TORUS AMPLIFIER CONNECTIONS
Always switch off your system before disconnecting or connecting any wires.
To ensure connecting up of the Torus Amplifier is as versatile as possible we have included two
separate inputs. One Neutrik Speakon socket and two pairs of gold plated RCA sockets for
inputs and another pair of gold plated RCA sockets to daisy chain the signal to another source.
This makes the Torus amp extremely easy to connect simultaneously to both Hi-Fi and AV
surround systems.
The high level input is an unbalanced dual channel (stereo) input that uses a professional touch
proof Neutrik Speakon connector. Signals for this input would normally be sourced from the left
and right speaker terminals of the main system amplifier. The advantage of this method is that
the Torus Amplifier receives exactly the same signal as being supplied to the main speakers.
This means that the character and tonal balance of the bass from the main speakers is carried
through to the Torus Amplifier and then to the Torus Infrasonic Generator.
The low level input is via one set of the gold plated RCA to RCA connectors marked as “IN” on
the front panel. Signals for the low level input are unbalanced and would normally be sourced
from the LFE output of an AC3 decoder. Alternatively the low level input can be connected to a
dedicated sub out of a processor (for single outputs connect to the input marked “Mono”), or to
a stereo pre-amp output where available.
1) Amplified summed mono output to drive the Torus Infrasonic Generator.
2) Low Level Stereo / Mono Input RCA connectors for connection to pre-amp output, Dolby
output or other dedicated sub outputs.
3) Low Level Balanced mono input for connection to dedicated sub output or similar mono out.
4) High Level Input for connection to power amplifier outputs with High Level Lead.
5) Voltage selector switch.
6) Main Power Supply Input – IEC Connector.
- Please do not adjust the Voltage Selector as this may cause damage to the amplifier.
7) Low Level Output RCA for linking stereo signal through to other auxiliary equipment or
another Torus Amplifier.
