Audiolab 8000P Manuale Utente
Connecting Loudspeakers
Switch power off when connecting loudspeakers.
Use good quality low resistance loudspeaker cable.
Connect the Positive RED (+) terminal of the amplifier to the Positive (+) RED
terminal of the loudspeaker. Connect the Negative (-) BLACK terminals similarly.
Tighten the loudspeaker terminals securely by hand. Make there are no loose
strands of wire which could cause shorts.
When bi-wiring loudspeakers, make sure you remove the straps connecting the HF
and LF terminal pairs.

8000M - Standard Loudspeaker Connection
If you are stacking the 8000M, by convention the Left Channel is the upper connection
8000M - Bi-Wired Loudspeaker Connection
Bi-wiring offers improved sound quality because high and low frequency signals are carried individually to the loudspeaker drive units.
8000P - Bi-Amplified Loudspeaker Connection
The principle of Bi-wiring can be extended by using a dedicated power amplifier for each loudspeaker drive unit
Standard and Bi-Wired loudspeaker connections using the 8000P are shown in Section 3a.

Power Amplifier Protection Circuits
Short Circuit Protection:
DC Offset Protection:
Thermal Protection:
If the output terminals are connected together or there
is a short caused by a faulty speaker or connecting lead, the amplifier will mute and
un-mute until the fault condition is removed.
un-mute until the fault condition is removed.
If there is an internal or external fault which may cause DC
voltage to be presented to the loudspeaker, the amplifier will mute and stay muted
until the fault is removed.
until the fault is removed.
If the amplifier is driven excessively for long periods, or the
output devices are pushed beyond their safe operating area, the amplifier will
switch off and then switch back on again when it has cooled down.
In all cases, if the amplifier does not respond to remedial action, consult your dealer.
