INSTALLATION

®

Check

that

your

mains

supply

voltage

agrees

with

the

voltage

setting

indicated

on

the

rear

panel

of

the

unit.

■

If

your

mains

supply

voltage

is

different,

consult

your

Arcam

dealer.

MAINS

SAFETY

■

This

product

is

normally

supplied

with

a

moulded

mains

plug

already

fitted

to

the

lead.

If

for

any

reason

the

plug

needs

to

be

removed,

it

must

be

disposed

of

immediately

and

securely,

as

it

is

a

potential

shock

hazard

when

inserted

into

a

mains

socket.

■

If

the

plug

is

removed

then

the

remaining

lead

must

be

rewired

as

follows:

■

The

blue

wire

must

be

connected

to

the

terminal

which

is

coloured

blue

or

marked

with

the

letter

N.

■

The

brown

wire

must

be

connected

to

the

terminal

which

is

coloured

brown

or

marked

with

the

letter

L.

■

The

green

and

yellow

wire

must

be

connected

to

the

terminal

which

is

coloured

green

and

yellow,

or

marked

with

the

letter

E

or

the

safety

earth

symbol.

■

When

replacing

the

fuse

in

the

supplied

moulded

mains

plug,

the

integral

fuse

holder/cover

must

always

be

refitted.

■

Warning:

This

apparatus

must

be

SAFETY

STANDARD

■

This

product

has

been

designed

to

meet

the

IEC

65

international

electrical

safety

standard.

MAINS

SUPPLY

CONNECTIONS

<2>

Insert

the

IEC

line

socket

of

the

mains

lead

fully

into

the

power

inlet

on

the

rear

panel.

Connect

the

other

end

to

your

mains

supply.

CAUTION:

Your

Delta

290

and

D290P

generate

heat

when

in

use,

particularly

at

higher

volumes.

It

is

therefore

most

important

never

to

obstruct

the

ventilation

slots

on

the

top

and

bottom

of

the

unit

as

this

will

cause

overheating.

If

the

temperature

of

the

internal

heatsinks

rises

above

a

safe

level,

then

a

thermal

cut

out

within

the

amplifier

will

operate.

The

POWER

LED

on

the

front

panel

will

turn

amber

and

the

output

protection

relays

will

temporarily

remove

the

feed

to

the

loudspeakers.

The

system

will

reset

itself

as

the

heatsinks

cool

down.

Please

note

that

under

certain

extreme

conditions

it

is

possible

for

the

Delta

290

or

D290P's

thermal

cut

out

to

operate

when

playing

music

at

very

high

levels.

TAPE

RECORDING

■

Both

sets

of

tape

sockets

(TAPE

1

and

TAPE

2)

are

identical

in

sensitivity

and

suitable

for

use

with

almost

any

type

of

recorder

(cassette,

hi-fi

VCR,

reel

to

reel,

DAT,

etc.).

■

RECORDING

(TAPE

1):

Any

input

signal

available

on

the

Delta

290

may

be

routed

to

the

TAPE

to

select

the

appropriate

input.

Set

your

tape

recorder

into

its

recording

mode

and

the

selected

input

will

be

recorded.

Selecting

the

same

input

to

listen

to

will

not

affect

the

signal

sent

out

to

the

recorder

and

will

now

enable

you

to

listen

to

the

input

being

recorded.

You

may

listen

to

another

input

whilst

recording

on

TAPE

1

by

use

of

the

LISTEN

selector.

If

your

tape

recorder

is

a

3

head

design,

this

will

allow

A-B

monitoring

of

the

actual

recording

while

it

is

taking

place.

Switching

the

listen

switch

between

the

original

source

and

TAPE

during

recording

will

then

allow

you

to

FRONT

PANEL

The

Delta

290P

can

drive

two

pairs

of

loudspeakers,

simultaneously

if

required,

providing

both

pairs

are

rated

between

8

and

16

ohms.

Either

pair

can

be

selected

using

the

switches

labelled

SP1

and

SP2

on

the

front

panel.

To

avoid

overheating,

the

combined

load

impedance

as

seen

by

the

amplifier

should

not

fall

below

4

ohms

per

channel.

Utilising

one

Delta

290P

in

this

manner

will

allow

bi-amplifying

of

bi-

wireable

loudspeakers.

This

is

particularly

beneficial

for

a

separate

pre-amplifier,

ADDING

A

DELTA

290P

TO

AN

EXISTING

DELTA

290

If

you

are

using

a

Delta

290,

a

Delta

290P

can

be

added

to

bi-amplify

a

pair

of

bi-wireable

loudspeakers.

This

will

reap

substantial

improvements

in

sound

quality

if

the

following

precautions

are

observed.

■

Always

switch

on

the

Delta

290

and

allow

it

to

stabilise

(indicator

light

turns

green)

before

switching

on

the

Delta

290P.

■

The

Delta

290

and

Delta

290P

power

amplifier

are

placed

on

separate

shelves.

Stacking

the

units

on

top

of

each

other

will

reduce

the

sound

quality

slightly.

It

will

also

reduce

ventilation

and

consequently

the

power

handling

capability.

■

The

existing

Delta

290

should

be

used

to

drive

the

loudspeakers'

HF

(high

frequency)

units.

The

new

Delta

290P

is

utilised

for

the

LF

(bass)

drivers,

as

shown

in

the

wiring

diagram

below.

■

At

the

end

of

a

listening

session

the

Delta

290P

should

always

be

turned

off

first.

■

High

quality

interconnect

cables

should

be

used

between

the

Delta

290

and

Delta

290P.

■

The

use

of

high

quality

interconnect

and

speaker

cables

in

your

system

is

essential

to

obtain

good

sound

quality.

Cables

from

the

AudioQuest

range

are

ideal

partners

for

Arcam

products.

Contact

your

dealer

for

further

details.

■

WARNING

-

Ensure

that

the

links

connecting

the

red

terminals

and

the

black

terminals

on

the

speakers

are

removed

before

switching

on

the

amplifiers.

Failure

to

do

this

could

cause

damage

to

one

or

both

amplifiers

and

this

is

not

covered

the

warranty.
