Leema-acoustics Tucana Handbook - Tucana
Installation
TUCANA
‘LIPS’ bus connectors
This allows communication
between various Leema
system components.
Loudspeaker Outputs
The loudspeakers connect here.
Ensure correct polarity:
Red terminal is +, Black terminal is -.
WARNING:
Do not make connections with unit
connected to the mains supply.
SHORTING THE LOUDSPEAKER
OUTPUTS WILL DAMAGE THE
AMPLIFIER
PRE-AMP Output
This output may be
used for bi-amping or
for bass extraction
when used with a
Leema Corvus.
INPUTS
When a Tucana is used in a
stereo system, all inputs CD to
MULTI 2, may be used to
connect stereo sources.
If the Tucana is part of a multi-
channel system, CD, TUNER
and AUX are used to connect
stereo-only sources.
MULTI 1 and MULTI 2 are the
left and right channels of multi-
channel sources, e.g. DVD
players etc.
AV DIRECT
The AV Direct input is
intended for connection of
an AV processor or similar.
WARNING:
Any source connected
here MUST have it’s own
volume control. When the
AV input is selected, the
volume level is preset. If a
fixed level source is
connected here e.g. a CD
player, the resulting
volume level will be
extremely high.
TAPE Input and Output
A tape recorder or PC audio card
may be connected here. The
tape output will be the current
input unless tape is selected. In
this case the tape output will be
muted to avoid audio feedback.
Power Inlet
Ensure that the
specification indicated
below the connector is
correct for your area.
This will either be
230VAC or 115VAC.

Connections
Input connections
CD> The Tucana's CD input should be connected directly 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, 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 the TUNER.
AUX> The Tucana's 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 Tucana's volume control to be set at
a higher position than would normally be required.
MULTI 1> In a stereo system, the MULTI 1 input can be used as an additional stereo input. In a surround system consisting of a
Tucana, Hydra and Corvus, MULTI 1 is used to connect the left and right (front) channels of multi-channel source such as DVDA,
SACD or DVD players equipped with internal multi-channel de-coding. In such a system, the left and right surround outputs of
the source machine would then be connected to a Hydra's left and right MULTI 1 inputs. The remaining centre and subwoofer
outputs from the source machine connect to the Corvus's MULTI 1 centre and subwoofer inputs. For a more detailed description
on how to connect the system in multi-channel mode, please refer to the Corvus manual.
MULTI 2> Tucana's MULTI 2 input operates in the same way as MULTI 1.
WARNING: The AV DIRECT input must not be used with sources that are not equipped with an independent volume control e.g.
most CD players and DVD players. This input is designed to be used only with an external surround sound processor that has an
independent volume control.
