Audio Note P4 Balanced - Manual (Page 10)

Line inputs Being mono power amplifiers, each P4 Balanced is fitted with a single
XLR / Balanced input. Looking from behind the amplifiers, they are
located at the top / right hand side of the rear panels. Connect the
outputs from your preamplifier to these inputs.
If your preamplifier is equipped with RCA / Single Ended outputs only,
please refer to the ‘Cable Configuration Options’ information on the
following page.
Speakers
Each amplifier is equipped with 3 colour coded binding posts for
connection to your speakers.
Looking from the rear of the amplifiers, the 3 binding posts are located
at the centre of the rear panels.
Connect the amplifiers black speaker output binding post marked as
“0” to the black / negative terminal (also marked “ – “) on the
loudspeaker.
Connect the amplifiers red speaker output binding post marked “8
Ohm” to the red / positive terminal (also marked “ + “) on the
loudspeaker. The other red 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 combination that produces the best
frequency balance and maximum dynamics should be used.
Mains
Each P4 Balanced is equipped with an IEC 320 mains inlet socket,
located at the top / left hand side of the rear panel. Use the supplied
mains cables to connect the units to the local mains supply. The two
fuses are located in the two fuse holders, located on the rear panel
beneath the ‘speaker binding posts.
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
