P2 SE STEREO POWER AMPLIFIER Congratulations on your purchase of the Audio Note (UK) P2 SE stereo power amplifier. It is a Pure Class A, Single Ended valve design, which preserves the entire musical waveform as one ʻwholeʼ, producing a level of performance that is radically superior to the majority of current designs. Part selection is optimized to realize the most neutral and realistic sonic reproduction.
CONNECTION Line inputs Being a stereo power amplifier, the P2 SE is fitted with one pair of single ended / RCA inputs. Looking from behind the amplifier, they are located at bottom / right hand side of the rear panel. The Black socket is for the Left channel, the Red socket is for the Right channel. Connect the output from your preamplifier to these inputs. Speakers Each channel is equipped with 3 colour coded binding posts for connection to your speakers, located on the rear panel.
OPERATION Once all the connections are completed and checked, ensure that the volume control of your preamplifier / source is at the minimum setting. Turn on all components in the signal chain BEFORE the P2 SE; it should always be the LAST component to be switched ON, and the FIRST to be switched OFF. Turn on the amplifier by using the rotary switch located on the right of the front panel. The red front panel light should now be lit.
