DO consider using a high quality power cord and inter-connects, both inputs and
outputs. The L-6500 is a highly sensitive piece of electronic equipment designed for
neutrality and will output what you put into it. Allnic’s Zero Loss Technology cables will
work synergistically with the L-6500.
•
DO try to place the L-6500 away from major sources of RFI and EMI; though well
shielded, the L-6500 will function best away from large power transformers and other
sources of such interference.
B.
POWER CONNECTION
The L-6500 uses a standard three prong male 15 Amp IEC connection for AC input. You need to
use a power cord with a female three prong 15 Amp IEC connector at one end. The IEC
connection is on the left-hand side of the chassis (facing the front), toward the chassis rear (See
Figure 1).
The L-6500 you have purchased is set internally for AC 110/120 volt – 60 HZ, or 220/230 volt –
50 Hz operation. There is no way to change this to another AC setting without return of the unit
to the factory for re-wiring, at the owner’s cost, including transport both directions.
C.
INPUTS
There are five (5) inputs. Line 1, 2 and 3 are balanced connections (XLR type connectors) on the
rear panel (see Figure 2). The remaining two (2) line inputs are RCA type, single-ended
connections. None of the inputs is intended especially for connection to any particular device.
Turn the “Selector” switch located on the right of the front panel adjacent to the right meter to
select the desired input. A selected input is indicated by illumination of its identically numbered
input light on the front panel (see Figure 4).
NO PHONO STAGE - The L-6500 is a line-stage preamplifier and does NOT have a built-in phono
preamplifier section. You will need a phono preamplifier if you want to use a turntable with the
L-6500. You can connect your phono preamplifier to any of the five inputs, provided you have
the appropriate types of connections or adaptors.
The L-6500 has been designed and manufactured to work most synergistically with Allnic Audio
phono preamplifiers, power amplification products, and ZL Technology cables.
D.
OUTPUTS
The L-6500 has three pairs of outputs. The right channel outputs are on the right side of the
chassis and the left channel outputs on the left, facing the rear panel (the reverse if facing the
front panel - see Figure 2). One (1) output pair is balanced (i.e., separate ground), using XLR
connectors; two (2) pairs are single-ended unbalanced, using RCA type connectors.
Near the rear of the top plate of the L-6500 chassis there is a switch to select either the
balanced or single-ended connections. The switch is labelled “RCA OUT GROUND”. (See Figure
5). Please set the output selection switch to the output connection you are want to use: for RCA
OUT – switch toward rear. For GROUND (XLR out) – switch toward front. If you set the switch to
balanced/XLR and then connect your cables to an RCA output (output 2 or 3), or vice-versa,
audible hum will be introduced.
