All other power amplifiers are switched on/off via the BurSync connection.

CONNECTING THE LOUDSPEAKERS
WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE AT THE BINDING POSTS Hazardous voltages may be present at the binding posts during operation. Before connecting the loudspeakers, switch off all components of your music system, and do not switch them on until you have made all the connections properly. Never operate the power amplifier without the binding post covers in place. No live parts should be exposed once you have connected the loudspeaker.

SPEAKER CABLES
Burmester recommends using cables with a large cross-section to connect the loudspeakers to the power amplifier. A large cross-section ensures that you can maintain the power amplifier’s damping factor for optimal control of the loudspeakers. The best results are achieved by using original Burmester speaker cables, which have the same electrical and tonal characteristics as the internal wiring of Burmester loudspeakers and amplifiers.

ATTENTION

  • The insulation on your selected speaker cable must match that of the original Burmester loudspeaker cable and must have a flame rating of at least VW-1. If in doubt, contact your dealer.
  • The cables are connected with spade lugs, which requires you to use fully assembled cables.

CORRECT POLARITY
When connecting the loudspeakers, make sure that the connections have the correct polarity. It is important that you make all connections in phases:

  •  Positive output on power amplifier (+) = positive input on loudspeaker
  • Negative output on power amplifier (–) = negative input on loudspeaker

NOTE
Connecting the two channels out of phase causes poor bass and diffuse playback.

SHORT-CIRCUITING THE SPEAKER OUTPUTS
Connecting the positive and negative terminals of the speaker’s binding posts while the amplifier is on will cause a short circuit. In this event, the speaker outputs will automatically switch off to prevent damage to the device. The front LED (1) will flash orange. On the control panel, LED 1 in the status display (17) will light up orange.

To reset the protective function after a short circuit:

  1. Switch off the power amplifier.
  2. Check the connections to the loudspeakers.
  3. Switch the power amplifier on again.
  4. If the error persists, please contact your dealer.
  5. Even though the protection circuit will prevent damage to the power amplifier, you should observe the following instructions to avoid a short circuit:
  6. Switch off the power amplifier before connecting the speaker cables.
  7. Connect the speaker cables to the loudspeakers first, then to the power amplifier.
  8. Never connect the positive and negative terminals of the speaker’s binding posts to each other or to other conductive parts, e.g. the housing of the power amplifier

Classic Connection
ARRANGE FOR A SKILLED PERSON TO CARRY OUT THIS STEP!

Bi-amping
This is the most common connection method. With this method, each channel on the power amplifier is connected to a loudspeaker via a 2-pole cable. Two mono power amplifiers are therefore required for stereo playback.

CONNECT THE LOUDSPEAKERS AS FOLLOWS

  1. Switch off the power amplifier, if necessary.
  2. Connect one end of the speaker cable to the negative terminal on the loudspeaker.
  3. Completely loosen the negative binding post (blue) by turning it anticlockwise.
  4. Remove the binding post cover.
  5. Place the spade lug on the binding post and slip the post cover over the spade lug.
  6. Fasten the negative binding post (blue) to the negative terminal (–) by turning it clockwise.
  7. Connect the speaker cable to the positive terminal on the loudspeaker.
  8. Completely loosen the positive binding post (red) by turning it anticlockwise.
  9. Remove the binding post cover.
  10. Place the spade lug on the binding post and slip the post cover over the post.
  11. Fasten the positive binding post (red) to the positive terminal (+) by turning it clockwise.

Bi-amping

In bi-amping, woofers, mid-range drivers, and tweeters are connected to separate power amplifier channels. Four mono power amplifiers are therefore required for this type of connection. Please check with your dealer whether your loudspeakers are suitable for bi-amping and refer to the operation manual for your speakers.
