INTRODUCTION

This amplifier has beendesignedto provide the best

possiblequality of reproduction but it must be borne

in mind that the standardof performance

of the com-

plete equipmentwill be limited by that of the poorest

link in thechain. Thus,thegramophone

motor,pickup,

loudspeaker,etc.,shouldallreceive

careful

consideration

if full advantage

is to betakenof the capabilitiesof the

amplifier.

A complete

installationis shownin Fig. I and the

samobasicarrangement

will apply in wholeor in part,

whateverassociated

equipmentis usedwith the Quad

33. Installation is quite straightforward and should

present

no difficulty to the intelligent enthusiast

pro-

vided the following notesare observed.

Pleasenote

thatthree

printed

circuitboards

fromthe

Quad

33are

packed

separatelyfor safe

transit. These

must be insertedduring installation. See

Fig. 3 and

alsoinstructions

containedin the packing.

INSTALLATION

Normally equipment of this type may be either

mounted in a wide varietryof housings or usedfree-

standing, and if you are designingyour own layout it

might beadvisableto assemble

all theparts in a mock-

up form before deciding on the final arrangement,

just

to make sure there are no unforeseendifficulties of

operationor inter-unit wiring, etc.

Adequate ventilation must be provided for units

producingheat,including transistorised

lx]wer amplifiers

and if the latter are to be mounted closer than about

12inchesfrom either control unit or tuner it might be

nec€ssary

to experiment with orientation and position

to ensurethat no hum is induced

in thelatter units.

which casea spaceof about two inches

Hum canalsooccurif a low output magnetic

is too closeto a mainstransformer

or if its leads

run

closeto themainswiring.(See

Fig. 2).

All metal

parts

must

beearthedbut,because

multiple

earth connections

causehum, they shouldbe earthed,

directly or indirectly,by oneconnection

only, and the

wholeinstallationearthedat onepoint suchas the E

terminalon the rear of the control unit, OR the third

pin of thecontrolunit mainssocket,but not both.

(Note: All the Quad units are already bonded

together

by their own inter-connecting

cables).

Always

follow the

manufacturers'

instructions

supplied

with pickup, motor, taperecorder,

etc.,and refer any

query which may arise to your dealeror in caseof

difficultyto themanufacturer

concerned.

CONNECTIONS

Din styls plugs showing method of assembly. See individual illustrations

for Din connections.

ControlUnit to PowerAmplifier

Two leadsare supplied

with the control unit. That

with a 4-pin connectorat eachend is reversibleand

connectsthe control unit output to thepoweramplifier

input. The other connects

the switched

mains supply

from the control unit to the power amplifier and the

2-pin plug at the control unit end of this lead is

reversible.

(See

Fig. l0). Longer leadsare permissible

whererequiredfor special

installations

(see

Specification

onpage

2l).

Amplifier

to Loudspeakers

Ordinary lighting flex or similar cablemay be used

for connecting

the loudspeakers

to thepoweramplifier

unless

averylongrunisinvolved

in which

case

aheavier

calibrecableshould

beused.As a roughguidetheDC

resistance

of the cableshouldnot exceed

about5,%

thenominalimpedance

of theloudspeaker.

Eachloud-

speaker

shouldbe connectedto its appropriate

llower

amplifieroutput sothat thetwo pairsof wires

arecon-

nectedin the sameway, to ensurethat the speakers

operatein phase.

For example,

if thetop outputsocket

on one channelis connected

to the left-handterminal

of its speaker,the top output socket on the other

channel should also be connectedto the left-hand

terminal of its speaker.This is quite straighfforward

but should there be any doubt the phasing can be

checked

later experimentally. (See

Page l5). Where

one loudspeaker

only is usedfor mono, phase

is not

important and in this case

eitheroutlet may be used

andthesocketsof theotherchannelleft vacant.

In cases

whereloudspeakers,

suchastheelectrostatic

loudspeaker, also require an eneryising supply, the

instructions

provided with the loudspeaker

should be

followed. Eachloudspeaker

should

becapable

of hand-

ling thefull output of the poweramplifier.

Notez Quad electrostaticloudspeakers

needslight modification

before

beingused

with the Quad 303amplifier.

Pickup

(Disc) Input

The pickup input is via a 5-pin plug and the same

connections

areusedfor all types

of pickup. The neces-

sary changein input circuitry to suit differenttypesof

pickup is achieved

by the Disc Adaptor Board. This

board providesmatching for pickups of low output

magnetic

types

(Ml), high output magnetic

types

(M2),

ceramic

types

(Cl), anda spare

position

(Sl), according

to theedge

inserted

into the holder. (See

Specification

on Page

20).

The M2 positionshould normally be usedfor most

magnetic

pickupsbut for those

with very low outputs

Ml should

beusedinstead.

The fourth position is to enable the amateur or

professional

engineer

to provideany other circuit con-

flguration

hemayrequire

and

it also

provides,

of course,

facility for accommodating

any new type of pickup

which may be introduced,

requiring a differentinput

from existing

types.

andwithout afiectingnormal listening;

(2) to accepta signal

of any likely level from the re-

corder for replay and subject this to all the

appropriatecontrolfacilities,and
