Anedio A1 Power Amplifier 5
Setting Up
Placement of the Amplifier
Place the amplifier between the two loudspeakers, instead of setting
it off to one side. This keeps the lengths of interconnects and
speaker cables short for optimal sonic performance.
Remember that the ideal cable is no cable. The signal can never be
improved by going through a longer cable. As you shorten the
cable length, the signal fidelity approaches that of the ideal cable.
The best practice, therefore, is to keep the cables as short as possible
by placing the amplifier between the loudspeakers.
Make sure that there is enough space around the amplifier for
ventilation, and do not block the ventilation slots on the top of the
amplifier. We recommend at least 3 inches of space on the top.
Connecting Interconnects and Cables
Before connecting, turn off the power to all the components in
your system.
Input: Connect the left and right channels to the line-level source
using a pair of RCA interconnects.
Extravagant interconnects with exotic materials are unnecessary.
Two characteristics, however, are important: (a) low shield (outer
conductor) resistance; (b) robust mechanical design for reliable
electrical contact.
Output: Connect loudspeaker cables to multi-way binding posts
that can accept banana plugs or stripped wires.
Again, extravagant cables with exotic materials are unnecessary. As
long as the length is kept short by placing the amplifier between the
loudspeakers, a 14 AWG cable or thicker will be sufficiently
transparent. The shorter the cable, the more transparent your
system will be.
For those concerned with EMI (Electromagnetic Interference), star-
quad cables will significantly improve immunity to external
interferences.
Polarity of loudspeaker connection is critical to the quality of
imaging. Check the positive and negative terminals of the amplifier
