[. . . ] Water and moisture The presence of electricity near water can be dangerous. Do not use the appliance near water ­ for example next to a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool, etc. Object or liquid entry Take care that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through any openings. Liquid filled objects such as vases should not be placed on the equipment. [. . . ] All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel. Damage requiring service The appliance should be serviced by qualified service personnel when: A. the power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged, or objects have fallen, or liquid has spilled into the appliance, or the appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance, or the appliance has been dropped or the enclosure damaged. C. the appliance has been exposed to rain, or SAFETY COMPLIANCE This product has been designed to meet the EN60065 international electrical safety standard. 4 Installation: P35 power amplifier English + R/CH1 ­ + L/CH2 ­ SP2 AUDIO + CTR/CH3 ­ SP2 CTR/CH3 TRIG OUT VOLTAGE SELECT 230V 4 ­ 16 OHMS SP1 LINK L R 4 ­ 16 OHMS SP1 AUDIO IN REMOTE IN OUT POWER INLET + R/CH1 ­ + L/CH2 ­ IN OUT + CTR/CH3 ­ Optional Third Channel Module ­ provides a third 90W channel suitable for Home Cinema or multi-channel audio use. CONNECTING TO OTHER EQUIPMENT Follow the installation instructions for the integrated amplifier on pages 5­6. ­ Connect this input to the output sockets of your preamplifier or the PRE OUT sockets of an integrated amplifier. AUDIO IN REMOTE SWITCHING By making a connection from the REMOTE IN socket of the P35 power amplifier to the TRIG OUT socket of the A32 integrated amplifier, you can use the A32 to switch the power amplifier on and off. If configured in this way, the front panel POWER button of the A32 (or the POWER/ STANDBY button on the remote control) switches both amplifiers on and off together. This facility allows you to conceal the power amplifier 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 amplifiers to an A32 by `daisy chaining' from TRIG OUT of one P35 into the REMOTE IN of the next. ­ The power amplifier 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 amplifier per loudspeaker will enable you to bi-amplify bi-wireable loudspeakers. MONO LINK This is particularly beneficial for top quality stereo installations with a separate pre-amplifier, or where amplifiers are provided for the left, centre and right channel loudspeakers in a five speaker Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Digital system. `Daisy chaining' ­ The power amplifier can be connected to further power amplifiers to drive more speakers (e. g. Connect the extra power amplifier inputs to the on the power amplifier, left to left, right to right. AUDIO OUT THREE CHANNEL OPTION The power amplifier can be upgraded from stereo to three channels by adding a Third Channel Module: in this case, the model is designated P35/3. The module offers extra loudspeaker terminals together with a third set of AUDIO IN and OUT phono sockets and converts the P35 into a 3 x 90W (RMS per channel into 8) amplifier suitable for Home Cinema or multi-channel audio use. Contact your Arcam dealer for further details. sockets 11 Using your P35 power amplifier P35 POWER AMPLIFIER SP1 SP2 POWER POWER (AND POWER INDICATOR LIGHT) Switches the unit on and off. When you switch your amplifier on, the light glows amber for a few seconds, during which time the speakers are disconnected. You should unplug the amplifier and leave it for a few minutes before reconnecting. If the fault cannot be cleared, unplug your amplifier and contact your Arcam dealer. SP1 AND SP2 These buttons allow you to select and deselect the main (SP1) and secondary (SP2) sets of speakers attached to your amplifier. An indicator light shows which set of speakers are currently selected. NOTE: If both lights are out the amplifier will appear not to work, as all speakers are switched off. If both are on, and low impedance speakers are connected, overloads are more likely. 12 Bi-wiring and bi-amping loudspeakers BEFORE YOU START WARNING: Do not make any connections to your amplifier while it is switched on or connected to the mains supply. Before switching on please check all connections thoroughly, making sure bare wires or cables are not touching the amplifier in the wrong places (which could cause short circuits) and you have connected positive (+) to positive and negative (­) to negative. [. . . ] WARNING: This step is essential or damage to your amplifier may result which is not covered under warranty. Connect the cables as shown in the diagram below, ensuring correct polarity at all times. + R Arcam A32 amplifier + R ­ + L ­ ­ Arcam A32 amplifier + L ­ + Right speaker ­ HF LF ­ + HF LF ­ Left speaker ­ + + + HF LF ­ Right ­ speaker + + HF LF ­ Left ­ speaker ­ ­ + + R + Arcam P35 power amplifier L ­ Bi-wiring using one set of connections on amplifier Recommended bi-amping configuration 13 Technical specifications A32 Continuous power output (20Hz--20kHz at 0. 5% THD), per channel Both channels, 8, 20Hz--20kHz 100W Single channel, 8, 20Hz--20kHz 150W Both channels, 4, 20Hz--20kHz 140W Single channel, 4, at 1kHz 200W Three channels, 8, 20Hz--20kHz ­ Harmonic distortion, 80% power, 8 at 1kHz 0. 005% Inputs Phono cartridge: Input sensitivity Input impedance Signal/noise ratio (CCIR) Overload margin Line and tape inputs: Nominal sensitivity Input impedance Signal/noise ratio (CCIR) Tone controls, max. boost/cut Power amplifier input Nominal sensitivity Input impedance Gain Preamplifier output Nominal output level Maximum output level Output impedance Headphone output Maximum output level into 600 Output impedance General Mains voltage Power consumption (maximum) Power consumption (standby) Dimensions W x D x H (including feet) Weight (net) Weight (packed) Supplied accessories P35 100W 150W 140W 200W 90W 0. 005% 2. 7mV (MM); 270µV (MC) 47k (MM); 300 (MC) ­79dB (MM); ­73dB (MC) 35dB 250mV--2V 22k ­103dB ±12dB @ 80Hz and 12kHz 800mV 22k 31dB 700mV 8V RMS <50 8V 100 230V±12%; 115V±12% 800VA 2VA 430 x 370 x 110mm 10. 8kg 13kg mains lead CR-389 remote control 2 x AAA batteries ­ ­ 800mV 22k ­110dB ­ 800mV 22k 31dB ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ 230V±12%; 115V±12% 800VA (950VA for P35/3) 2VA 430 x 350 x 110mm 9. 5kg (10. 5kg for P35/3) 12. 5kg (13. 5kg for P35/3) mains lead E&OE CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT POLICY Arcam has a policy of continual improvement for its products. This means that designs and specifications are subject to change without notice. NOTE: All specification values are typical unless otherwise stated. 14 Service information Before returning your amplifier for service, please check the following: SOUND CUTS OUT FOR NO REASON If the temperature of the internal heatsink rises above a safe level, then a thermal cutout inside the amplifier will operate.
