When using binding post connectors, please make sure that insu-
lation on cables is not removed too high. Insert the naked part of
the cable fully so that no metal is visible. Cable clamps must be
isolated to avoid the possibility of electric shock. When running the
amp in mono-bridged mode, always use the middle two binding
post connectors, paying attention to correct polarity.
Caution
If you notice naked cable endings on the binding post +
connectors, do not power up the amp because of the
risk of electric shock.
Connecting to the mains 4.1.2
Always connect your EUROPOWER amplifier to the voltage speci-
fied on the rear of the device. Connecting the amp to an incorrect
voltage can permanently damage your amp.
Before powering up the amplifier, double-check all connections
and fully lower the gain setting.
Audio connections 4.2
Various cables are needed for different types of applications.
The following illustrations show the correct wiring. Always use
high-grade cables.
When connecting a balanced input signal, please make +
sure to exclusively use balanced cables for passing the
signal further on. Otherwise, one single unbalanced
