To connect wires to the Arcam Alpha 9/9P amplifiers:
1. Pre-amplifier to Power Amplifier: - Connect the output of your pre-amplifier to the PWR AMP IN sockets. - Set the internal selector switch to the EXT INPUT position to disconnect the preamp stages.
2. Using as a Pre-amplifier: - Connect the PREAMP OUT sockets to the input sockets of your power amplifier.
3. Bi-Amplification: - Use a power amplifier with the correct gain (e.g., Arcam Alpha 9P or Delta 290P) to bi-amplify suitable loudspeakers.
4. Mono Configuration (Alpha 9P only): - Use the MONO LINK to configure two mono loudspeaker outputs from a single input.
5. Loudspeaker Connections: - Follow the instructions for connecting speakers, ensuring proper polarity and secure connections.
Always ensure proper ventilation and follow safety precautions when handling power connections.

If I put mono link in alpha 9 how do I wire speakers

The Arcam Alpha 9 amplifier has a mono link feature that converts the stereo output to mono. When wiring speakers with this configuration, follow these steps:
1. Power Off – Ensure the amplifier is turned off and unplugged before making any connections.
2. Insert Mono Link – Locate the pre-out and main-in sockets on the rear panel. Insert a mono link (a short RCA cable or U-link) between these sockets to enable mono operation.
3. Speaker Connections – Connect the speakers to the amplifier’s speaker terminals: - Use the left speaker terminals for a single mono speaker. - If using multiple speakers, connect them in parallel or series to match the amplifier’s impedance requirements. - Ensure speaker polarity is correct: red (+) to red (+), black (-) to black (-).
4. Check Impedance – The Arcam Alpha 9 is designed for speakers with 4-8 ohms impedance. If connecting multiple speakers, ensure the total impedance does not drop below 4 ohms.
5. Power On & Test – Turn on the amplifier and play audio to confirm mono output.
This setup ensures that both left and right channels are merged into a single mono signal and correctly routed to the speaker system.
