MAINS POWER CONNECTION The Product 8 Pre Amplifier comes with an IEC mains lead fitted with the relevant plug type for the country of use. [. . . ] If you are in any doubt as to which leads to use, please consult your dealer. Normal Stereo Configuration (Using one Power Amplifier) The Product 8 Pre Amplifier can be used in normal stereo mode with any model of power amp, although we would recommend the Product 8 Power Amplifier for optimum performance. The connection can be done in either through unbalance RCA or balanced XLR connection. The cables should connect the Product 8 Pre Amplifier `preamp output' with the `preamp input' on the Power amplifier. Bridged Stereo Configuration (Using Two Product 8 Power Amplifiers) The Product 8 Pre Amplifier can be in bridged mode when connect a Product 8 Power Amplifier per channel. This is done by connecting a XLR or RCA cable through one of the channel on the Product 8 Pre Amplifier `preamp output' to the bridged `preamp input' on one of the Product 8 Power Amplifier. Do the same on the other channel. Mains Fuse: Ensure correct rating and type for voltage used!Do not remove any panels for risk of electric shock!
