POLARITY
Please note that the 850 Power Amplifier conforms to the standard of
pin 2 as the high or hot pin for the balanced input.
The polarity of the 850 Power Amplifier is such that a positive-going
transition at pin 2 will produce a positive-going transition at the “+”
output terminal.
CONNECTING YOUR LOUDSPEAKERS
Do not use any wrenches on the loudspeaker binding posts. Tighten
these connectors only by hand.
WARNING: This is a high power amplifier. When driven, there is a
high voltage potential at the terminals.
Connections should be made with the mains disconnected.
Select spade terminals which accept 6 mm or .250 inch diameter
binding posts. One set of output connections are provided to enable
easy passive biamping.
There is no provision for the use of banana plugs. These plugs
have been proven to come loose over time which increases the contact
resistance and distortion. For the same reasons we also do NOT
recommend the use of banana plugs at the speaker end.
