Safety instructions

AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. Before connecting to the mains, make sure that the

voltage in your area meets the voltage requirements printed on the power supply.

The power supply is used to connect/disconnect the unit from the mains. Make sure that the power supply

is easily accessible at all times. Never handle the device, the power supply while your hands are wet or

damp.

Avoid letting liquids enter the device or the power supply. Never place any item containing

liquid, such as a flower vase on or near the device. Never spill any liquid on the device or the power

supply. Never place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles on or near the device. The product

shall not be used in damp or wet locations, next to a bathtub, sink, swimming pool or any other similar

conditions.

Connectors

1. Make all connections whilst the unit is disconnected from the mains.

2. Never connect or disconnect the power supply to or from the unit whilst the power supply is connected

to the mains. Never use any other power supply than the supplied one, with the exception of dedicated

Power Boxes which can replace original power supplies.

3. Take care to connect the left and right channels of RCA inputs correctly. The right channel is usually

marked red, the left channel black or white.

Speaker connections for the left speaker are located on the right-hand

side of rear view above,

connections to right speaker are located on the left side. Speaker connectors marked red represent

Mains power connection and methods to switch the unit on and off

Connect the low voltage plug from the power supply to the Power 36V DC socket of the unit before

connecting the power supply to the mains. Stereo Box DS3 can be switched on and off by using 2 different

methods which are equal in priorities.

1. Using front pushbutton to switch on or into standby

The pushbutton on the front panel of the unit alternately turns the power on or returns it to standby mode. The

2. Remote power on - triggers

Stereo Box DS3 can be switched on via other Box Design components when a 12V trigger voltage is present

at the 2.5mm socket marked Trigger Input. Special power-on cables (polarity ) in diverse lengths are

available as accessories. The remote power-on signal can be relayed to further units via the Trigger Output

socket. When the 12V trigger signal is switched off, Stereo Box DS3 will also switch off.

Trigger cables may only be plugged into the sockets when the amplifier is disconnected from the power

supply and from the mains. Failure to do so may result in damage of the unit.

Line output

A power amplifier, active loudspeakers or an active subwoofer can be connected to the output sockets marked

Var Output.

Fix Line Output

Fix Output connects an analogue record device or a headphone amplifier.

Connection to the speakers

The output terminals accept loudspeaker cables terminated with 4mm ∅Banana plugs, spades connectors or

naked wire.

Phono input

Connect the tonearm signal lead to the Phono input of the amplifier. The MM/MC switch on the back panel

allows to adapt to connected cartridge type. The earthing wire may be connected to the screw terminal if you

encounter hum problems when using the turntable.
