Connections for the loudspeakers are provided on the left and right sides of the rear panel. Two parallel
pairs of five way binding posts for each channel are fitted – these provide ease of use with bi-wiring and
multiple cables requiring a large contact area.

T SWITCH
This switch is located below the remote trigger terminals, and allows the signal ground to be
disconnected from the chassis. In some installations a hum loop may exist due to duplicate ground paths
from different equipment. Use this switch to remove the connection from 0V to ground thus allowing
some flexibility in your particular set-up.

In order to integrate more effectively into a home theatre system, the Plinius P8 has remote trigger
terminals fitted to the rear panel. By connecting a processor with a 5-12V remote trigger signal to these
terminals, the P8 can be put in and out of standby/mute by the processor to which it is connected. When
in standby/mute the amplifier draws less current and will operate at minimum temperature. The output
relays are also open, disconnecting the loudspeakers. This may be of advantage in a multi-amplifier
and/or remote installations. The standby/mute mode can only be activated via the remote trigger
terminals.

This connector is where the mains supply cable from your wall connects to the amplifier. You will notice
that a fuse holder is mounted within this connection, and it holds a mains fuse to provide surge and
overload protection for your amplifier.
