Caution!
• NEVER connect a power amplifier's output terminals to
any device other than a loudspeaker.
• NEVER short-circuit the amplifier's output terminals.
• NEVER connect the output terminals of one amplifier to
the output terminals of another amplifier unless connecting
for bridge mode operation (see Bridged Operation below).
Caution! There are two recommended methods for connecting
speaker cables to your amplifier. A high-quality spade lug or
hook lug, soldered to the cable (or crimped with extremely high
pressure), is best.
Spade lug Hook lug
• Connect a + (positive or red) output post of the amplifier
to the + (positive or red) input terminal of the appropriate
loudspeaker.
• Connect a - (negative or black) output post of the amplifier
to the - (negative or black) input terminal of the
appropriate loudspeaker.
Caution!
• DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN the binding posts on your
amplifier! The unique design of these posts gives far more
leverage than traditional posts. You will achieve tight,
high-contact pressure connections with only modest finger-
tightening, and without having to resort to special tools.
• DO NOT FORCE the nut over a bent or oversized
connector, as this may damage the binding post. If your
connectors obstruct the turning of the nut, slide the
connectors into place when the binding post opening is a
snug fit; then apply a final quarter-turn as needed to
tighten the connection.
3. Balanced Audio Input
Bravo will accept a signal from a preamplifier with balanced
outputs via a high quality XLR or Fischer connector.
