5.1 Ibi
Place the Audiolab 9000A on a stable, level surface away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and excessive moisture. Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for ventilation.
5.2 Nsopọ Agbọrọsọ
- Ensure the 9000A is powered off and unplugged from the mains.
- Connect your loudspeakers to the speaker terminals on the rear panel (refer to Figure 4.3). Ensure correct polarity: red (+) to red (+) and black (-) to black (-).
- Tighten the binding posts securely, but do not overtighten.
5.3 Nsopọ Awọn orisun ohun
The 9000A offers a variety of input options:
- Analog Inputs (AUX1, AUX2, AUX3): Use RCA cables to connect analog sources like CD players, tuners, or tape decks.
- Iwontunwonsi XLR Input: For high-quality analog sources with XLR outputs.
- Iṣawọle Phono (MM) Connect your turntable directly to this input. Ensure your turntable has a Moving Magnet (MM) cartridge.
- Digital Inputs (COAX1, COAX2, OPT1, OPT2): Connect digital sources such as CD transports, media streamers, or TVs using coaxial or optical cables.
- PC USB (USB B): Connect your computer for high-resolution audio playback.
- Bluetooth: Attach the supplied antennas to the rear panel for optimal Bluetooth signal reception.
5.4 Asopọ agbara
Once all audio connections are made, connect the supplied power cord to the IEC inlet on the rear panel and then to a suitable mains power outlet.

6.4 Awọn ọna ṣiṣe
The 9000A offers three distinct operating modes, selectable via the menu:
- Integrated Mode: This is the default mode, where the pre-amplifier ati agbara ampalafa stages are combined. Use this for connecting digital and analog sources directly to the 9000A and driving a pair of speakers.
- Pre-Power Mode: This mode disconnects the pre-amplifier ati agbara ampalafa stages. The 9000A can then be used solely as a power amplifier (e.g., connected to an AV processor) or to insert external signal processing between the pre-out and power-in connections.
- Pre Only Mode: In this mode, the 9000A functions solely as a pre-amplifier, outputting the processed signal via its pre-amplifier outputs to an external power amplifier.
6.5 Digital Ajọ
For digital inputs, the 9000A provides user-selectable digital filters to optimize the response to suit the source file and partnering equipment. Access these options through the unit's menu system.
