Once your new Trio is unpacked,
you’ll need to fi nd a convenient
place to set it.
Once you have decided on the
location and chosen the appropriate
power cables, you are ready to
install the Trio.
We would recommend that you
power the entire system down
before attempting to connect
either the preamplifi er or Control
Amplifi er.
Insert the Trio into the system.
Make sure the rear mounted power
switch is in the off position.
Both the C-100 and P-200 have 3 single ended RCA type inputs. These are line level inputs and will
accommodate any line level output such as a CD player, DVD player, D to A player, phono preamplifi er
output, etc. None of these inputs is designed to take the output of a turntable directly. Turntable
outputs need a phono preamplifi er to work into either of the Trio products. Should you require a
turntable connection, PS manufacturers an excellent choice in phono preamplifi ers, the GCPH.
Be sure to use a high quality
well shielded and well regarded
interconnect for this critical
link. PS Audio makes an entire
line of excellent choices for
interconnects, perfectly matched
to your equipment’s needs.
Input impedance is 50K on each
of the Trio inputs.
The Trio P-200 Preamplifi er has
two outputs, an XLR balanced
output as well as a single ended
RCA output. Both outputs may
be used at the same time to
connect to a power amplifi er or
amplifi ers if you are bi-amping.
The C-100 Control amplifi er has a line level output that can be used to feed another power amplifi er
like the Trio A-100 for bi-amping.
