PHYSICAL PLACEMENT
It is recommended that you provide at least 6" of free space around the unit for
proper ventilation.
Mount the unit on a hard surface with proper ventilation underneath.
Do not stack the VK-33SE preamplifier on top of other units, nor vice
versa.
CONNECTING THE VK-33SE TO YOUR SYSTEM
Balanced Components
Use balanced XLR interconnects. All input and output connectors are clearly
marked on the back panel.
Note: The VK-33SE XLR connectors are wired as follows:
Pin 1: common/shield
Pin 2: positive
Pin 3: negative
For the VK-33SE, use the Main 1 XLR Output for connection to your balanced
power amplifier. The Output 2 is configured as an RCA connector output.
Single-Ended Components
Single-ended components have RCA connectors. The VK-33SE preamplifier
is designed to work with mix of single-ended and balanced components connected
to its inputs and outputs. If more single ended components need to be
connected to the preamplifer, then the XLR inputs or outputs can be used for
that in conjunction with RCA/XLR adapters. These adapters are available from an
authorized Balanced Audio Technology dealer at a nominal charge.
Two types of adapters are available:
Input Adapters: RCA Female to XLR Male
Output Adapters: RCA Female to XLR Female.
