CONNECTING YOUR P 7
Always disconnect the AC cords to your P 7 and power amplifi er(s) before making or
changing any input, output or trigger wire connections.
Inserting or removing an input or
output cable while the P 7 or power amplifi ers are turned on can result in a blast of sound that can
damage your loudspeakers. Make sure there is no strain or tension on any cables that could cause
them to pull loose. The P 7 has many different types of audio and control connections and some
of them may not be familiar. Please read this section thoroughly before making any connections.

•
1 pair of balanced XLR inputs (In 8/Balanced)

2 multi-channel inputs for surround sound movies and music (In 9/Multi 1 and In 10/Multi 2)

sound if you have an MM cartridge and the selector switch is set to MC.
