CHAPTER 2
Amplifi er connections
If your amplifi er has XLR inputs, 
it can be connected to the balanced 
audio outputs as shown. It is prefer-
able to use the XLR con nec tions if 
you have this option, because they of-
fer superior noise rejection compared 
to un bal anced (RCA) connections, 
especially for long cable runs.
(or use RCA unbalanced
outputs as needed)

This diagram shows a Sunfi re 
TGA-7400 seven-channel am pli fi er. 
The TGP-5 side-axis outputs can be 
connected to other amplifi ers, and its 
subwoofer output can connect to a 
powered subwoofer.
You can also use a Sunfi re TGA-
5400 or TGA-5200 amplifi er, which 
have fi ve channels, or use separate 
amplifi ers for each pair.
This diagram also shows the TGP-5 
12 VDC trigger output connected to 
the 12 VDC trigger input of the Sunfi re 
amplifi er. The amplifi er automatically 
turns on whenever the TGP-5 main 
zone is turned on.
