High End Integrated Amplifier ASR Emitter I and II version 2009 on Page 4
2.1
Standard connections
In the standard version the ASR Emitter is equipped with 6 high-level inputs with RCA sockets
plus one direct input, one or two tape outputs and one pair of speaker outputs as direct outputs.
The Exclusive models has 5 RCA inputs and 1 Balanced XLR input.
High-level source components are all audio components except turntables.
Most ASR Emitter are equipped with the following identical RCA inputs:
„Ph“ = Phono (
if the unit is equipped with the ASR phonoboard this is only for turntables
),
„CD1“ = Unbalanced CD player,
„CD2“ = balanced CD player,
„Tu“ = Tuner,
„DT“ = digital tape,
„Vi“ = for your home cinema system.
"Direct" = when you have only one signal source
The additional RCA sockets (on the back panel, outer left/right side) are tape outputs –
the ASR Emitter I is equipped with one, the ASR Emitter II with two tape out RCA sockets. These
outputs are named „Out“.
Connect each of your source components to one input. Attention: connect the right outputs of
your source components to the right inputs of the ASR Emitter an do the same for the left channel.
Please make sure that the RCA connectors fits tight.
2.1
The balanced input
Most ASR Emitters are equipped with a balanced input. This input can easily be chosen by
switching the input selector to the „CD2“-position.
You can connect either every high-level source component to the balanced inputs of the ASR
Emitter. A balanced cable (with male-/female XLR plugs) can - due to international Studio
standards (1= Ground, 2= plus, 3 = Minus ) only be connected one way: the male XLR plug is
connected to the source component and the female XLR plug is connected to the ASR Emitter.
The
balanced board
has 2 dip switches. They can be used to switch the
input impedance
.
When all switches are Off, the impedance is 10K, when On 1000 Ohms for Studio use.
Please check both positions for optimal sound results.
Tipp:
if you have to use a cable longer than approximately three meter between a source
component and the ASR Emitter, you should use a balanced connection.
Balanced connections are less susceptible for disturbances.
2.3
Connecting a turntable to the ASR Emitter
Every ASR Emitter, that doesn’t have a balanced input can be equipped with the ASR plug-in
phono board. The
ASR phono board
can be used for Moving Magnet- or medium and high
output Moving Coil cartridges. Please ask for the special instructions for this board.
