■

Both pairs of speakers may be driven simultaneously

provided each pair is rated between 8 and 16 ohms.

To avoid overheating the combined load impedance

as seen by the amplifier should not fall below 4 ohms

per channel.

CAUTION: Your Alpha 7/8 amplifier generates heat when

in use, particularly at higher volumes. It is therefore most

important never to obstruct the ventilation slots on the unit

as this could cause overheating.

NOTE ON VOLUME CONTROL SETTINGS

It is important to point out that, when playing a heavily

recorded CD, it is possible to drive the Alpha 7/8 amplifier

at full power despite the fact that the volume control is only

at 10 or 11 o'clock. This is because of the high output level

from modem CD players.

However the Alpha 7/8 amplifier also has to be capable of

giving full power output from much lower level sources, such

as tuners and cassette decks. Using these sources, the

volume control setting will be much higher before audible

overload sets in.

CONNECTING YOUR SOURCECOMPONENTS

■

Using a suitable pair of interconnect cables to connect

each component, insert the red phono plugs into the

sockets labelled 'R' and the other phono plugs into the

sockets labelled 'L'.

All of the line inputs (except PHONO) have the same

sensitivity and may be used with equipment other than

that labelled, If you need to do so.

® TAPE RECORD OUT - Connect to your tape deck's

input (RECORD).

0 TAPE PLAY IN - Connect to your tape deck's output

(PLAY).

VIDEO - Suitable for connecting the audio outputs of

an Audio/Visual product such as a VCR, Laserdisc

player or Nicam tuner.

TUNER - For connecting your radio tuner.

CD - For connecting your CD player or DAC.

AUX - For connecting any unit with a line level output,

eg. tape deck, tuner etc.

PHONO - For connecting a turntable fitted with a

moving magnet (MM) or high output moving coil (MC)

cartridge. For low output MC cartridges, ask your

dealer for a suitable MC pre-amplifier.

PHONO / LINE SWITCH

(Alpha 8 only)

- Converts

the PHONO input to an extra LINE level input. Press

the button in to use as a LINE input Press and

release the button (it should then be flush with the rear

panel) to use as PHONO input

GROUND TERMINAL - For connecting your

turntable's earth lead (if fitted).

PREAMP OUT - To use your Alpha 7 or 8 as a pre¬

amplifier connect the PREAMP OUT sockets to the

input sockets ('power amp in') of

your power

amplifier. If your power amplifier is an Arcam Alpha

8P or 9P, or an Arcam Delta 290P, this may also be

used in conjunction with the power amplifiers in your

Alpha

7 or Alpha

8 to bi-amplify suitable

loudspeakers.

OPERATION

REMOTE RECEIVER

(Alpha

only)

- This is housed

behind the badge in the top left hand comer of the

amplifier. Ensure the remote receiver is not obscured

or commands from the remote control handset will not

be received.

LISTEN SELECTOR - Selects the input you wish to

listen to. The selected input signal is also sent to the

TAPE OUT sockets to allow the signal to be recorded,

assuming you have a tape deck connected.

TAPE - For monitoring a recording on a three head

cassette deck, set LISTEN to the desired input and

press TAPE.

Switching between 'TAPE' and

'SOURCE' on the cassette deck allows you to

compare the original source with the recording. To

listen to a pre-recorded tape, press TAPE. This will

override the LISTEN selector.

VOLUME - Adjusts the volume level of the

loudspeakers and headphones.

■

On the Alpha 8 only the volume control is motorised

and can be controlled remotely with the use of a

suitable remote control handset, such as those

supplied with Arcam CD players or ttie Alpha 8

FM/AM tuner (see section on

OPERATION BY

REMOTE CONTROL for more details).

DIRECT - Bypasses bass, treble and balance controls

when the switch is depressed. This affects all inputs,

and will generally give a small improvement in sound

quality.

BASS - Rotate clockwise to boost the bass response

and anti-clockwise to cut the bass response. For a flat

response leave in the central 'click' position.

TREBLE - Rotate clockwise to boost the treble

response and anti-clockwise to cut the treble

response. For a flat response leave in the central

'click' position.

■

The range of the tone controls has been deliberately

limited to approximately +/- 8dB at the frequency

extremes.
