Before plugging in the Integrated 2, check to see that the
unit is configured for the correct AC line voltage for coun-
try of use. The operating AC line voltage is indicated on
the side of the shipping box. If the Integrated 2 is set
incorrectly for the country in which it is to be operated,
contact the dealer or distributor in your area. If the unit is
configured properly, continue with operation.
First check that the Power Switch (K) is in the “Out” posi-
tion (OFF) and then connect the Detachable Power Cord
to the Integrated 2 AC Power Cord Socket (Q) (see Figure
3). Plug your Integrated 2 into the AC power source.
All remaining connections are made with your favorite
interconnect to or from other single-ended inputs.
Connect source units to the Integrated 2 Inputs (P); l e f t
channel to left channel and right channel to right channel.
If a tape or other line level recording or processing device
is being implemented, connect the left and right audio out-
put of the unit to the corresponding left and right Tape/
EPL Input (O) of the Integrated 2. Also connect the left
and right Tape/EPL Outputs (N) on the Integrated 2 to the
corresponding left and right audio inputs of the external
device. The outputs from a Surround Sound Processor
(SSP) can be connected to the SSP input, left output to left
input, right output to right input.
Connect loudspeakers to the appropriate post as
described in the connection section of this manual.
The Integrated 2 is now ready for operation. Power the
Integrated 2 by placing the On-Off button (K) in the ON
position. Upon power-on, the Integrated 2 will be muted
for 40 seconds to allow the circuitry to stabilize, and this
will be indicated by a dim green LED (H).
Select a desired source through the Selector Switch (A).
Balance is adjusted through use of the Balance Control (B);
turning it left and right will adjust the left and right levels.
The center detent is an indicator for equal, or balanced, left
and right levels.
L
PREAMPLIFIER OUTPUT
This output connects to the single-ended inputs of
other units such as power amplifiers or a crossover
unit; connect left channel to left channel and right
channel to right channel. The “Pre-Out” jacks allow the
Integrated 2 to be used solely as a preamp. These
outputs are functional at all times.
M
SSP/POW ER AMPLI FIE R INPUT
This input accepts a single-ended RCA input connec-
tion from an external preamp or SSP Processor; con-
nect left channel to left channel and right channel to
right channel. The signal input at these connections
will bypass all control functions and preamp functions
of the Integrated 2 and will operate only as a power
amplifier. To enable this input, depress the SSP button
(D) on the front panel.*
N
TAPE /EPL I NPUT
This input accepts a single-ended RCA input connec-
tion from a tape deck or external processor; connect
left channel to left channel and right channel to right
channel. These inputs are activated when the
Tape/EPL-Source button (F) is depressed.
O
TAPE/EPL (EXTE RNAL PRO CESSO R L OOP) OUTPUT
This output connects to the single-ended inputs of a
tape deck or external processor; connect left channel
to left channel and right channel to right channel. This
output always follows the input selection of the
Selector Switch (A).
P
LINE L EVE L INPUTS FOR CD , T UN ER
AND AUXILI ARY SOURCE S
A line level single-ended source connection may be
made to these 4 sets of RCA connectors; connect
left channel to left channel and right channel to right
channel.

Plug the Detachable Power Cord into this socket
Figure 3). The Integrated 2 is factory set for the c
rect operating voltage for the area in which it is s
(see shipping box for voltage setting). If a differen
operating voltage is required, please contact an a
rized Sonic Frontiers or Anthem dealer, distributo
the factory directly.
Two spare fuses have been supplied with your
Integrated 2, along with the fuse in the unit. The f
is not accessible with the detachable power cord
place (see fig. 4). A spare fuse is supplied in the
drawer. Use only the supplied fuses or fuses obta
from your Sonic Frontiers dealer.

* In this mode, the Integrated 2 may be used as a separate pre-amp and power amp, eg. an electronic crossover may be inserted be
“Pre-Out” and “SSP / Power-In”, or the “Pre-Out” jacks could be used in a “Bi-Amp” system.
