Amplifier Gain Switch (P1)

This switch is to allow the gain of the P1 amplifier to be changed to suit your system requirements.

With the switch in, the gain is set to standard ARCAM gain of 31.5dB. This is the normal setting,

which allows the P1 to be used in systems where there are other ARCAM power amplifiers (excluding

the Arcam P7).

With the switch out, the gain is set to 'THX standard gain'. Use this setting if your P1 is to be used in

systems containing amplifiers with THX gain (for example, the Arcam P7).

Daisy chaining

Both the P35 and the P1 can be connected to further power amplifiers to drive more speakers (e.g.,

those in other rooms, tri-amplified speakers, etc). This technique is called 'Daisy chaining'.

Connect the

sockets on the P35/P1 to the pre-amp. input of the next amplifier in series, left

to left, right to right.

Remote switching

By making a connection from the

socket of the C31 pre-amp. to the

socket of

REMOTE IN

your P35/P1, you can use the C31 to switch the power amplifier on and off. If configured in this way,

the front panel

button of the C31 (or the

button on the remote control) switches both

POWER

amplifiers on and off together. This facility allows you to position your power amplifier in a remote

location (such as close to the speaker it is amplifying), yet still control it.

The connecting cable to use is a 3.5mm jack lead, wired as given on page 5. It is possible to connect

several power amplifiers to a C31 by 'daisy chaining' from the

of one power amplifier into the

TRIG OUT

of the next.
