Rack mounted
- Amp mounts perfectly in any electronics rack.
- Place two Amps side by side in a 21-J rack.
- Place four Amps in a 3U rack.
Placed on a credenza
- Place horizontally on a stable and level surface at least 3 in / 50 mm from the TV.
- Don’t block the TV’s IR sensor.
- If put on a shelf, place it at the front and keep 3″ (minimum) clearance on all sides.
- Don’t block the front of the Amp so you can reach the touch controls.
Connect the cables
Make sure your speakers are compatible with the Amp:
- Your speaker’s power rating should be at least 125W for 8-ohm speakers, and at least 20CW for 4-ohm speakers. Do not connect speakers rated at less than 4 ohms.
- Amp Earl drive speakers with nominal impedance above 4 ohms- Two pairs of 8-ohm speakers wired in parallel are also supported.
- Don’t wire your speakers in series because it will result in poor sound quality.
- Remove the cap from the banana plug to reveal the connection hole.
- Insert the stripped end of the speaker wire into the hole, then put the cap back on the banana plug to secure the connection.
- Note: Connect the red (+) and black (-) terminals from each speaker to the corresponding banana plugs and terminals on the Amp.
- Mismatching of polarities will result in weak central sound and a distorted sense of sound direction.
- Insert the banana plug into the proper speaker terminal on the back of the Amp.
- Repeat to install the other speaker wires. Connect the power cord and plug in the Amp. If you’re connecting Amp to your TV, use an HDMI cable to connect from Amp’s HDMI port to your TYIf your TV has an HDMI ARC port, connect the HDMI cable to your TV’s HDMI ARC port.If your TV doesn’t have an HDMI ARC port, you’ll need the optical adapter.
- Attach it to the HDMI cable and connect the optical adapter end to your TV’s optical digital OUT port-When connected, Amp creates two front audio channels and plays your TV sound through your favorite non-Sonos speakers.
