Leema-acoustics TUCANA II Handbook - Tucana Overview
Tucana overview
The award-winning Leema Tucana II is a very high power output, microprocessor-controlled, stereo integrated amplifier. It is
capable of class-leading performance as the heart of an audiophile stereo system and thanks to the LIPS (Leema intelligent
protocol system) interface, can also be the centre of a stunning home cinema or surround music system. Each component in the
system dynamically configures itself in real time, depending on the requirements of each input source. The microprocessor gives
an unprecedented degree of sophistication, making the Leema ‘Constellation’ series easy to use for all the family. No longer will
only one member of the family know how to play a CD or watch a movie - the built-in intelligence learns your preferences without
menus and confusing options.
Connections
Input connections
BAL> The Balanced input may be used to connect any source having balanced outputs, for example, the Leema ‘Agena’ or
‘Antila’. Balanced connection will be of particular benefit with interconnecting cables greater in length than 1M.
CD> The Tucana II’s CD input should only be connected to the analogue outputs (usually marked left/right and colour coded
white/red) of the CD player. DO NOT connect any available digital outputs from the CD player to the input terminals of the Tucana II,
as damage to the speakers is likely to occur.
TUNER> The Tuner input should be connected directly to the analogue outputs (usually marked left/right and colour coded
white/red) of a radio TUNER.
AUX> The AUX input can be connected directly to any line level analogue stereo outputs. Some devices such as MP3 or hard disk
based portable players have a comparatively low output, which will require the input gain to be increased. Please see ‘Gain’ on
page 10.
