Connecting to power, loudspeakers and
other equipment
Follow the installation instructions for the integrated amplier on
pages 4 and 5.
AUDIO IN – Connect this input to the output sockets of your pre-
amplier or the PRE OUT sockets of an integrated amplier.
MONO LINK – The power amplier can be adapted to provide
two mono loudspeaker outputs from a single input. Pull out
the link supplied and use it to connect the L and R AUDIO OUT
sockets together. Using one power amplier per loudspeaker
will enable you to bi-amplify bi-wireable loudspeakers.
This is particularly benecial for top quality stereo installations
with a separate pre-amplier, or where ampliers are provided
for the left, centre and right channel loudspeakers in a ve
speaker Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Digital system.
Contact your Arcam dealer for more information.
“Daisy chaining” – The power amplier can be connected to
further power ampliers to drive more speakers (e.g. those in
other rooms or tri-amplied speakers, etc).
Connect the extra power amplier inputs to the AUDIO OUT
sockets on the power amplier, left to left, right to right.
Installation: P90 power amplifer
Remote switching
By making a connection from the REMOTE IN socket of the P90
power amplier to the TRIG OUT socket of the A90 integrated
amplier, you can use the A90 to switch the power amplier on
and off. If congured in this way, the front panel POWER button
of the A90 (or the POWER/STANDBY button on the remote
control) switches both ampliers on and off together. This facility
allows you to conceal the power amplier yet still control it.
The connecting cable required is a 3.5mm to 3.5mm jack lead
(stereo or mono) and it is possible to connect several power
ampliers to an A90 by ‘daisy chaining’ from TRIG OUT of one
P90 into the REMOTE IN of the next.
Three channel option
The power amplier can be upgraded from stereo to three
channels by adding a Third Channel Module: in this case, the
model is designated P90/3.
The module offers extra loudspeaker terminals together with a
third set of AUDIO IN and OUT phono sockets and converts the
P90 into a 3 x 90W (RMS per channel into 8Ω) amplier suitable
for Home Cinema or multi-channel audio use.
Contact your Arcam dealer for further details.
