PMC cor Manuel utilisateur
the pure analogue amplier
USER GUIDE
We believe that music is what really matters. It’s what moves
us and gives us our passion for what we do — bringing
emotion and engineering together. In our designs, science
serves sound in our quest to present music as naturally as
possible, exactly as its creators intended.
For over 25 years, the Emmy-winning design philosophy
behind PMC’s loudspeakers has been to eradicate
everything that isn’t music, including unnatural resonance,
distortion and noise — an approach requiring years of
obsessive attention to detail at all stages of product design.
Our success is plain; PMC loudspeakers are used by the
world’s leading composers and in the nest studios and
audiophile listening environments. Our involvement at all
stages of musical creation means that we know what it is to
capture all the emotion in a performance.
We’ve now used this knowledge to bring you the cor
integrated amplier — for analogue purists.
WE ARE DRIVEN
Peter Thomas, Owner &
Oliver Thomas, Head of Design
Congratulations on your purchase of this pure analogue
Class A/B PMC creation, entirely designed and built in the
UK. The cor integrated stereo amplier has the power to
drive virtually any passive loudspeaker to impressive output
levels — 95W into 8Ω, or 140W into 4Ω — but with renement,
transparency and neutrality. Every single component used
in the cor is selected by ear, ensuring a supreme-quality
analogue product, from the headphone amplier to the
remotely controllable tone and balance controls.
INTRODUCING THE COR INTEGRATED
Before you plug in
The cor integrated amplier is shipped in a heavy-duty
protective carton. Please retain the carton to ensure that
the amplier can be transported safely if the need arises in
the future. If you dispose of the packaging, please do so in
an environmentally responsible and safe way.
What’s in the Box?
1 x cor integrated amplier
1 x mains cord
1 x user guide
1 x aluminium extruded remote control
3 x AAA Batteries
1 x 1.5mm Allen key (for battery removal)
Setting up
Place the amplier on a hard, level, stable surface, avoiding
moisture and sources of heat, including direct sunlight and
other electronics.
Position the amplier in free space; enclosing it may
obstruct airow and cooling. If you are in doubt, leave at
least 75mm of clear space around the top and sides to
ensure airow is not impeded.

Avoid placing a record player on top of this amplier.
Cartridges and record players can be adversely affected
by close proximity to high power devices like the cor
integrated.
Make sure the remote-control receiver has a clear line of
sight from the listening position.
Power
Push the power cable rmly into the power inlet socket
on the back of the amplier, ensuring the connection is
properly made.
Plug the cable’s mains plug into your mains outlet/socket.
If there is a switch on the mains socket, turn it to the on
position.
NB: The PMC logo on the front of the unit is the touch
sensitive on/off button.
If the mains cord and your local mains supply do not match,
please contact the PMC retailer or distributor in your region
for advice.
Interconnect cables
PMC recommends the use of robust, high-quality screened
cables in all cases, suitably terminated.
If your source equipment features an XLR balanced
connection, you may nd that the quality of your audio
is improved by using XLR cables rather than single-ended
phono connections, due to the increased noise rejection
capabilities of XLRs — especially if the cable is longer than
2 metres.
Avoid bunching signal and mains cables together — this
may add unwanted noise to your audio.
Avoid using coiled or excessively long cables of any type.

WARRANTY & SERVICE
Do not use tools to tighten the binding posts.
To avoid potential damage, ensure that the amplier
is turned off before connecting or disconnecting your
loudspeakers.
It is of vital importance to observe the polarity markings and
maintain positive-to-positive and negative-to-negative
connections. The terminals are colour-coded to aid in their
identication: positive terminals are red, negative terminals
are black.
Inputs
The rear panel of the cor integrated features four single-
ended unbalanced RCA inputs, plus a balanced XLR input.
There is also a direct input which directly feeds the power
amp, bypassing the preamp.
NB: The preamp is still fully functional in direct mode.
Outputs
The loudspeaker outputs are provided on two pairs of
4mm binding posts. If you wish to use the cor integrated
as a pre amplier, there is a preamp output on twin RCA
connectors.
The binding posts can accommodate bare wire, but we
recommend the use of either spade lugs or 4mm ‘banana’
plugs in order to maintain an electrical connection of the
highest integrity and avoid the possibility of short circuits.
