INSTALLATION
WARNING:
•
Be sure to install it in a safe place from which it cannot fall or tip over.
•
Do not connect loudspeaker wires or other high voltage sources to the inputs.
•
Do not short-circuit the outputs.
•
Do not allow the chassis to touch any metal parts, such as the frame of an equipment rack. This might
create a parallel ground path that could degrade the sound of your system.
Placement
The unpacked devices can be placed one by one on the shelves of a stable rack eider side by side, or can be
laid directly over each other: Line Block ON Power Block.
Install the Preamplifier chassis as close as possible to associated audio components to keep interconnecting
cables as short as possible.
Adjusting feet
The Line & Power Blocks are equipped with adjustable feet. After placing the units to the desired place, it is
possible to precisely adjust the horizontal position by rotating the front feet. This is especially important at
Power Block, because there is hanging transformer and should not have nothing to touch. A supportive bubble
level is enclosed.
Connecting the DC Supply and Control cables
DC Volt. Connectors: These connectors provide DC power from the Power Block chassis to the Line Block
chassis. Use the two supplied Multi-pin “DC VOLT. INPUT/OUTPUT” cables to connect Left / Right DC Volt.
Output to the Left / Right DC. Volt Input.
Using the supplied Multi-pin “SUPPLY / CONTROL” cable, connect the Power Block’s SUPPLY / CONTROL
connector to the Line Block’s SUPPLY / CONTROL connector.
The upper position of the connectors is indicated by the triangle (
) for easier orientation.
Connecting the Line Input / Output Cables
Connect the left channel output of a source to the desired left channel input number of the Line Block unit and
do the same for right channel.
You can use single ended RCA or balanced XLR cable for the connection.
Connect the left channel output of the Line Block unit to the left channel input of the power amplifier or to the
left monoblock. Do the same for right channel.
You can use single ended RCA or balanced XLR cable for the connections.
For the best sound performance, we recommend to use a balanced XLR cables, coming from the balanced
outputs on the source device to your Line Block and for connection to the Power Amplifier as well.
Note: To release the XLR connectors press on the release button next to the XLR socket, and pull the XLR plug
out at the same time. Do not pull on the cable, only on the plug.
Connecting Turntable (Phono Input)
Connect the twin RCA cable from your turntable to the Phono input, white for left channel, red for right.
Turntables normally includes a single wire earth lead. Use the Chassis Ground connector to connect this lead.
Unscrew the terminal to expose the hole, which will accept the lead. After insertion, tighten the terminal to
secure the lead.
Select your phono cartridge system (MC/MM) and other appropriate options in the Phono settings menu.
