Placing the unit

< Place the amplier on a level, rm surface, avoiding

direct sunlight and sources of heat or damp.

< Do not place the A49/C49/P49/P349 on top of a

power amplier or other source of heat.

< Do not place the amplier in an enclosed space

such as a bookcase or closed cabinet unless there is

good provision for ventilation. e A49/P49/P349

are designed to run warm during normal operation.

< Do not place any other component or item on top

of the amplier as this may obstruct airow around

the heat-sink, causing the amplier to run hot. (e

unit placed on top of the amplier would become

hot, too.)

< Make sure the remote-control receiver to the right

of the front panel display is unobstructed, otherwise

this will impair the use of the remote-control.

< Do not place your record deck on top of this

unit. Record decks are very sensitive to the noise

generated by mains power supplies which will be

heard as a background ‘hum’ if the record deck is

too close.

< e normal function of the unit may be disturbed

by strong electromagnetic interference. If this

occurs, simply reset the unit with the power button,

or move the unit to another location.

Power

e amplier is supplied with a moulded mains plug

already tted to the lead. Check that the plug supplied

ts your supply – should you require a new mains lead,

please contact your Arcam dealer.

If your mains supply voltage or mains plug is dierent,

please contact your Arcam dealer immediately

Push the IEC plug end of the power cable into the

socket on the back of the amplier, making sure that it

is pushed in rmly. Plug the other end of the cable into

your mains socket and, if necessary, switch the socket

on.

Interconnect cables

We recommend the use of high-quality screened cables

that are designed for the particular application. Other

cables will have dierent impedance characteristics

that will degrade the performance of your system (for

example, do not use cabling intended for video use to

carry audio signals). All cables should be kept as short as

is practically possible.

It is good practice when connecting your equipment to

make sure that the mains power-supply cabling is kept

as far away as possible from your audio cables. Failure

to do so may result in unwanted noise in the audio

signals.

Arcam’s A49 integrated, C49 pre-amplier and P49/

P349 power ampliers provide class leading sound

quality for the best possible reproduction of your music.

Drawing on the many years of amplier design

experience at Arcam, all three products use the best

quality components and engineering practice to

produce a product that will give many years of musical

pleasure and reliable service.

With a class G amplier, toroidal based power supply,

acoustically damped chassis, parallel transistor output

stages and exceptionally low levels of distortion and

noise both the a A49, P49 and P349 are capable of

reproducing music with all its original authority and

detail. Both the A49 and C49 feature dual mono volume

controls and a balanced signal path all the way though

the product. Rest assured you will be hearing the music

just as the artist intended.

e A49, C49, P49 and P349 are designed to produce

a level of performance that will truly bring music to

life.
