It is important that you connect your loudspeakers (outputs) and preamplifier (inputs) to the Plinius P8
Power Amplifier correctly to ensure the amplifier is not damaged, and sounds its best with your system.
Now that you have read and familiarised yourself with the connections on the back of the amplifier, as
covered in the previous section, we will describe in detail how to connect the amplifier to your system.
Connect your preamplifier to the RCA inputs on the back of the Plinius P8. Make sure you connect the red
coded cable to the red RIGHT RCA input, and the black (or white) cable to the black LEFT RCA input. Also
make sure the RCA connectors are a snug fit and are inserted all the way in.
Next, connect your loudspeaker wires to the output posts. Connect your right loudspeaker (i.e. the one on
the right of you when seated in your normal listening position) to the right output terminals, ensuring that
the red positive (+) terminal is connected to the red terminal on your loudspeaker. Do the same with the
black or negative (-) terminals.

Quality of the connections must be examined to ensure that high-performance, trouble-free operation is
enjoyed. Check that the connections are tight but do not over tighten. If bare wires are used make sure
that no loose strands of wire short across the other terminals or the amplifier chassis. When using plugs
such as bananas, be sure to use good quality plugs with a firm fit.

Bi-wiring uses two pairs of loudspeaker cables for each channel loudspeaker. You will notice that the rear
panel of your Plinius P8 has two pairs of output terminals for this purpose. When using bi-wires, always
connect positive (+) to positive (+) and the same for the negative (-) terminals.

It is important to achieve good stereo imaging in your listening room. By observing the wiring
instructions above, each power amplifier/loudspeaker combination should be in phase. If you experience
poor stereo image and/or a lack of bass, check that the loudspeaker wiring has been connected correctly.
We recommend that you use one of the easily obtainable ‘test discs’ to help you ensure both phasing and
channel orientation are correct. If in doubt, consult your PLINIUS
