4 - CONNECTIONS
Check if volume control is down to zero on the preamplifier or the 5 channel processor.
First, connect the interconnects between the preamp/processor and each of the power amps inputs.
Connect the speaker cables to the red and black terminals accessible at the back of the amplifiers.
You may notice that the ground of the input and the black speaker terminal are of the same polarity.
The amplifier is non-inverting in phase.
Then, connect the power cords to the back of the amplifier and plug it in the nearest wall plug. Use a 3
lugs grounded plug, for safety reasons. To get the best sound of the amplifier, avoid any multiple plug
or extension cord.
The switch marked inputs link is connecting the 2 inputs together if the amp is to be used with a
monaural source or for bi-amping.
5 – AMPLIFIER CONTROLS
On the front plate of the GOLDMUND SR2.3 amplifier you will find only one switch : The POWER key,
used to power the amp on and one power led.
When turned ON the 2 channels are immediately connected and the front panel POWER led lights up.
The amp may be powered off by turning off the POWER switch at any time. The led will fade very
slowly, indicating discharge of the filter capacitors. The speakers will be disconnected after a few
seconds.
It is absolutely normal that a slight sound is heard from the speakers when the amplifiers are turned
ON or OFF. The SR2.3 is self-protected and the sound heard is corresponding to the charging and
discharging of the capacitors.
