Installati on The Citation I may be easily installed in your cabinet by following the simple instructions on the mounting template supplied. Alternatively, a furniture-finished hardwood enclosure is available from your dealer as an optional extra. Power Amplifier Connection The Citation I Preamplifier was specifically designed for operation with the Citation II Stereo Power Amplifier. However, it is eminently suited to driving any other stereo power amplifier, or a pair of monophonic power amplifiers. If two monophonic amplifiers are used, it is strongly suggested that they be a matched pair. Two pairs of preamplifier output receptacles are provided. These can be used to drive two entirely separate stereo power amplifiers in different locations. Shielded leads with standard plugs are used for ma ing the connec- tions. These can be obtained from your dealer in the lengths required. Because the Citation I uses low-impedance. anode followers at the outputs, the power amplifier may be placed in any location up to forty feet from the Cita- tion I. When using the Citation II Power Amplifier, connect from the Citation I CHANNEL A OUTPUT receptacle (either one) to the Citation II CHANNEL A INPUT. Then connect a second shielded lead from either of the Citation I CHANNEL B OUTPUT receptacles to the Citation II CHANNEL B INPUT. The remaining pair of Citation I output receptacles, A and B, can be used to drive a second stereo amplifier. If you are using a pair of monophonic amplifiers with the Citation I, connect one of the preamplifier CHANNEL A outputs and one of the CHANNEL B outputs to the inputs of these amplifiers. If "center fill" is required in your stereo system, a monophonic amplifier can be added. Simply connect a shielded lead from the Citation I receptacle marked CENTER CHANNEL AMP OUT to the input of the thirdchannel amplifier. This channel can also be used to provide remote monophonic operation. Follow the instructions provided with your amplifier to connect your speakers. Do not turn on the equipment until you have made these connections. Tape Head Playback Connection Connect a pair of shielded leads from your stereo tape deck to the A and B TAPE HD input receptacles on the INPUT CHANNEL strip at the rear of the Citation I. A monophonic tape deck can be connected to either of these inputs. If your tape player has its own preamplifier, do not use the TAPE HD inputs. The next paragraph describes this type of connection. Tape Recorder Playback Connection Connect the outputs of your stereo tape recorder to the A and B TAPE AMP input receptacles on the IN- PUT CHANNEL strip at the rear of the Citation I. The output of a monophonic tape recorder can be connect- ed to either the A or B TAPE AMP input. Tape Recorder Recording Connection Provision is made on the Citation I to permit the recording of anyprogram material. Connect the left input of your stereo tape recorder to the TAPE OUT receptacle A on the Citation I, and connect the right recorder input to TAPE OUT receptacle B. A monophonic recorder can be connected to either of the TAPE OUT receptacles. These connections should be kept as short as possible to avoid loss of treble response. Tuner Connection Connect a pair of shielded leads from the AM and FM output receptacles of your stereo tuner to the Cita- tion I TUNER Channel A and B receptacles. The FM lead is normally plugged into the Channel A tuner receptacle, the AM lead being connected to the Channel B receptacle. The same procedure applies if you are using separate AM and FM tuners. If you are using a monophonic AM/FM tuner, connect it to the Channel A TUNER receptacle. Multiplex is a form of FM stereo broadcasting where both channels are transmitted by one FM station. In addition to an FM tuner, a multiplex adaptor is necessary. For hookup information consult your adaptor instruction book.

may
be
easily

by
following
the
simple
instructions
on

Power
Amplifier
Connection
The
Citation
I
Preamplifier
was
specifically
designed
for
operation
with
the
Citation
II
Stereo
Power
Amplifier.
However,
it
is
eminently
suited
to
driving
any
other
stereo
power
amplifier,
or
a
pair
of
monophonic
power
amplifiers.
If
two
monophonic
amplifiers
are
used,
it
is
strongly
suggested
that
they
be
a
matched
pair.
Two
pairs
of
preamplifier
output
receptacles
are
provided.
These
can
be
used
to
drive
two
entirely
separate
stereo
power
amplifiers
in
different
locations.
Shielded
leads
with
standard
plugs
are
used
for
ma
ing
the
connec-
tions.
These
can
be
obtained
from
your
dealer
in
the
lengths
required.
Because
the
Citation
I
uses
low
-impedance
.
anode
followers
at
the
outputs,
the
power
amplifier
may
be
placed
in
any
location
up
to
forty
feet
from
the
Cita-
tion
I.
When
using
the
Citation
II
Power
Amplifier,
connect
from
the
Citation
I
CHANNEL
A
OUTPUT
recep-
tacle
(either
one)
to
the
Citation
II
CHANNEL
A
INPUT.
Then
connect
a
second
shielded
lead
from
either
of
the
Citation
I
CHANNEL
B
OUTPUT
receptacles
to
the
Citation
II
CHANNEL
B
INPUT.
The
remaining
pair
of
Citation
I
output
receptacles,
A
and
B,
can
be
used
to
drive
a
second
stereo
amplifier.
If
you
are
using
a
pair
of
monophonic
amplifiers
with
the
Citation
I,
connect
one
of
the
preamplifier
CHANNEL
A
outputs
and
one
of
the
CHANNEL
B
outputs
to
the
inputs
of
these
amplifiers.
If
"center
fi
ll"
is
required
in
your
stereo
system,
a
monophonic
amplifier
can
be
added.
Simply
connect
a
shielded
lead
from
the
Citation
I
receptacle
marked
CENTER
CHANNEL
AMP
OUT
to
the
input
of
the
third
-
channel
amplifier.
This
channel
can
also
be
used
to
provide
remote
monophonic
operation.
Follow
the
instructions
provided
with
your
amplifier
to
connect
your
speakers.
Do
not
turn
on
the
equip-
ment
until
you
have
made
these
connections.
Tape
Head
Playback
Connection
Connect
a
pair
of
shielded
leads
from
your
stereo
tape
deck
to
the
A
and
B
TAPE
HD
input
receptacles
on
the
INPUT
CHANNEL
strip
at
the
rear
of
the
Citation
I.
A
monophonic
tape
deck
can
be
connected
to
either
of
these
inputs.
If
your
tape
player
has
its
own
preamplifier,
do
not
use
the
TAPE
HD
inputs.
The
next
paragraph
describes
this
type
of
connection.
Tape
Recorder
Playback
Connection
Connect
the
outputs
of
your
stereo
tape
recorder
to
the
A
and
B
TAPE
AMP
input
receptacles
on
the
IN-
PUT
CHANNEL
strip
at
the
rear
of
the
Citation
I.
The
output
of
a
monophonic
tape
recorder
can
be
connect-
ed
to
either
the
A
or
B
TAPE
AMP
input.
Tape
Recorder
Recording
Connection
Provision
is
made
on
the
Citation
I
to
permit
the
recording
of
anyprogram
material.
Connect
the
left
input
of
your
stereo
tape
recorder
to
the
TAPE
OUT
receptacle
A
on
the
Citation
I,
and
connect
the
right
recorder
in-
put
to
TAPE
OUT
receptacle
B.
A
monophonic
recorder
can
be
connected
to
either
of
the
TAPE
OUT
recep-
tacles.
These
connections
should
be
kept
as
short
as
possible
to
avoid
loss
of
treble
response.
Tuner
Connection
Connect
a
pair
of
shielded
leads
from
the
AM
and
FM
output
receptacles
of
your
stereo
tuner
to
the
Cita-
tion
I
TUNER
Channel
A
and
B
receptacles.
The
FM
lead
is
normally
plugged
into
the
Channel
A
tuner
re-
ceptacle,
the
AM
lead
being
connected
to
the
Channel
B
receptacle.
The
same
procedure
applies
if
you
are
using
separate
AM
and
FM
tuners.
If
you
are
using
a
monophonic
AM/FM
tuner,
connect
it
to
the
Channel
A
TUNER
receptacle.
Multiplex
is
a
form
of
FM
stereo
broadcasting
where
both
channels
are
transmitted
by
one
FM
station.
In
addition
to
an
FM
tuner,
a
multiplex
adaptor
is
necessary.
For
hookup
information
consult
your
adaptor
instruc-
tion
book.
