3.2 Connecting Your Amplifier

  1. Power Connection: Connect the provided power supply to the DC9V-24V IN port on the rear of the amplifier. Plug the power adapter into a suitable wall outlet.
  2. Speaker Connection: Connect your passive speakers to the speaker output terminals on the rear panel. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -) for both left (L) and right (R) channels. These terminals support both banana plugs and bare speaker wire.
  3. Audio Input: Choose one of the following input methods:
    • Bluetooth Input: Ensure the amplifier is powered on. The Bluetooth indicator light will flash, indicating it's ready for pairing. On your device (smartphone, tablet, etc.), search for "Nobsound" or "GFJ058NEW" in the Bluetooth settings and connect. The indicator light will turn solid blue once paired.
    • AUX Input: Connect your audio source (e.g., MP3 player, TV, CD player) to the AUX 3.5mm input jack on the front panel using the provided AUX cable.
    • USB Input: Connect your computer (PC/Mac) to the USB sound port on the front panel using the provided USB cable. No driver installation is typically required for most operating systems. This input allows for lossless audio playback.
