Bi-amping

Bi-amping requires the use of a two amplifi ers per

channel: either two P35's or four P1's in a stereo

system. One P35 (or two P1's) is/are used to drive

the high-frequency (treble) speakers, the other is

used for the lower (bass) frequencies.

For the P35's, connect one P35 to the speakers

as described for single wiring, with the exception

that the P35 should be connected to the speaker

terminals labelled 'HF' or 'High Frequency'. Then (in

the same way), connect the second P35 to the low-

frequency terminals. Please refer to the illustration.

For the P1's: four P1 amplifi ers are required for

bi-amping two speakers. Two of the P1's are used

to drive high-frequency (treble) and two are used

for the lower (bass) frequencies. Decide which

amplifi er is to drive which speaker element, then

connect the amplifi er to the speaker following the

instructions given for single wiring.

Note that the strip of metal on the speakers

connecting the lower terminals to the upper

terminals must be removed. Failure to do so will

result in damage to both amplifi ers, which will not

normally be covered under warranty.

Notes on making speaker connections

Do not make any connections to any amplifi er while it is switched on. We recommend that your

amplifi er is completely disconnected from the mains supply before starting.

Before switching your amplifi er(s) on for the fi rst time after connecting to speakers, please check

all connections thoroughly. Ensure that bare wires or cables are not touching each other or the

amplifi er's chassis (which could cause short circuits), and that you have connected positive (+) to

positive and negative (–) to negative. Be sure to check the wiring for both the amplifi er and the

speaker.

After making connections: switch the amplifi er(s) on, select a source signal, then gradually increase

the volume to the required listening level.

If you are unsure as to how your system should be connected, or need advice on bi-wiring or bi-

amping, please contact your Arcam dealer who will be happy to help you.

Connecting to a power supply

Mains lead

Your amplifi er is normally supplied with a moulded mains plug already fi tted to the lead. Check that the

plug fi ts your supply and that your mains supply voltage agrees with the voltage setting (115V or 230V)

indicated on the rear panel of the unit before plugging in.

If your mains supply voltage or mains plug is different, please consult your Arcam dealer immediately.

Plugging in

Push the IEC-plug of the power cable into the socket

it is pushed in fi rmly.

Stand-by power

For remote stand-by operation, the amplifi er's control power supply is kept powered-up all the time the

unit is connected to the mains supply. The front-panel power-switch powers down all other circuitry and

power consumption in this mode is less than 2W.

This means that even though the power switch is off, it may be possible to hear a slight residual hum

coming from the mains transformer inside the amplifi er. This is perfectly normal. If the unit is to be left

unused for an extended period, however, we recommend that it is disconnected from the mains supply.
