The amplifier must be off whenever you make changes to the inputconnections.CASCAdE AUdIO OUTpUTSThe “Cascade Audio Outputs” enable you to connect another amplifier to yourpreamplifier output. The connectors are gold-plated RCA phono jacks. Connectthem to another amplifier’s inputs with a standard audio patch cable. Theoutputs are not buffered; if you wish to daisy-chain more than 5 Niles amplifiersyou will need a Niles AVDA-3 buffered distribution amplifier. A single AVDA-3will allow you to daisy-chain 5 amplifiers from each of its six outputs, allowing30 SI-1230 power amplifiers to be fed from the same master preamplifier. If yourpreamp has a vacuum tube output stage, you must use a Niles AVDA-3 to drivemore than a single SI-1230.AC pOwER pLUGSTEp DESCrIpTIon1. label all of the interconnecting cables for the sourcesthey connect to.use audio patch cables with rca phono plugsattached to the ends.2. connect the sources by inserting the rca plug into theamplifier’s jacks. noTe: if you are using two amplifierchannels in “bridged” mode connect the input cable tothe even numbered amplifier input jack.connect outputs from your sources to inputs on theamplifier. never connect a source or preamplifier’sinput (e.g., record inputs) to the inputs of yourSi-1230.STEp DESCrIpTIon1. Plug the female iec socket of the supplied ac powercord (the supplied power cord is designed for 120V acwall outlets), or use an appropriate iec ac power cordto match the electrical wall outlet you are using (e.g.240V ac), into the iec receptacle on the rear of theamplifier.if you use a grounded power strip, surgesuppressor or extension cord, verify that properground is maintained.CaUTIon! Do not plug the amplifier’s cord into apreamplifier’s convenience outlets.The Si-1230 draws a maximum of approximately890 watts from an ac wall outlet. This is muchmore than the typical accessory outlet on the backof a component will provide. use the Si-1230’sauto turn on circuitry to turn on the Si-1230whenever the preamp is on.
