The ACS switch options are:
: This option provides a stereo output via both left and right output channels from a stereo
signal connected to both left and right input RCA inputs.
This option configures your amplifier to drive one loudspeaker from one
unbalanced signal fed to the RIGHT RCA input. The loudspeaker is connected to both channels positive
(+) output terminals, giving an available power in this mode four times the rated output of the amplifier,
approximately 1000 watts into 8 ohms. Special care must be taken in connecting the input signal and
loudspeakers to ensure safe operation and best possible performance.
This option provides a stereo output signal from a balanced stereo input signal connected
to both the left and right XLR inputs. All the advantages of balanced line transmission will be realised with
good rejection of noise and some freedom from earth or ground loops (hum).
In this mode both channels of your Plinius SA-Reference combine to operate as
a true balanced mono amplifier, from input to output. This configuration provides the highest quality
mono performance from a balanced line input connected to the RIGHT BALANCED XLR INPUT. As with
RCA Bridged configuration, the loudspeaker is connected to both channels positive (+) output terminals.
Available power in this mode is four times the rated output of the amplifier, approximately 1000 watts
RMS into 8 ohms. Special care must be taken in connecting the input signal and loudspeakers to ensure
safe operation and best possible performance.
Balanced or unbalanced input options will depend on the type of signal available from your preamplifier or
other equipment. The Plinius SA-Reference provides both options to allow you to choose the most
suitable preamplifier for your purposes. Plinius Preamplifiers offer both balanced and unbalanced output
options.
is normally used to transmit signals in a professional environment. Because balanced
line effectively reduces or eliminates noise pick-up by the system cabling, it has become increasingly
more important in high-quality domestic high fidelity systems.
leads such as single ended, RCA or coaxial are common and are used in the majority of
audio signal systems. The terminal plug and socket are most commonly called RCA and can be found on
your Plinius SA-Reference for use as the standard input terminals for both left and right inputs.
Output connections for the loudspeakers are provided on the left and right hand side of the rear panel.
Two parallel pairs of binding posts for each channel are fitted – these provide ease of use with bi-wiring
and multiple cables requiring a large contact area.
