Audio Note P2 SE Signature - Manual (Page 8)

Line inputs Being a stereo power amplifier, the P2 SE Signature is fitted with one
pair of single ended / RCA inputs. Looking from behind the amplifier,
they are located at bottom / right hand side of the rear panel. The
Black socket is for the Left channel, the Red socket is for the Right
channel. Connect the output from your preamplifier to these inputs.
Speakers
Each channel is equipped with 3 colour coded binding posts for
connection to your speakers, located on the rear panel.
Looking from the front of the amplifier, the 3 binding posts on the left
are for the LEFT channel and the 3 binding posts on the right are for
the
RIGHT channel. Additionally, each set of binding posts is marked
‘LEFT’ and ‘ RIGHT ’.
Connect the amplifier’s black speaker output binding post marked as
“0” to the black / negative terminal (also marked “ – “) on the speaker.
Connect the amplifier’s red speaker output binding post marked
“8 Ohm” to the red / positive terminal (also marked “ + “) on the
speaker. The other red speaker output binding post is marked
“4 Ohm” and may be used with 4 Ohm speakers. If you are uncertain
whether your speaker system is specified as 4 or 8 Ohm, try the
following test once all other connections are made and the amplifier is
operational. Compare the sound quality using a familiar recording with
the speakers connected to the 8 ohm connections and then the 4 Ohm
connections respectively. The selection that produces the best
frequency balance and maximum dynamics should be used.
Ground Post A ground post is provided for connection to those source components
that also use a separate ground terminal.
Mains
The P2 SE Signature features an IEC 320 mains inlet socket. Use the
supplied mains cable to connect the unit to the local mains supply.
The mains fuse and a spare are located in the inlet socket fuse
drawer.
Special Note – Make sure that all connections are tight and clean. For
best results use good quality audio interconnects. Although it is
perfectly acceptable to use cables manufactured by other companies,
for best results and performance, we recommend our own Audio Note
(UK) range of interconnects and loudspeaker cables. For further
information, please consult your nearest Audio Note (UK) dealer, or
