Plugging in and connecting the ABsolute
Before connecting the ABsolute to a sound source, please be sure that they’re both unplugged from wall
outlets. First of all, connect the source’s outputs to the ABsolute inputs you want to use. Please use only
high-quality cables. When this is done, connect the ABsolute outputs to the speakers. At last, after checking
that the power button is in the OFF position, plug the power cord into the ABsolute inlet and into the wall
outlet.
ATTENTION: when connecting or disconnecting the loudspeaker cables, always turn off the unit to avoid electrical shock.
When connecting or disconnecting the signal cables from the ABsolute inputs, always turn off all the related equipment.
NOTES ON CORRECT CONNECTION OF THE PHASE
The phase pin is in the left position as shown in image below. The supplied power cord has the phase pin
indicated on the plug for the connection to the power network, make sure to find the right position using a
phase detector screwdriver and if you replace the power cord, make sure to respect the right phase
connection.

Powering up the ABsolute
First of all, put the switch on the rear to ON. The standby LED on the front must turn red. Press one of the
two ON/OFF buttons (class A or class AB) or the “STBY” button on the remote control (in this case, Absolute
will turn on in the same status as it was turned off). The ABsolute will begin the start sequence. If after
pushing the button nothing happens, please refer to the troubleshooting section of the present manual.
Notes on balanced input
The balanced input of ABsolute accepts balanced signal according to the standard XLR pinout as reported in
the picture below. To avoid creating ground loop between the power amplifier and the source (which can
cause hum problems), use only "true" balanced cables having the ground pin separated from the shield and
the cable shield properly connected to the cable connector.
Electrical specifications: The differential input impedance is 47 KOhm The maximum signal voltage accepted
by the ABsolute balanced input is 6 V
rms
differential signal.

Notes on RCA inputs
The RCA inputs are all standard stereo inputs.
Electrical specifications: The maximum input voltage is 6 V
rms
. The input impedance is of: 47 KOhm.
Advice on using the ABsolute
It is preferable to turn the unit off with the main switch on the rear panel when unused and to unplug it from
the outlet when unused for long periods and during lightning and electrical storms. Avoid using small metallic
objects around the unit because they could fall inside the unit.
Avoid leaving the unit on if unused.
