[. . . ] Model 2200 M-Block Power Amplifier Owner's Manual Version 1. 0 Owner's Manual Warnings Please Read First Installation Location To assure proper operation and to avoid the potential for safety hazards, place the unit on a firm and level surface capable of supporting 20 pounds or more. When placing the amplifier on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and any mounting hardware can support the weight of the amplifier and any additional items in the equipment rack, or on the shelf. When positioning the amplifier in its final location, make certain that it has adequate ventilation on all sides, as well as on the top and bottom. In particular, it is a good idea to provide at least two or three inches of room above the amplifier for air circulation. [. . . ] Then, loosen the knobs of the speaker output terminals, far enough so that the pass-through hole is revealed. Note that one conductor of the speaker cable will have no markings, and the other will have a red line, brand name markings, a black thread, or some other positive indication. Follow the proper connection instructions for your system with regard to which terminals are used so that proper system polarity is maintained by connecting the positive (usually red) terminal on the speaker to the positive terminal on the Model 2200 and the negative (almost always black) terminal on the speaker to the black negative terminal on the Model 2200. After the connections are made, twist the cap back so that the connection is secured, but do not over tighten or use tools, as this may break the delicate wire strands and decrease system performance. If you are using spade lugs, connect them to the wire using the manufacturer's instructions, and then loosen the caps on the speaker terminals. Place lugs between the plastic cap and the back of the terminal, as if it were a horseshoe on the game's post. When banana plugs are permitted, connections may be made by simply inserting the jack affixed to your speaker wire into the hole provided on the rear of the colored screw caps on the binding posts. Before using banana type jacks make certain that the plastic screw caps are firmly tightened down by turning them in a counter clockwise direction until they are snug against the chassis. This will ensure that the maximum surface area of the plug is in contact with the jack. Where possible, it is recommended that the length of cable connecting any pair of speakers is identical even though one speaker may be physically closer to the amplifier than the other. Do not coil any excess cable, as this may become an inductor that creates frequency response variations in your system. Note: While most speaker manufacturers adhere to an industry convention of using black terminals for negative and red ones for positive, some manufacturers may vary from this configuration. To ensure proper phase connections, and optimal performance, consult the identification plate on your speaker terminals, or the speaker's manual to verify polarity. If you do not know the polarity of your speaker, ask your dealer or installer of advice before proceeding, or consult the speaker's manufacturer. As a general rule, always avoid running input signal or speaker wire connections in parallel with each other, or with AC power cords. This can result in undesired hum or other interference that will greatly degrade signal performance. Audio Signal Connections Connections with RCA type plugs: When making connections with the "RCA" type plugs on interconnect cables, make certain to gently, but firmly insert them into the jacks marked Unbalanced Input C on the back of the Model 2200. Loose connections can cause intermittent sound and may damage your speakers. The barrel assembly of some high quality RCA plugs may be very tight, and it is important to ensure a proper connection between the interconnect cable and the input jack. Connections with XLR (Balanced) audio type plugs: When making connections with "XLR" type plugs on balanced interconnect cables, make certain to gently, but firmly insert them into the jacks marked Balanced Input B on the back of the Model 2200. Loose connections can cause intermittent sound and may damage your speakers. When releasing an XLR connector from an input jack, press the "plate" style tab on the input jack (male end of cable) and pull the interconnect straight out. When releasing an XLR connector from an output jack, press the "button" style tab on the XLR connector (female end of cable) and pull the interconnect straight out. Note: Unlike "turbine" style RCA cables, twisting the interconnect will damage the cable and input jack on your amplifier. AC Power Connection The final step in the installation of the Model 2200 is to connect the power cord. First, connect the female end of the cord into the AC Power Receptacle K on the rear panel. Once the cord as been firmly connected to the Model 200, insert the plug end into an AC power outlet. Safety Notes Due to the current draw of the Model 2200, DO NOT connect the power cord to the accessory outlet of an audio/video component. Should the power cord become lost or damaged, be certain to replace it with a replacement that meets or exceed the original specifications.
