Located in a small drawer below the 
MAINS/LINE RECEPTACLE is the 
MAINS/LINE FUSE. The drawer can only 
be opened when the mains/line cord is 
removed  See the relevant section for 
more details on replacement fuses. 

 

 

7.  LOUDSPEAKER OUTPUT TERMINALS 
 

The 200P is equipped with two double 
sets of output terminals per channel to 
enable easy hook-up for bi-wiring of 
loudspeakers or additional loudspeakers. 
These are high quality gold plated 
terminals.  All terminals are clearly 
marked and colour coded RED Positive 
(+) and BLACK Negative (-).  This 
polarity must be strictly observed when 
connecting up loudspeakers, i.e. positive 
terminal of the 200P to the positive 
terminal of the loudspeaker.  negative 
terminal of the 200P to the negative 
terminal of the loudspeaker.  Good 
quality, preferably gold plated spade or 
banana type terminals are recommended 
together with a high quality loudspeaker 
cable. 

 

The loudspeaker leads, for both left and 
right channels should be cut to equal 
lengths and be as short as possible.  This 
is to maintain uniform resistance at the 
lowest possible level. If the installation 
demands that the  200P be closer to one 
loudspeaker than the other, avoid neatly 
coiling any excess loudspeaker cable as 
this can create inductance and may 
affect high frequency signals. Always 
ensure connections are clean, firm and 
tight.

NOTE :   You will also find on the rear panel 
written information and relevant precautions.  
Read and observe the information to ensure 
your safety and trouble free operation from 
your Perreaux   200P. 

 
CONNECTIONS 

 
Connect your loudspeakers and preamplifier 
to the 200P by following the numbered code 
on page 3 & 4. 
 
Follow the sequence given in the next 
section, INSTALLATION & OPERATION 
PROCEDURES.  This section incorporates 
all the information in the various areas of this 
manual to assist installation. 
 
When connecting the 200P to auxiliary 
equipment terminate the interconnect cables 
with a red plug for the right channel and 
white, black or blue for the left channel.  
Terminate speaker cables using red for 
positive (+) and black, white or blue for 
negative (-). 
 
These are the most commonly accepted 
colour coding combinations in use 
internationally to help maintain channel and 
phase integrity (i.e. left to left, right to right, 
positive to positive, and negative to negative).  
After making all the connections, lay the 
leads and cables out in such a way so that 
loudspeaker leads are well away from the 
interconnect cables, and both are well 
separated from mains/line power cables. 

PROCEDURES 

 
Position all the separate components of your 
system close enough to your 200P to avoid 
having to stretch or extend any of the 
interconnect cables. Always make left and 
right channel connections while viewing the 
equipment you are connecting from the front. 
This will help ensure channel continuity 
throughout your system. Avoid errors by 
adopting a systematic approach when 
connecting your system together.  Make all 
connections logically and carefully. 
 
Note :   Always switch off your 200P and 
ensure that the volume control on your 
preamplifier is set to zero before making any 
connections or alterations. 
 
A recommended sequence of connection is 
as follows : 
 
- 

Connect your loudspeakers to the output 
terminals (7) of the 200P. Be careful to 
maintain channel integrity, i.e. left to left, 
right to right, and phase integrity, positive 
(+) to positive (+), and negative (-) to 
negative (-). 

-  With the power switch (5) turned off, 

connect the output from your preamplifier 
to the 200P input sockets 

  

(2 

or 3). Ensure the position of the input 

configuration switch (4) is set for the type 
of interconnect cable being used i.e. 
balanced or unbalanced. 

 
-  Try to keep all inter-linking cables and 

loudspeaker leads as far apart as 
possible and well away from all 
mains/line cables.
