INSTALLATION CONSIdeRATIONS INSTALLATION CONSIdeRATIONS Placement place the SI-2125 on a flat level surface like a table or shelf. It should be placed upright so that its weight rests on the four attached feet. placing the weight of the amplifier on the rear or front panel for even an instant will result in damage to the amplifier’s connectors and controls. t he SI-2125, like any hi-fi component, will last much longer if it is given adequate ventilation for proper cooling.

INSTALLATION CONSIdeRATIONS Turn-On Modes the SI-2125 draws more current than a preamplifier’s switched Ac outlet can safely supply. Also, your preamplifier may “thump” at dangerous volumes if the amplifier is already on when the preamp turns on. It is usually best to turn the amplifier on only when it is needed. the turn-on Mode selector switch gives you three options for turning the SI-2125 on and off. Constant - the auto turn-on circuitry is off. the front panel master power switch o

INSTALLATION CONSIdeRATIONS Bridged Mode the SI-2125’s bridged mode switch allows you to create a more powerful amplifier by combining both channels into one (8 ohm minumum). In the bridged mode, connect the speakers to the left red positive terminal and the right red positive terminal. In the bridged mode the right channel’s red terminal becomes positive and the left channel’s red terminal becomes negative. dO NOT uSE tHE blAcK nEGAtIVE (-) tErMInAlS. tHE SIGnAl IS At tHE rEd poSItIVE (+)
