3.5 Connecting loudspeakers
WARNING!
<Danger from electric shock!
<Touching live parts can cause electric shock, burns or death.
<Disconnect the mains plug from the socket before connecting the speakers.
<Make sure that the power supply is disconnected and remains disconnected.
<Use speakers with an impedance of 4–16 Ω.
<Make sure that the speaker cables are
correctly assigned to the connections on
the unit. Note the orientation (right/left)
and the polarity (+/–).
3.5.1 Direct connection
The following points must be observed for the direct connection of the loudspeaker
cables:
<Make sure that the bare wires of the cables do not touch each other.

• Two active subwoofers (2.2 system)
• Further power amplifier
• Mixing desk
• Recording device
)The instructions for the external device must be observed.
Settings on the unit for volume and sound also affect the signal of the pre-amplifier
output.
<Insert the plugs into the appropriate
connection sockets.
The unit and subwoofer must be set to the same high-pass filter frequency.

3.6.2 PHONO-IN (MM)
The “PHONO IN (MM)” connection allows you to connect a turntable with an
MMcartridge (“moving magnet”).
)The instructions for the turntable must be followed.
Observe the following points:
• The turntable and, if present, a connected pre-amplifier must be switched off when
establishing the connection.
• The GND connection is used to connect the earth cable from the turntable to reduce
disturbing noises (e.g. humming, hissing).
• Depending on the turntable, disturbing noises may increase when the earth cable is
connected. In this case, remove the earth cable.
• The GND connection is not a safety earth.
<Insert the plugs into the appropriate
connection sockets.
<Connect the earth cable.
3.7 Establishing a power supply
<Plug the power cable into the device.
WARNING!
<Danger from electric shock!
<The polarity of the mains plug may affect the sound quality. A red marking is applied
to the mains plug to indicate the live side (phase). The corresponding side on the
socket can be determined with the help of a phase detector. Touching live parts can
cause electric shock, burns or death.
<Observe the safety information for the use of a phase detector.
<If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
<Connect the power cable to the mains
socket.
<Make sure that the mains socket used is
accessible at all times.
<Switch on the main switch.
