Audio Note P3 Silver Owner's Information - page 10
Line inputs
Being a stereo power amplifier, the P3 Silver is fitted with a single pair
or RCA / Single Ended inputs. Looking from behind the amplifier, they
are located at the lower right hand side of the rear panel. They are
marked „R‟ for the right channel input and „L‟ for the left channel input.
Connect the outputs from your preamplifier to these inputs.
Speakers
Each channel is equipped with 3 colour coded binding posts for
connection to your speakers.
Looking from the rear of the amplifier, the 6 binding posts (three per
channel) are located at the centre of the rear panels.
Connect the amplifier‟s black speaker output binding posts marked as
“0” to the black / negative terminal (also marked “ – “) on the
loudspeakers.
Connect the amplifier
‟s red speaker output binding posts marked “8
Ohm” to the red / positive terminal (also marked “ + “) on the
loudspeakers. The other red
output binding post is marked “4 Ohm”
and may be used with 4 Ohm speakers. If you are uncertain whether
your speaker system is specified as 4 or 8 Ohm, try the following test
once all other connections are made and the amplifier is operational.
Compare the sound quality using a familiar recording with the
speakers connected to the 8 Ohm connections and then the 4 Ohm
connections respectively. The combination that produces the best
frequency balance and maximum dynamics should be used.
Mains
The P3 Silver is equipped with an IEC 320 mains inlet socket, located
at the top / left hand side of the rear panel. Use the supplied mains
cable to connect the unit to the local mains supply. The two fuses are
located in the two fuse holders, located on the rear panel to the right
of the main power switch.
Special Note
– Make sure that all connections are tight and clean. For
best results use good quality audio interconnects. Although it is
perfectly acceptable to use cables manufactured by other companies,
for best results and performance, we recommend our own
Audio Note
(UK) range of interconnects and loudspeaker cables. For further
information, please consult your nearest Audio Note (UK) dealer, or
