System Configurations
Unbalanced Connections
If your preamplifier has RCA out-
puts, it can be connected to the ampli-
fier inputs as shown. The amplifier will
boost the preamplifier's output, up to a
level suitable for driving speakers.
This diagram also shows how the
Voltage Source outputs connect to
the input posts of your speakers. (The
Current Source can be used instead,
as shown on the next page).
The following pages show some typical connections that you might make in your installation. They show how the inputs
and outputs of the Theater Grand Amplifier are connected to your preamplifier and speakers.
R = Right Channel
C = Center Channel
L = Left Channel

This will cause a short circuit and may
damage your amplifier or speakers.
