equipment. e labels above the inputs give suggested 
uses, but all 5 inputs have the same characteristics (all

connected to any input. (Note, however, that the name 
of the input shown on the front-panel display cannot 
be changed.)
See page 7 for more information.
Pre-/power-amplier connections
ese sockets are only used if you are using the A38 
as a pre-amp, for example, when using the A38 in 
conjunction with a P38 in a bi-amplied system. 
See page 9 for more information.

Please read the ‘Placing the unit’, ‘Power’ and 
‘Interconnect cables’ sections on page 5 before
