Setup Menu Options
Loudspeaker Connection
Connect loudspeakers to the outputs of the
eVo amplifier using the 5-way binding posts
located the rear of the amplifier. The red or
black center plug in the output post can be
removed for use with banana type connec-
tors (all non CE countries). Do not connect
speaker terminals to a ground connection.
The Anti-Phase operation of the outputs
would result in one of the red (positive) out-
puts being connected to ground and cause
the amplifier to go into protection mode and
shut itself off.
Make certain that no connection from the
output terminals is made to a chassis or
earth ground.
