Loudspeakers
Loudspeaker connections are made via the gold plated multi-way binding posts at the rear of the amplifier
these are marked R(right) and L(left) for identical connection to your loudspeakers. Both left and right
speakers have a positive (+) and negative (-) connection which are also for identical connection to your
loudspeakers. We recommend that loudspeakers of 4 -16 Ohms impedance should be used with your
amplifier.
If bi-wiring please follow the instructions supplied by the manufacturer of your loudspeaker carefully,
incorrect wiring can damage your amplifier or blow channel fuses.
Input Signals
All input connections are via standard RCA type gold-plated phono sockets. The inputs are clearly marked
left and right for identical connection to your source components. The input sensitivity of your amplifier
makes it suitable for connection to any line-level component. These include CD Player, Tuner, streamers,
SACD/DVD-A player etc.
Output Signals (line Level)
There are two stereo outputs on your amplifier, one fixed and one variable.
1) Tape Output - This is a fixed output and is live at all times supplying an output suitable for the tape-In
of a tape recorder. This allows a tape recording to be made of the input you have selected from the input
selector switch on the front of your amplifier. Other uses include connection to an external headphone
amplifier like the Sugden HA-4.
2) Pre-amp Output – This is a variable output and is supplied from the ANV-50 pre-amplifier circuit. As
the output is the same level as the signal supplied the power amplifier stages of the ANV-50, it is possible to
drive an additional stereo power amplifier in a bi-amplified system. Other uses include connection to an
external slave amplifier for additional loudspeakers.
Volume control
The volume control adjusts the power delivered to the loudspeakers and hence controls listening level. Zero
volume is at fully anti-clockwise position or 'six 'o' clock'. A high quality motorised volume control has been
selected for your amplifier and this can be operated from a Sugden RC5 System control.
Input Selector
The input selector switch is located at the far right of the amplifier when viewed from the front. There are five
inputs, with the selector switch turned clockwise you are at input one. Fully anti clockwise is input five. The
switch requires a minimum amount of effort to rotate and should not be forced. The switch will rotate 45
degrees either side of its central detent at ‘12 o’clock’.
Additional information
FUSES-Replacement should be carried out by a suitable technician
Should a fuse blow this is usually an indication that a fault exists. It is important that the cause of the fault is
determined and rectified before replacing a fuse. If in doubt consult your local dealer or our distributor for
assistance. All fuses used in Sugden equipment have the specification on them. NEVER bypass any fuse in
your amplifier. NEVER replace a fuse with one of a different specification or value.
MAINS FUSE
The mains Fuse is located at the rear of the amplifier and is externally accessible. It is combined in the
mains input socket together with a spare fuse of the correct value.
