Audio Note Vindicator - Manual (Page 8)

Line inputs Being a stereo power amplifier, the VINDICATOR is fitted with one
pair of single ended / RCA inputs. Looking from behind the amplifier,
they are located at the right hand side of the rear panel. The Black
socket (top) is for the Left channel, the Red socket (bottom) 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 rear of the amplifier, the 3 binding posts at the top
are for the left channel and the 3 binding posts at the bottom are for
the right channel.
Connect the amplifiers black speaker output binding post marked as
“0” to the black / negative terminal (also marked “ – “) on the speaker.
Connect the amplifiers 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.
Mains
The VINDICATOR utilizes 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
