DUAL CHANNEL POWER AMPLIFIER  
OWNERS MANUAL  
 
The mains power supply cord should be  
routed so that it is not likely to be walked  
on or pinched by items placed on or  
against it. Pay particular attention to the  
cord at power points, convenience  
receptacles, and the point where it exits  
from the 200P.  
2. Follow Instructions  
13. Servicing  
The user should not attempt to service  
All installation, operation and other  
instructions should be followed.

9. Cleaning  
Precautions should be taken so that the  
grounding or polarisation of the 200P are  
correct, and are maintained through-out  
the entire system.  
When cleaning ‘P’ series product use  
luke warm water with a few drops of a  
mild non caustic detergent .  
4. Water and Moisture  
The 200P should not be used near water,  
for example near a bathtub, washbowl,  
kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet  
basement, near a swimming pool, etc.  
DO NOT USE SOLVENTS.

surfaces.  
IMPORTANT INFORMATION  
c. The 200P has been exposed to  
rain and/or excessive moisture  
d. The 200P does not appear to  
operate normally, or exhibits a  
marked change in performance  
e. The 200P has been dropped, or  
the chassis damaged.  
7. Power Sources  
The 200P should be connected to a  
mains power supply only of the type  
described in the operating instructions, or  
as marked on the rear of the 200P.  
Always make sure the volume control of your  
preamplifier or source unit is set to zero and  
the mains/line supply disconnected from your  
200P prior to performing any switching  
functions or connection alterations of any  
type to your system. This caution also applies

4. INPUT CONFIGURATION SWITCH  
This toggle switch allows selection of  
either the balanced or unbalanced inputs.  
Input leads should be connected to one  
type of input only i.e. do not connect to  
both the unbalanced and balanced inputs  
at one time.

If your unit comes with a 3-core cable but  
without a plug, make certain LIVE and  
NEUTRAL leads are connected correctly to  
your plug terminals. Check that the terminals  
are screwed down firmly and no loose  
strands of wire are present.

-
The wire which is coloured BLUE must  
be connected to the terminal which is  
marked with the letter N, or colour coded

NOTE : You will also find on the rear panel  
written information and relevant precautions.  
Read and observe the information to ensure  
your safety and trouble free operation from  
your Perreaux 200P.  
Position all the separate components of your  
system close enough to your 200P to avoid  
having to stretch or extend any of the  
interconnect cables. Always make left and  
right channel connections while viewing the  
equipment you are connecting from the front.  
This will help ensure channel continuity  
throughout your system. Avoid errors by  
7. LOUDSPEAKER OUTPUT TERMINALS  
The 200P is equipped with two double  
sets of output terminals per channel to  
enable easy hook-up for bi-wiring of  
loudspeakers or additional loudspeakers.

all the information in the various areas of this  
manual to assist installation.  
A recommended sequence of connection is  
as follows :  
When connecting the 200P to auxiliary

Good  
quality, preferably gold plated spade or  
banana type terminals are recommended  
together with a high quality loudspeaker  
cable.

-
Connect your loudspeakers to the output  
terminals (7) of the 200P. Be careful to  
maintain channel integrity, i.e. left to left,  
right to right, and phase integrity, positive  
(+) to positive (+), and negative (-) to  
negative (-).  
With the power switch (5) turned off,  
connect the output from your preamplifier  
to the 200P input sockets  
The loudspeaker leads, for both left and  
right channels should be cut to equal  
lengths and be as short as possible. This  
is to maintain uniform resistance at the  
lowest possible level. If the installation  
demands that the 200P be closer to one  
loudspeaker than the other, avoid neatly  
coiling any excess loudspeaker cable as  
this can create inductance and may  
affect high frequency signals. Always  
ensure connections are clean, firm and  
tight.

loudspeaker leads are well away from the  
interconnect cables, and both are well  
separated from mains/line power cables.

configuration switch (4) is set for the type  
of interconnect cable being used i.e.

Try to keep all inter-linking cables and  
loudspeaker leads as far apart as  
possible and well away from all  
mains/line cables.

voltage must be within 5% +/- of the  
stated voltage. (See relevant section

connect the input to the output earth.  
It is important that the 200P be operated from  
the correct mains/line voltage. The unit is  
factory set for the voltage applicable to the  
original country of destination. The correct  
operating voltage is indicated by the MAINS  
VOLTAGE / FUSE RATING LABEL (9) on  
the rear panel .The 200P will operate  
satisfactorily within a voltage variation of up  
to +/- 5% either side of that voltage at which  
the unit has been set.
