1. VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH

Note: For use by Cambridge Audio service personnel only!

2. AC POWER SOCKET

3. SPEAKER TERMINALS

Note: When using a banana plug, make sure the speaker terminals are completely tightened before inserting the plug.

Connect the wires from your left channel loudspeaker to the left positive and negative terminals and the wires from the right channel loudspeaker to the

right positive and negative terminals.

In each case, the red terminal is the positive output and the black terminal is the negative output.

Care should be taken to ensure no stray strands of wire short the speaker outputs together. Please ensure that the loudspeaker terminals have been

tightened completely to provide a good electrical connection.

It is possible for the sound quality to be aﬀected if the screw terminals are loose.

4. LOOP OUT - This output can be used for bi-amping, daisy chaining or connecting to the input of an active subwoofer.

The XLR output is balanced and the RCA output is unbalanced.

5. BALANCED/UNBALANCED SWITCH - Select depending on whether a source is connected to the balanced XLR or unbalanced RCA input.

Note: There will be no sound from the amp if the correct input isn’t selected. If a source is connected to the balanced input, for example, ensure that the

balanced switch has been selected.

6. BALANCED/UNBALANCED INPUTS - The XLR input is balanced and the RCA input is unbalanced.

7. AUTO POWER DOWN (APD) SWITCH - Switches to enable or disable the Auto Power Down function. When enabled, the ampliﬁer will automatically

switch to standby mode after inactivity of 20 minutes.

8. LINK - Refer to the 'Power syncing' section of this manual for more information.

Getting connected

Last updated: August 9, 2022 05:05. Revision #5721

LOUDSPEAKERS

Check the impedance of your speakers. You can use types with an impedance of between 4 and 8 Ohms.

The red coloured speaker terminals are positive (+) and the black speaker terminals are negative (-). Make sure the correct polarity is maintained at

each speaker connector or the sound can become weak and “phasey” with little bass.

USING BARE WIRE CONNECTIONS

Prepare the speaker cords for connection by stripping oﬀ approximately 10mm (3/8”) or less of the outer insulation. More than 10mm could cause a

short circuit. Twist the wires tightly together so there are no loose ends. Unscrew the speaker terminal, insert the speaker cable, tighten the terminal

and secure the cable.

Note: All connections are made using standard loudspeaker cable.

USING BANANA PLUGS

We recommend using Banana plugs with our units to establish a secure connection and ensure there are no loose strands of wire that may cause

unwanted noise or interference.

Once you have stripped the outer insulation of the cable and twisted the wires as indicated below, securely connect these to your banana plugs and

push the plug in as far as possible without applying excessive force.

Note: When using a banana plug, make sure the speaker terminals are completely tightened before inserting the plug.

BASIC CONNECTIONS

The analogue inputs are to be connected to the Pre-Outs of a Preampliﬁer or Integrated amp. The diagrams below show the basic connection from a

Preampliﬁer.

Unbalanced input:

Using RCA cables will enable an unbalanced analogue connection to your EDGE W.

If using RCA cables, ensure the ‘Unbalanced’ switch on your EDGE W is selected.
