Placing the unit
< Place the amplier on a level, rm surface, avoiding
direct sunlight and sources of heat or damp.
< Do not place the A49/C49/P49/P349 on top of a
power amplier or other source of heat.
< Do not place the amplier in an enclosed space
such as a bookcase or closed cabinet unless there is
good provision for ventilation. e A49/P49/P349
are designed to run warm during normal operation.
< Do not place any other component or item on top
of the amplier as this may obstruct airow around
the heat-sink, causing the amplier to run hot. (e
unit placed on top of the amplier would become
hot, too.)
< Make sure the remote-control receiver to the right
of the front panel display is unobstructed, otherwise
this will impair the use of the remote-control.
< Do not place your record deck on top of this
unit. Record decks are very sensitive to the noise
generated by mains power supplies which will be
heard as a background ‘hum’ if the record deck is
too close.
< e normal function of the unit may be disturbed
by strong electromagnetic interference. If this
occurs, simply reset the unit with the power button,
or move the unit to another location.
Power
e amplier is supplied with a moulded mains plug
already tted to the lead. Check that the plug supplied
ts your supply – should you require a new mains lead,
please contact your Arcam dealer.
If your mains supply voltage or mains plug is dierent,
please contact your Arcam dealer immediately
Push the IEC plug end of the power cable into the
socket on the back of the amplier, making sure that it
is pushed in rmly. Plug the other end of the cable into
your mains socket and, if necessary, switch the socket
on.
Interconnect cables
We recommend the use of high-quality screened cables
that are designed for the particular application. Other
cables will have dierent impedance characteristics
that will degrade the performance of your system (for
example, do not use cabling intended for video use to
carry audio signals). All cables should be kept as short as
is practically possible.
It is good practice when connecting your equipment to
make sure that the mains power-supply cabling is kept
as far away as possible from your audio cables. Failure
to do so may result in unwanted noise in the audio
signals.
Arcam’s A49 integrated, C49 pre-amplier and P49/
P349 power ampliers provide class leading sound
quality for the best possible reproduction of your music.
Drawing on the many years of amplier design
experience at Arcam, all three products use the best
quality components and engineering practice to
produce a product that will give many years of musical
pleasure and reliable service.
With a class G amplier, toroidal based power supply,
acoustically damped chassis, parallel transistor output
stages and exceptionally low levels of distortion and
noise both the a A49, P49 and P349 are capable of
reproducing music with all its original authority and
detail. Both the A49 and C49 feature dual mono volume
controls and a balanced signal path all the way though
the product. Rest assured you will be hearing the music
just as the artist intended.
e A49, C49, P49 and P349 are designed to produce
a level of performance that will truly bring music to
life.

Selecting an audio source
Audio sources may be selected from the front panel
buttons (PHONO, Aux, CD, TUNER, SAT, BD, PVR, AV), or the
remote control (PHONO, AUX, CD, TUN, SAT, BD, PVR, AV).
In each case, the source is selected from the input
sockets with the corresponding name.
Audio inputs
Although the inputs are labelled for specic devices, all
have the same characteristics and each may be used with
any line-level product. e exception is the PHONO (MM)
input (see pages20-21 for the specication).
AUX (XLR)
Intended for the balanced analogue outputs from a
source, for example the Arcam D33. e balanced
inputs can also be assigned to any other input key on
the remote. Either use the MENU button on the remote to
access the setup menu, or press the front panel BD and
BALANCE buttons simultaneously and use the control
knob to change the setting. e front panel display shows
(e.g.) XLR CD. In this example, when the CD button on
the remote is pressed, the XLR inputs will be selected. So
the original input is still available, when the AUX button is
pushed, the CD input will be selected.
TUNER
Intended for the analogue outputs from an FM, AM
Phono input
Phono-level input
e A49/C49 provides a pre-amplication stage to treat
the low-voltage output from a MM (moving magnet)
cartridge. Input specications are given on pages 20 - 21.
Output volume is shown on the front display as
PHONO 20, for example.
Line-level phono input
e phono input may be changed from line-level to
phono-level. Either use the MENU button on the remote to
access the setup menu, or press the front panel PHONO
and BALANCE buttons simultaneously and use the control
knob to change the setting. e front panel display shows
LINE- OFF (i.e. phono) or LINE- ON respectively.
If you wish to use an external phono amplier, connect
its output to the PHONO (MM) input, but make sure that
LINE- ON is selected, since a phono amplier produces
line-level input.
With the input dened in this way, output volume is
shown on the front display as LINE- 20, for example.
WARNING: NEVER play a standard line-level source into the
phono input when set to LINE-OFF. This would result in serious
damage to both your amplier and speakers due to the extra
gain that is applied and would not be covered under warranty.

Connecting to an additional
power amplifier
e A49/C49 provides a pair of unbalanced pre-outs on
standard RCA phono connectors and a set of balanced
pre-outs on XLR connectors to allow connection to
an additional power amplier to create a bi-amplied
setup.
Most audio ampliers, including the Arcam P49/
P349, will connect to the RCA phono connectors
using standard interconnect cables. is connection is
recommended for short cable runs. Connect to the PRE
IN connection of the power amplifer
If however your amplier has balanced connections,
you may use the balanced XLR output. is connection
provides greater rejection from electrical interference
and is useful when cables are long (more than a few
metres) or in electrically-noisy environments. Balanced
connections also have the ability to reject ‘hum’ caused
by ‘ground loops’. Connect to the PRE IN connection of
your power amplier.
Recording an audio source
e A49/C49 allows you to record and monitor the
sound from any connected source.
e back panel REC OUT socket can be connected to the

one channel (le or right) relative to the other. Altering
the balance may help to restore the stereo image for an
o-centre listening position.
Balance can be adjusted from the front panel or from
the remote control. Press the BALANCE button (or BAL
on the CR902) to view the current setting, then use
the control knob (or the +/ buttons on the remote)
to change the setting – from L9 to R9, via the neutral
value 0.
Speaker Control
e SP1 and SP2 switches (A49 only) enable and disable
the respective speaker outputs. e LED will be lit if the
speakers are enabled.
Listening
Volume control
Use the control knob (or the +/ buttons on the remote)
to change the volume. Turn the knob clockwise to
increase the volume, anti-clockwise to reduce it.
Listening using headphones
e headphones socket (PHONES) accepts headphones
with an impedance rating between 8Ω and 2kΩ, tted
with a 3.5mm stereo jack plug.
e pre-amp outputs and speakers are muted when
headphones are plugged in and the front panel display
shows HEADPHONE.
e headphones socket is always active, unless output
has been muted.
Muting output
e output of the A49/C49 can be silenced by pressing
MUTE on the front panel (or -on the remote control).
If the unit is muted, the power light changes to orange
and the source is shown on the front display panel (e.g.
PVR MT).
Press MUTE/-for a second time (or change the volume)
to cancel mute.
Connecting to a source
component with a balanced
output
In addition to the seven single end (RCA) inputs, the
A49/C49 provides a single balanced input on female
XLR connectors.
If your source component (such as the Arcam D33)
has balanced audio outputs you may wish to use this
connection instead of the single ended inputs. is type
of connection provides greater rejection from electrical
interference and is useful when cables are long (more
than a few metres) or in electrically-noisy environments.
Balanced connections also have the ability to reject
‘hum’ caused by ‘ground loops’.
Processor mode
Processor mode can be assigned to any input. In this
mode, the A49/C49 is set to a xed level. Use MENU
button on the remote and then use the control knob to
change the setting. e front panel display shows (e.g.)
PROC- AV.
When this input is selected, the volume display will show
PM instead of the volume level.
To alter the level use the MENU button on the remote to
access the setup menu then use the control knob to
change the setting. e front panel display shows (e.g.)

Normal single wiring
For single wiring, we recommend that you use the
SPEAKER 1 set of terminals on your amplier. If each
speaker has more than one pair of connecting terminals,
use the terminals labelled LF or ‘Low Frequency’.
Connect the red positive terminal of the right speaker
connection on the amplier (labelled R+) to the positive
terminal of your right speaker. Similarly, connect the
black negative terminal of the right speaker connection
on the amplier (labelled R) to the negative terminal
of your speaker. Repeat the process for the le speaker,
using the terminals labelled L+ and L on the amplier.
WARNING: If your speakers support bi-wiring, there will be a
strip of conductive metal connecting the low-frequency (LF)
terminals to the high-frequency (HF) terminals; this MUST NOT
BE REMOVED in a single-wired system.
Notes on making speaker connections
< Do not make any connections to any amplier while it is switched on. We recommend that your
amplier is completely disconnected from the mains supply before starting.
< Before switching your amplier(s) on for the rst time aer connecting to speakers, please check all
connections thoroughly. Ensure that bare wires or cables are not touching each other or the amplier’s
chassis (which could cause short circuits), and that you have connected positive (+) to positive and
negative (–) to negative. Be sure to check the wiring for both the amplier and the speaker.
< Aer making connections: switch the amplier(s) on, select a source signal, then gradually increase the
volume to the required listening level.
< If you are unsure as to how your system should be connected, or need advice on bi-amping, please
contact your Arcam dealer who will be happy to help you.
Connecting
loudspeakers
ere are many dierent ways of connecting your
loudpeakers to your A49 or P49/P349 and the following
section describes how to connect and congure the
loud speakers and amplier for the most common
congurations.

Bi-amping
Bi-amping requires the use of two ampliers per
channel. Normally, your A49 is used to drive the high-
frequency (treble) speakers, while a power-amplier
(such as a P49/P349) is used for the lower (bass)
frequencies.
Connect your A49 to the speakers as described for
single wiring, with the exception that the A49 should be
connected to the speaker terminals labelled HF or ‘High
Frequency’.
en connect the power amplier (P49/P349, for
example) to the LF or ‘Low Frequency’ terminals, as in
the diagram. A pair of audio interconnect cables are also
required to connect the pre-amp outputs of the A49 to
the power amp inputs of the P49/P349.
e interconnects can be either XLR (recommended for
longer cable runs) or phono (RCA). Set the INPUT switch
on the P49/P349 to the appropriate setting for the cables
used.
WARNING: the strip of metal on the speakers connecting
the low frequency (LF) terminals to the high frequency (HF)
terminals MUST BE REMOVED. Failure to do so will result
in damage to both ampliers, which will not normally be
covered under warranty.
To allow the power state of the P49/P349 to be
controlled by the A49 please connect the TRIGGER OUT
to the TRIGGER IN using a mono 3.5mm jack lead – not
supplied.

We recommend that you use the SPEAKER 1 L set
of terminals on your P49 power amps for the low
frequencies and the SPEAKER 2 R set of terminals for the
high frequencies.
On one of the P49’s, connect the red positive speaker
terminal labelled SPEAKER 1 L+ to the positive LF terminal
of your right speaker. Similarly, connect the black
negative speaker terminal labelled SPEAKER 1 L to the
negative LF terminal of your right speaker. Repeat this
process for the le speaker, using the terminals labelled
SPEAKER 1 L+ and L on the other P49 power amp.
On the rst P49, connect the red positive speaker
terminal labelled SPEAKER 1 R+ to the positive HF
terminal of your right speaker. Similarly, connect the
black negative speaker terminal labelled SPEAKER 1 R to
the negative HF terminal of your speaker. Repeat this
process for the le speaker, using the terminals labelled
SPEAKER 1 R+ and R on the second P49.
In this setup only one interconnect is required to each
power amplifer and it should be connected to the
PRE IN L input. e interconnects can be either XLR
(recommended for longer cable runs) or phono (RCA).
Set the INPUT switch on the P49’s to the appropriate
setting for the cables used.
Note: PRE IN R has no function in this arrangement.
WARNING: the strip of metal on the speakers connecting
the low frequency (LF) terminals to the high frequency (HF)

troubleshooting
Sound cuts-out unexpectedly
If the temperature of the internal heatsink rises above
a safe level, then a thermal cut-out inside the amplier
operates to protect the unit and the protection system
temporarily removes power to the speakers. e system
will reset itself as the heatsink cools down.
< With two pairs of low-impedance speakers
connected (6Ω or less), overloads are more likely.
Overloading the amplier may cause it to shut
down because of overheating.
< Note that, due to the high output voltage from
some CD players, it is possible to drive your
amplier at full power even though the volume is
not set at maximum.
If you are having trouble with your amplier, check the
following items.
No sound
Check the following:
< e amplier is switched on.
< e A49/C49 is not muted (i.e. MT (mute) is not
shown on the display panel; the power LED is
showing green, not orange or red).
< e selected source going in to the A49/C49 is
generating audio (e.g., if CD is selected, then the
CD is playing).
< e speaker outputs on the A49/P49/P349 are
active and the appropriate speaker LED is showing
green.
No remote control
Check the following:
< Check the remote control with fresh batteries.
< Ensure that the amplier and remote are both set to
the same control code - see page17.
< If the volume does not operate for a selected input,
check that processor mode has not been selected for
that input - see page12.

Table des
matières
Mise en place de l’appareil
< Mettez l'amplicateur sur une surface ferme, de
niveau, évitant la lumière directe du soleil et des
sources de chaleur et d'humidité.
< Ne posez pas l’A49/C49/P49/P349 au-dessus d’un
amplicateur ou de toute autre source de chaleur.
< Ne mettez pas l'amplicateur dans un espace fermé
tel qu'une bibliothèque ou une armoire à moins
qu'elle ne soit pourvue d'une bonne ventilation.
L'A49/P49/P349 est conçu pour chauer pendant
son fonctionnement normal.
< Ne mettez aucun composant ou élément au-dessus
de l'amplicateur car il peut obstruer le ux d'air
autour du dissipateur thermique, provoquant
l'échauement de l'amplicateur. (L'unité placée
au-dessus de l'amplicateur deviendrait elle aussi
bouillante.)
< Assurez-vous que le récepteur de la télécommande
sur la droite du panneau d'achage n’est pas
obstrué, sinon cela peut générer l'utilisation de la
télécommande.
< Ne posez pas votre platine-disque sur cet appareil.
Les platines sont des appareils très sensibles aux
bruits générés par l’alimentation secteur. Ces
derniers peuvent s’entendre en bruit de fond si la
platine est trop proche de l’appareil.
< Le fonctionnement normal de l'appareil
peut être gêné par de fortes perturbations
électromagnétiques. Si cela se produit, il
sut de réinitialiser l'appareil avec le bouton
d'alimentation, ou de déplacer l'appareil en un
autre lieu.
Alimentation
L'amplicateur est livré avec une prise de courant
moulée intégrée au câble. Vériez que la prise livrée
correspond bien à votre circuit électrique. Vériez que
la prise livrée correspond bien à votre circuit électrique.
S’il vous faut un autre câble d’alimentation, veuillez
vous adresser à votre revendeur Arcam.
Si la tension ou les prises de votre circuit électrique sont
diérentes, contactez immédiatement votre revendeur
Arcam
Insérez la prise IEC du câble d'alimentation dans
la prise à l'arrière de l'amplicateur, en veillant à la
pousser fermement. Branchez l’autre extrémité du câble
sur votre prise secteur, et, si nécessaire, allumez celle-ci.
Câbles de branchement
Il est recommandé d’utiliser des câbles blindés de haute
qualité, conçus pour ce genre d’application. L’utilisation
d’autres câbles, dont les caractéristiques d’impédance
dièrent, risque d’aecter les performances de votre
système. (Par exemple, n’utilisez pas de câble conçu
pour un usage vidéo pour le transport des signaux
audio). Les câbles doivent être aussi courts que possible.
Lors de la connexion du matériel, il convient de vérier
que les câbles d’alimentation secteur sont positionnés
le plus loin possible de vos câbles audio. Vous éviterez
ainsi les bruits indésirables dans les signaux audio.
L’amplicateur intégré A49 d’Arcam, le préamplicateur
C49 et l’amplicateur de puissance P49/P349
garantissent une qualité audio exceptionnelle pour une
reproduction dèle de votre musique.
