INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Connecting the GND (GROUND) screw terminal If you connect a low-level audio input source (turntable) to the PHONO, please connect your turntable’s ground wire (usually black or green) to the amplifier’s GND terminal, to avoid a low-frequency hum. You can also use this screw to ground any other system connection.
Input connections
The PT 510 accept a board range of input sources, including:
- Microphones (up to two simultaneously)
- Compact Disc (CD) player
- Cassette, Reel-to-Reel or other tape player
- Radio Tuner
- Magnetic Cartridge Turntable
Connecting microphones
The MIC 1 and MIC 2 jacks permit you to connect two microphones with 6.35mm plug.
Connecting a turntable
In this Situation, set the PHONO and AUX/ CD SELECTOR switch to the PHONO.
Speaker connections
One or more speakers ( 4 or 8 Ohm) speakers can be connected to the amplifier with or without transformers. However, before you connect any speaker to the amplifier, the total speaker impedance must be calculated in order to avoid damage to the amplifier. A total speaker impedance greater than 8 Ohms or less than 4 Ohms can be cause this damage to occur. To begin with, in order to ensure equal volume from each speaker, all connected speakers should have the same impedance. A proper total impedance with the 4 to 8 Ohms range can be achieved by combining series and paralled speaker connections. Please see the diagrams which follow the same impedance. Finally, always use the shortest length of speaker wire possible of proper gauge. Usually, 18-gauge wire is adequate for lengths under 25 feet, while 16-gauge is used for greater lengths.
System 1: Single speaker system
- Connect the speaker (-) terminal to the amplifier COMMON terminal
- Depending on the speaker being used, connect the speaker (+) terminal to the amplifier’s 4-Ohm or 8-Ohm amplifier terminal.
System 2:Two (or more) speakers in series
- Connect the LEFT SPEAKER (-) to the amplifier COMMON terminal.
- Connect the LEFT SPEAKER (+) to the RIGHT SPEAKER (-).
- Connect the RIGHT SPEAKER (+) to the amplifier’s 4-Ohm or 8-Ohm terminal, depending on TOTAL IMPEDANCE of the two speakers.
TO THE 8-OHM TERMINAL
System 3:Two (or more) speakers in parallel
- Connect the LEFT SPEAKER (-) to the RIGHT SPEAKER
- Connect BOTH the LEFT SPEAKER (-) and the RIGHT SPEAKER(-) to the amplifier COMMON terminal.
- Connect the LEFT SPEAKER (+) to the RIGHT SPEAKER (+).
- Connect BOTH the LEFT SPEAKER (+) and RIGHT SPEAKER(+) to the amplifier 4-Ohm or 8-Ohm terminal, depending on the TOTAL IMPEDANCE of the two speakers. If each speaker has an impedance of 8-Ohm, the total speaker impedance in this parellel configuration is 4 Ohms.
System4: Connecting speakers with transformers
- Locate the input taps on your transformer. These taps are on side of the transformer, and are rated in watts, 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25 or 0.62. Usually, each speaker in a system uses the same wattage tap.
- Connect the selected tap to the amplifier 70V RMS terminal.
- If you wish a particular speaker to have a higher volume level,connect the wire from 70V RMS to a higher wattage tap on the transformer.
- Connect the transformer’s COMMON tap on the primary side to the amplifier COMMON terminal.
- Connect the speaker’s (+) terminals to the transformer’s secondary tap that matches the speaker’s TOTAL IMPEDANCE Locate on the opposite side of the transformer, these secondary taps are outputs, and are rated in Ohms 4 or 8.
- Connect the speaker’s (-) terminals to the transformer’s COMMON tap on the secondary side.
NOTE: Before connecting the speakers, please be sure the total wattage of the primary tap you use does not exceed the amplifier’s maximum power rating.
ALSO: Avoid, where possible, multiple connections to the 70V RMS and COMMON terminals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Be mindful of your connections. Make sure your TV is compatible with your AV receiver. Decide how many channels you want. Find the ideal level of power for your location. Go wireless if you wish to add music to other rooms. Make certain there is enough space.
Generally speaking, you should choose an amplifier that has a power output capacity that is double the program/continuous power rating of the speaker. This indicates that an amplifier with a power output of 700 watts into an 8 ohm load is necessary for a speaker with a “nominal impedance” of 8 ohms and a programme rating of 350 watts.
An amplifier is made to boost the levels of audio signals. However, it is not meant to enhance the recorded audio or the reproduction of such audio in any way, be it objective or subjective.
Your amp should be about 20W for domestic use. You should have a 20W tube amp or, if you’re performing alone, a 40W solid state amp for the majority of gigs and live performances in spaces that can accommodate about 100 spectators. You’ll probably need a 50W valve amp or a 100W solid state amp if you’re playing alongside a drummer.
A voltage amplifier is one that is intended to boost the strength of the input signal. A power amplifier is a particular kind of amplifier that is intended to increase the input signal’s power level.
Power amplifiers are classified into the following three categories based on the kind of output device they are linked to: Audio Power Amplifiers. RF Power Amplifiers. Amplifiers for DC power.
When an amplifier produces far more wattage than your speakers can handle, it may be too powerful for your speakers. Speakers should not be pushed over their breaking point as this could cause damage. It’s not a good idea to crank up a much less powerful amp since clipping will occur and cause audio distortion.
Two speakers are often a manageable load for most amplifiers. Similar to a passenger on a tiny motorbike: carrying two passengers doubles the load that the bike must carry, but most bikes can manage this. However, if you add more speakers than two, the amplifier will typically get overloaded.
A radio-frequency power amplifier (also known as an RF power amplifier) is a type of electrical amplifier that raises the power of a radio-frequency signal. RF power amplifiers often operate as the transmitter’s antenna driver.
The power amplifier’s overall efficiency, taking into account the impact of the input power, is expressed by its power-added efficiency, or PAE. Typically, PAE is given as a percentage. For instance, the PAE of a power amplifier with a 10 W output, 0.5 W input, and 30 W DC power would be equal to 32% (10-0.5)/30.
Voltage amplifier and power amplifier differences. The power amplifier boosts the signal’s power level, whereas the voltage amplifier is made to increase voltage. Voltage amplifiers are small-signal amplifiers because they receive input signals with relatively tiny amplitudes.
The active element (transistor) of a class C power amplifier conducts for less than half of the input signal’s cycle. The conduction angle has a usual range of 80° to 120° and is less than one-half cycle, which indicates that it is less than 180°.
Class A, B, AB, and C power amplifier circuits (output stages) are categorised as linear designs, while classes D and E are categorised as switching designs. The percentage of each input cycle (conduction angle) that an amplifying device passes current during determines the classes.
A class D amplifier is the one with the maximum efficiency. When compared to other analogue classes such amplifiers in categories A, B, AB, and C, it has the maximum power efficiency. The output devices of the D amplifier can either be on or off and use non-linear switching technology.
As a result, the Class A amplifier has the lowest efficiency level while still producing a linear output with the least amount of distortion.
Two or more transistors are biassed in a Class-B amplifier so that each transistor only conducts for one half of the input waveform.
