INSTRUCTIONS
Unpacking
The Encore 150 consists of 2 units each packed in a separate carton. Check to be sure
you have both cartons. The packing boxes for the Encore 150 Amplifier should arrive
in good condition. Please inspect for damage to the carton, although this is most
unlikely due to the strength of the carton construction. Open packing carefully and
save all foam pieces and boxes for reuse in the event that the unit must be shipped in
the future. Should the boxes become lost, please contact the factory for replacement
cartons.
Each carton should contain:
-
I
Encore 150 Amplifier
-
1
heavy duty A.C. cable
-
1
5/64 Allen wrench
-
1
warranty card
-
1
owner's manual
-

Installation
Be certain the amplifier is installed so that it has proper ventilation. Placing the unit
in a small, close-fitting enclosure is not recommended. Room air temperature should
not exceed 122 degrees F./50 degrees C.
Cable
and Adapter
Selection
The Encore 150 Amplifier has three-pin Fischer connectors for highest quality
balanced line input capability. It is recommended that input connections be made
using Cello Strings cable. Cello Strings are stocked in lengths of 1,1.5,2,3,5.8 and 10
meters. Terminations are available to suit the particular components of your system.
Custom lengths are available on special order. If it is necessary to convert Fischer
inputs to RCA, use the E3 adapters. The best way to convert to single ended
operation is to use Cello Strings cable (which has three conductors and a shield) with
Fischer male on one end and RCA connector on the other. This preserves the three-
wire system from the amplifier to the source unit and provides better grounding and
common-mode rejection. To interface with XLR systems, it is recommended that
Cello Strings cable be used with Fischer male on one end and XLR female on the
other end.
