TiTAN
INSTALLATION

Page 6 of 12
SETTING UP
Position the TiTAN on a stable, horizontal surface where
there is no risk of it being knocked.
Make sure ALL units involved are switched off and
unplugged from mains supply before making or removing any
connections.
During normal use, the unit develops a certain amount of
internal heat and therefore should be sensibly situated where it
can radiate this heat most efficiently. If this is not realised,
heat build-up will occur and may cause the amplifier to
prematurely shut itself down. It is thus recommend that the
unit is situated in an open rather than enclosed space as well as
away from other sources of heat.
AUDIO CONNECTIONS
Inputs: The TiTAN has single ended (RCA) line level and
balanced (XLR) line level input. Choose the desired input to
be used:
UNBALANCED RCA LINE LEVEL OUTPUTS:
The line input allows direct connection from a preamplifier or
amplifier’s preamp outputs (100K input impedance).
Use dual (or two single) RCA phono to phono cable(s) to
connect left and right RCA outputs on the preamplifier to the
left and right RCA inputs on the TiTAN.
Make sure the input selector slide switch on the back panel is
set to “unbalanced”.
BALANCED XLR LINE LEVEL INPUTS:
The line input allows direct connection from a preamplifier or
amplifier’s balanced preamp outputs (100K input impedance).
Use a single XLR balanced cable to connect output on the
preamplifier left output to the left balanced line level input
XLR on the TiTAN. Use another single XLR balanced cable
to connect output on the preamplifier right output to the right
balanced line level input XLR on the TiTAN.
Make sure the input selector slide switch on the back panel is
set to “balanced”.
Note: in both input cases it is assumed that the driving
preamplifier has a VOLUME CONTROL to allow setting of
listening level. This is important as the TiTAN has no
control of its own.
OUTPUTS:
Connect loudspeakers to the terminals on the back panel
marked OUTPUTS.
When wiring up the speakers check the speaker wiring for
polarity markings. Use the “positive” speaker lead to connect
positive (RED) on the TiTAN output to the positive binding
post on the speaker, and the “negative” lead to connect the
negative (BLACK) on the TiTAN output to the negative
binding post on the speaker.
MAINS POWER INPUT
Check the two power supply front panel mains switches are
set to “off” (out). Connect the supplied mains leads to the IEC
sockets near base of back panel. Connect the other end to a
mains power socket.
Note: Both mains leads must be connected for normal
operation.
POWER AND CONTROL INTERCONNECTS
Connect the black XLR cable between the control PSU output
on the power supply and the control PSU input on the
amplifier.
Use one of the large silver/grey “Neutrik” leads to connect
the LEFT PSU OUTPUT on the power supply to the LEFT
PSU INPUT on the amplifier.
Use the other large silver/grey “Neutrik” lead to connect the
RIGHT PSU OUTPUT on the power supply to the RIGHT
PSU INPUT on the amplifier.
Important note: The amplifier will not switch on if the left
and right PSU leads are incorrectly connected. The
amplifier will switch on briefly then off again.
TRIGGER INPUT
A remote triggering input is available to allow the amplifier to
be turned on automatically by other equipment. This is a 2-
way 3.5mm jack on the back of the unit labelled
“TRIGGER”. It requires 5 to 12V (either polarity) to switch
the amplifier on. Such a trigger signal is available from (for
example) most home theatre setups.
CAUTION!
This amplifer features a BRIDGED output and should NOT
be grounded on either output terminal as both are effectively
“hot”. Please check if using any active “sub”, electrostatic, or
other non standard speaker types directly connected to the
speaker outputs of the TiTAN. Consult speaker manual or
supplier/dealer if in doubt.
Most high quality speakers will comfortably cope with large
power transients. By their nature, these are very quick and
will present no thermal problems for a good commercial
quality loudspeaker.
However please note that most loudspeakers are not
designed for very high sustained listening levels. The TiTAN
is a very powerful amplifier and will faithfully deliver what is
asked of it. If listening levels are set significantly higher than
normal, it is possible that the loudspeakers could get into
thermal problems and be damaged. Musical Fidelity will not
be responsible for any loss or damage to loudspeakers.
Please take care with listening levels, which can damage
hearing, and consider the noise suffered by others, such as
neighbours.
Additional note-
If bi-amping, please ensure that all speaker shorting links
linking treble and bass units are removed. Failure to do so
may result in damage to connected amplifier(s). See
loudspeaker instructions for more information.
CLEANING
Before cleaning the unit, switch off power at the mains
switch and remove both the mains plugs from the wall socket.
Clean the cabinet and remote control unit using a moist cloth.
We do not advise using solvents, white spirit or thinners as
they could damage the surface finish.
