All PrimaLuna products come with PrimaLuna SilverLabel tubes which are pre-selected by us
following our simple 60 out of 100 rule (PTS™ - Premium Tube Selection) and as such, are al-
ready "special" when compared to other standard tubes on the market. Additionally, for certain
models we have our GoldLabel tubes, which are available from us if you wish to upgrade.

Inputs & Controls
PrimaLuna's front panels are made from machined aluminum, finished to match the black/blue metallic
chassis. No controls are available from the front. The power switch is located on the left side of the
amp, just behind the front plate, the EL34/KT88 switch on the right side of the amp, just behind the
front plate.

Looking at the rear panel, you will note the input section and the set of speaker terminals. The input
section can be used as mono input or stereo input. The speaker terminals also can be used as mono
or stereo output(s). Make sure that the mono/stereo switch is in the correct position. Do NOT use this
switch while the amplifier is switched on. If the switch is in mono position, use the input and output
connections marked "mono". If the switch is in stereo position, use the input and output connections
24 dB / 27 dB marked "stereo".
480 Watts In case of use as a mono amplifier, attach the positive (+) from your loudspeaker to the 2, 4 or 8 ohm
terminal that most closely matches the average impedance of your loudspeakers according to their
66.3lbs / 29.5 kg manufacturer's specifications. In case of use as a stereo amplifier, attach the positive (+) from your
loudspeakers to the 4, 8 or 16 ohm terminal that most closely matches the average impedance of your
72.7 lbs / 33 kg loudspeakers according to their manufacturer's specifications.
The negative (-) cable from your loudspeaker attaches to the 0 Ohm terminal of the amplifier.
Tip: It's important to experiment with different positive terminals. If your speaker is listed as
8 Ohm, also try 4 Ohm. Speaker impedance rises and lowers. It's never constant. The speaker taps
are there to help you to get the best sound. Trust your ears.
Some preamplifiers invert the audio signal. Check with the manufacturer. If your preamp does,
reverse the positive and negative speaker wire at either the amplifier end or speaker end. PrimaLuna
preamplifiers are non-inverting.
