Plinius 8150 instruction manual. Page 7
UNBALANCED or single-ended or RCA or coaxial leads are the most common of all and
are used in the majority of audio signal systems. The terminal plug and socket are most
commonly called RCA and can be found on the 8150 for use as the standard input
terminals for both Left and Right inputs.
INSTALLATION & OPERATION
MAINS VOLTAGE.
CHECK that the mains voltage printed on the rear of this amplifier is similar to the mains voltage
normally supplied to your area.
If in doubt, please consult your PLINIUS dealer.
PLACEMENT AND VENTILATION.
This 8150 is designed to operate at a moderate temperature.
The ideal location is on a rigid stand or floor mounted away from direct contact with any objects,
materials or deep pile carpets which may interrupt the flow of air around and through the amplifier.
Make sure that no objects are placed on top of the amplifier and that the ventilation holes are not covered
or restricted in any way. Always ensure adequate ventilation.
The PLINIUS 8150 design incorporates a very high level of mechanical decoupling of the input and
output. It can however still be influenced by acoustical feedback in the operating environment. The use
of acoustic cones or a suitably spiked amplifier stand or table may further enhance the performance of this
amplifier. Consult your PLINIUS dealer for further advice if required.
The PLINIUS 8150 Control Amplifier should be left switched on at all times. If the 8150
is switched off between listening sessions you will never hear just how good it really
sounds. In our experience a 48 hour warmup period is required during which the sound
quality will change quite dramatically. This change will continue for at least 72 hours after
which the amplifier will be at its optimum. This warmup period is a nuisance but the
results are well worth the wait.
