CONNECTION OF ONE OR MORE POWER AMPLIFIERS
The SA-96 preamplifier has two stereo preamplifier outputs with RCA connectors for the connection to the
main amplifier(s). The stereo audio signal (R, L) is output on each of the two RCA socket pairs. So you
have the option to connect one or two stereo main amplifiers, up to four mono main amplifiers or one mul-
tichannel main amplifier to supply up to four loudspeakers. This also allows you to operate either more
than two loudspeakers or two loudspeakers in Bi-amping (e.g. with two stereo main amplifiers). The main
amplifiers supply the system's loudspeakers and the loudspeakers are connected to the outputs of these.
Connect the required output sockets in the field "OUTPUT" with the RCA input sockets of the main ampli-
fier channels (often marked as "INPUT" or "POWER AMP IN"). For this you need RCA cables. The follo-
wing drawing shows the connection of two mono main amplifiers (e.g. Vincent SP-996).

RCA connection
If main amplifier channels are to be connected for two pairs of loudspeakers, please additionally use the
second stereo pair of the preamplifier outputs.
If there are four main amplifier channels available and the loudspeakers support this, it is also possible to
operate one pair of loudspeakers in "Bi-amping". The loudspeakers used must be suitable for this. You will
recognise this by the double connection of the loudspeaker terminal whose bridges can be removed for ope-
ration in Bi-amping or Bi-wiring. Your specialist dealer will advise you of this on request.
CONNECTING HEADPHONES
A set of headphones equipped with a 6.3 mm jack can be plugged into the "PHONES" socket (8) on the
front of the appliance.
All headphones with an impedance of between 32 Ohm and 600 Ohm may be used. Unsuitable head-
phones with too low impedance may damage the amplifier or produce such unexpectedly loud volume
that your hearing may be damaged. The volume should be reduced for safety reasons before a set of
phones is connected. The output signals of the preamplifier are not affected by plugging-in headphones.
