output) or
white (for switched output) socket. The upper sockets are for the left hand speaker and the
lower for the right. Do not make any connection between the left and right loudspeaker leads.
