English 9 operating together, Rotel is able to specify the true power output for all channels. components. Also avoid routing audio signal cables near power cords. This will minimize the chance it will pick up hum or interference. This can be important for your enjoyment, too. When watching movies, it’s nice to have the amplifier able to reproduce full power into all the channels at the same time, especially in the case of a volcano exploding! The unit generate heat as part of their normal operation.
C8 / C8+ Eight Channel Power Amplifiers 10 Power Switch and Power Indicator 1 Analog Inputs 8 12V Trigger Input and Output 0 For each pair of amplifier channels, connect the left channel output of your preamp to the LEFT INPUT on the amplifier. Connect the right channel of your preamp to the RIGHT INPUT. Make sure that the input A slide switch is in the STEREO position. The jack labeled OUT is for connecting another 3.5mm mono plug/cable to provide a 12 volt trigger signal to other components.
English 11 Polarity and Phasing The polarity – the positive/negative orientation of the connections – for every speaker and amplifier connection must be consistent so all the speakers will be in phase. If the polarity of one connection is reversed, bass output will be very weak and stereo imaging degraded. All wire is marked so you can identify the two conductors. There may be ribs or a stripe on the insulation of one conductor.
