CONNECTING YOUR PREAMPLIFIER

Setting up your preamplifier is rather easy.

1. Please refer to page 7 diagram 2 for an illustration of the back of the preamplifier.

2. There are three sets of main outputs, two identical sets of UNBALANCED RCA

and the other BALANCED XLR. The BALANCED XLR's can be used with unbalanced

inputs and either "leg" can be shorted to ground with no ill effects. This output is 6 dB

louder than the unbalanced outputs because both "legs" contribute to the measured

output. The pin out for the XLR is as follows:

PIN1 - ground

PIN2 - POSITIVE going phase (+)

PIN3 - NEGATIVE going phase (-).

Connect either (or both for bi-amping) the XLR or RCA output to the input of your ampli-

fier as required.

3. UNBALANCED inputs are found on RCA jack inputs and can be connected to any line

level sources such as CD players, tuners or tape decks.

4. All RCA jacks are clearly labelled as to a typical function. Each input is for all intents

other than the labels functionally and electronically the same.

5. The record output is not buffered and it is recommended that one have the tape feed

plugged into the REC OUT only when actually recording. Care should be used when

using a 3-head tape/monitor switch as this record out is not a tape loop.

6. On the left end of the back panel is a standard IEC mains connector. This should be

connected to a standard mains outlet with the supplied cable. This unit has been hard-

wired for the mains voltage in your country

7. Power up the preamplifier FIRST and allow it to settle for a minimum of 30 seconds

before powering up your amplifiers. Turn off your preamplifier and source components

LAST when powering down a system. This prevents amplification of turn-on transients

and other noises when powering up or turning a system off and ultimately protects the

speakers.
