Connections

Connecting speakers to the Mini-X A-100

The A-100 has no special connection requirements; ve-way binding posts are provided for

connecting one stereo set of speakers.

• Always use high quality speaker wire of reasonable gauge (18 gauge or heavier)

• If you must use lighter wire, try to keep the length as short as possible

• Be careful to wire both speakers “in phase” (the plus/red terminal on each speaker to

the plus/red terminal on your amp)

• Use wires of equal length and gauge for both speakers

• If you use stranded cables, use care to avoid short circuits (results from stray strands

touching)

• Emotiva offers very high quality pre-made speaker cables at reasonable prices

(you will nd them in the Interconnects section on our website at www.emotiva.com)

Connecting an input source to the Mini-X A-100

The A-100 expects a line level analog input source via unbalanced (RCA) type connectors.

Since the A-100 has a front panel Volume control, your source may be either xed or

variable level. (DO NOT connect a digital signal to the input of the A-100).

Connecting the analog (loop) Output of the Mini-X A-100 to another device

The Output of the A-100 provides another copy of the input signal for chaining to another

device. The output signal is the same as the input, is buffered (so it won’t load down the

input device), and is only present when the A-100 is On.

Connecting the Trigger Input and Trigger Output of the Mini-X A-100

The Trigger Input accepts a 12 VDC (nominal) trigger signal from another device via a

standard 1/8” mono plug. When the signal is active (and the A-100 is congured to do so),

the A-100 will switch On.

The Trigger Output sends out a 12 VDC trigger signal when the A-100 is on via a standard

1/8” mono-plug.
