KW-ZOOG STEREO AMPLIFIER

The TRIO KW-ZOOG is a high power stereo
amplifier which provides rich, low and high
frequency response for finest audio reproduction.
Only a pair of loudspeakers are required to re-
produce faithfully the thrilling brilliance of

stereophonic sound.

The TRIO KW-ZOOG also functions as a com-
plete preamplifier-control center with RIAA
compensated dual phono inputs for two magnetic

cartridge pickups, as well as dual inputs for stereo
tape recorder or two other stereo program

sources. A convenient stereo headphone jack on

the front panel makes it easy to enjoy fine music
in complete privacy.

The TRIO KW-200G has been designed under
TRIOs rigid engineering requirements to assure
lasting quality and pleasure.

CONNECTIONS TO ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT

CONNECTING LOUDSPEAKERS

The KW-ZOOG has output terminals for connec-
tion to speaker systems of 8 or 16 ohm im-
pedance. Wherever possible, it is recommended
that identical speakers be used. For indoor
installations, ordinary plastic-covered lamp cord
may be used to connect the speakers to the
receiver. These cords may be extended as long
as 100 feet without any significant power loss.

Connect the left-hand speaker leads to the
terminals designated LEFT SPEAKER and the
right speaker leads to RIGHT SPEAKER.

Set IMP SELECT switch to either 8 ohm or
16 ohm, whichever is closest to the impedance

of the speakers used.

Warning. Never Operate the receiver without
first connecting a speaker to each channel output.

CONNECTING STEREO HEADPHONES

Plug the headphone into the PHONE jack.
Then simply push the SPEAKERS switch to OFF
position for reproduction through the headphones.

Caution: Never leave the SPEAKER switch
in OFF position with the headphones discon-
nected, nor in the ON position with the speakers
disconnected. Otherwise damage may result in
the output tube circuitry.

CONNECTING STEREO RECORD PLAYER

The two shielded cables from your stereo
record player should be terminated with RCA
type phono plugs. To avoid loss in the high
frequency range, these cables should not exceed

ten feet in length.

Low Level Phono Inputs: Inputs from a
magnetic or variable reluctance (constant velocity
type) cartridge should be connected to the jacks
designated MAG.

Two-channel stereo inputs are provided for
magnetic cartridge pickups. Such record players
connected to the MAG-A and MAG-B jacks are
controlled by the front panel MAG Switch.
