Quick Start Guide
1.
Place the P300 in a rack or on a shelf in
the audio/video system. If placed on carpet
it is necessary to use isolation or accessory
feet to elevate it above the carpet 1 inch, as
it is essential for proper ventilation. Failure
to do so could compromise the power
regeneration capabilities of the P300.
2.
Connect the power cable(s) of the audio/
video equipment to the P300. There are two
electrically isolated duplex receptacles on
the P300, which are oriented horizontally.
3.
Plug the P300 into a power source.
Use the supplied AC power cable, or an
aftermarket power cable. We would strongly
urge the use of an xStream Power Cable.
4.
Turn on the P300 by switching the rear
panel rocker switch and then, pressing the
power button located on the far left side of
the front panel.
5.
If desired, select a MultiWave II setting
using the front panel controls. See the
MultiWave II section of the manual for more
information on MultiWave II
Default settings
The P300 comes from the factory with
standard default settings that should work
well for most situations. The type of power
delivery can be configured to achieve the
optimal performance for any system.
Rear Panel Layout
1. Coaxial pass-through
The P300 comes equipped with a coaxial
pass-through for providing protection to a
cable TV coaxial lead. It can also reduce
ground loop problems associated with the
cable TV coaxial lead.
2. Main Power Switch
The main power switch is a hard power
switch and will not keep the P300 in standby
mode. No current is drawn from the wall and
the unit will not pass power. There is also a
soft power switch on the front of the unit.
3. AC Power Inlet
15 Amp IEC standard male socket.
4. Main Fuse
The main fuse is a 5 Amp slow blow. The
fuse can be removed by inserting a flat
device into the fuse holder, removing the
outter cover then removing the fuse.
5. Isolated Ground Post
The P300 allows for an isolated ground line
to be used instead of the ground from the
wall outlet. See the Isolated Ground Post
section for more information.
6. Power Ports™
Two PS Audio Power Ports™ provide
the best possible connection to power
equipment.
Underside ventilation slots (not show)
The ventilation slots provide exhaust
for the thermally controlled cooling
fan. Leave at least 1 inch of clearance
underneath the unit at all times.
