Plinius Audio Odeon Power Amplifier - Manual (Page 13)

11 MULTICHANNEL AMPLIFIER
LOUDSPEAKER OUTPUTS
The connection of your loudspeakers to the output posts of the Plinius Odeon must
be made by an ‘instructed person’ or by ready made loudspeaker cables only.
Connect the loudspeakers to the output terminals, making note of which input is
connected to the module. For example the module with left front input signal should
have the left front speaker connected. Repeat so each module has the appropriate
speaker connected in relation to the input signal, ensuring that the red positive (+)
terminal is connected to the red terminal on your loudspeaker. Do the same with the
black or negative (-) terminals.
TERMINATION QUALITY
Quality of the connections must be examined to ensure that high performance
trouble free operation is enjoyed. Check that the connections are tight but do not
over tighten. If bare wires are used make sure that no loose strands of wire short
cross the other terminals or the amplifier chassis. When using plugs such as
bananas, be sure to use good quality plugs with a firm fit.
PHASING (OR POLARITY)
It is important to achieve good stereo imaging in your listening room. By observing
the wiring instructions above, each Power Amplifier/loudspeaker combination should
be in phase. If you experience poor stereo image and/or a lack of bass, check that
the loudspeaker wiring has been connected correctly. We recommend that you use
one of the easily obtainable ‘test discs’ to help you ensure both phasing and channel
orientation are correct. If in doubt, consult your Plinius dealer for advice.
To achieve a sound performance that is correctly aligned to your room, make sure all
of the leads carrying signals for the right channel loudspeaker are connected to the
right input to the amplifier from your preamplifier or cd player etc. Signals for the left
channel should be wired in a similar fashion.
CONNECTING THE MAINS SUPPLY
Firstly, check that the mains supply voltage printed on the rear of this amplifi er is similar
to the mains supply voltage in your area. If in doubt, please consult your Plinius dealer.
Mains supply power connection is via the plug-in lead supplied with your Plinius Odeon.
