RCA Inputs
The IPS-1 has one RCA input available for
each amplier channel module. Connect
this to the corresponding RCA jack on your
preamplier to provide signal to the ampli-
er channel. See page 15 for a connection
diagram.
Speaker Output Terminals
The speaker output terminals for each amplier channel are located just below the RCA input
jack and channel ID label area. The top post of each binding post pair is the positive output,
and connects to the positive (red) post of your speaker. The bottom post of each pair is the
negative, and connects to the negative (black) post of your speaker. The posts can accept bare
wire, spade terminals, and dual or single banana connectors.
Spade connections or banana plugs ensure a simple, solid t in the terminal whereas bare wire
may be awkward when the terminal is screwed down to compress the wire into place. Keep in
mind that if you use “dual banana” plugs and “stack” them, you will be creating a parallel con-
nection. For more details on series and parallel connections, see pages 17-18.

the appropriate channel to this area and
it will make I/O connections or future
troubleshooting much easier.
