9 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER
4. INPUT SELECTION SWITCH
This switch directly above the ‘CD XLR’ input is used to select the pair of CD input
sockets required as described above. Towards the RIGHT channel selects the CD
RCA input connections, while towards the LEFT channel selects CD XLR input.
5. HT BYPASS INPUT
This input is for use specifically with home theatre processors. In some circumstances
you may wish to use the power amplifier of the Anniversary Integrated as the front two
channels of a surround or home theatre environment. The HT Bypass input can be
used for this purpose, as any signal connected to these inputs can be sent directly to
the power amplifier bypassing the preamplifier entirely. It is accessed by the remote
or the trigger input.
6. PRE OUT
The Pre Out connection is provided to enable the Anniversary Integrated Amplifier to
be connected to an external power amplifier.
7. LINE OUT
These RCA outputs are situated next to Pre Out and are provided to interface to line
level recording devices for archiving, or transferring to portable media. The outputs
are always live with the signal of whichever source is selected at the time of recording.
8. OUTPUT TERMINALS
Connections for the loudspeakers are provided on either side of the rear panel. Two
parallel pairs of five way binding posts for each channel are fitted – these provide
ease of use with bi-wiring and multiple cables requiring a large contact area.
9. REMOTE TRIGGER INPUT/OUTPUT SOCKETS
In order to integrate more effectively into a home theatre system, the Anniversary
Integrated has a remote trigger input socket fitted to the rear panel. By connecting
a processor with a remote trigger signal to this socket, the Anniversary Integrated
can be switched between HT Bypass and standby modes. When in standby the
amplifier draws less current and will operate at minimum temperature. This may be
of advantage in multi-amplifier and/or remote installations. The Anniversary Integrated
also features a remote trigger output socket fitted to the rear panel. By connecting
this trigger output to other system components, the entire system can be put in and
out of standby by the processor.
10. GROUND LIFT SWITCH
This switch allows the signal ground to be disconnected from the chassis. In some
installations a hum loop may exist due to duplicate ground paths from different
equipment. Use this switch to remove the connection from 0V to ground thus
allowing some flexibility in your particular set-up.
