Connection of adapted devices

This high quality device includes gold-plated connectors for a reliable and lasting contact. We invite you to

use quality cables, to reach the best performance.

Connecting speakers

The

CARAT

A57

ampliﬁ er can be connected to 2 pairs of speakers. This allows you to have sound in 2

different areas or to use 2 pairs of speakers in the same room. (to compare them, for instance).

The terminals are sized to receive large cables. Do not use cables less than 1,5mm

. If the speakers are

more than 5 meters (200 inches) away from the ampliﬁ er, we advise you to use larger cables (2,5 or 4 mm

13 or 11 AWG)

Connecting a turntable

This ampliﬁ er is equipped with a preamp for audiophile turntables. It is compatible with mobile magnet (MM)

and mobile spools (MC) cells.

A switch, located on the rear panel, allows to select the sensitivity. If you do not know the type of cell that

equips your turntable, select MM. If the sound is weak, your cell is an MC type.

A ground plug (GND) allows to connect the mass of the turntables arm to the mass of the ampliﬁ er.

This is necessary to avoid any «rumble» effect from the speakers.

CAUTION

Due to the fact that the sensitivity varies from a turntable to another and to the fact that the

recording level of vinyls is not the same as the recording level of CD’s. The outlet level will probably be

weaker than with a CD, using the same settings.

Connecting an MP3 player

Connect the MP3 player

on the front pane

l, using a 3,5 mm mini-jack plug. It is compatible with the head-

phone outlet of your MP3 player.
