INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Oracle Audio P 1000. Stereo Power Amplifier. Please read
carefully the instructions before using the P 1000. This unit is manufactured under strict
quality control and must be used properly for safety and optimal performance.
The Oracle Audio P 1000 is a power amplifier with 200W of output in STEREO mode.
Not only does it have outstanding musical performance, but it also has a capacity enough
to drive most of the high-end speakers in the market.
When converted into a bridged mode, it perfectly runs as a monaural amplifier with an
output power of 600W per unit.
The P 1000 power amplifier has four power transistors per channel. To ensure top musical
performance and longer life of operation, special circuits are applied which is unique for
the P 1000. Remote power switching is available by 12V trigger signal through connection
with a preamplifier or a surround processor.

CONNECTION
STEREO AMPLIFIER
[Fig. 1] Unbalanced Connection

[Fig. 2] Balanced Connection
yConnection to the preamplifier should be made with unbalanced interconnect
cable or balanced interconnect cable.
yCheck if the Stereo & Bridged switch on the back panel is in position ‘STEREO’.
yWhen using an unbalanced cable, make sure that the input selection switch for
both left & right parts should be in position ‘UNBALANCED.’
yChange the selection switch to 'BALANCED’ when using a balanced cable.
yWhen using a 12V trigger, connect one end of the ordinary RCA type cable to
the output terminal of the 12V trigger of the preamplifier or surround processor,
while the other end should be connected to the trigger terminal of the P 1000.
yAfter every connection is completed, turn the main power on.
The indicator on the front panel will change to green showing that the product

is ready for normal operation.
BRIDGED MODE
[Fig. 3] Balanced Connection
yThe P 1000 can be operated as a monaural amplifier.
yAs an input terminal, only the ‘LEFT’ input is operational.
yCheck if ‘BRIDGED’ switch is selected for the bridged monaural application.
yAs directed, only ‘(+)’ speaker terminals are used in connection of the speaker
for the mono application.
yAfter every connection is completed, turn the preamplifier on first. Then turn the
Oracle Audio P 1000 on.
