CONTROLS

 

 

 

 

6.   TAPE/MONITOR

 

In the UP position this bat handle switch will activate the input jack on the rear panel 
labeled tape-in. This may be used for a tape recorder or for any other line level input.. 

 

7.   ON/HEADPHONES

 

In the UP position will engage the headphone amplifier in the SLP 05. You should 
turn off your power amplifier when listening to the headphone section. Headphones 
in the 30 to 300 ohm impedance range will work well with the transformer coupled 
headphone section. 

 

8.   PREAMP/CINEMA

 

This toggle switch will provide a complete pass through of the Cinema inputs on the rear 
panel to the power amplifier or amplifiers hooked to the SLP 05. The down position 
creates this pass through.  In the up position, the SLP 05 signals are active to the 
matching power amplifiers. (Please note: with the power turned off, the default will be 
Cinema by-pass). 

 

9.   LISTENING LEVEL

 

The large knob with the blue LED will control the input level to the preamplifier input 
section. This controls the output level of the SLP 05 to the basic amplifier or amplifiers 
attached to the SLP 05. This control is a motorized analog potentiometer. Depending on 
the input sensitivity of the mating power amplifiers this listening level control may be 
used in any position. Do not be concerned if, 
for instance, you have the control up at say, 3:00 o’clock or even all the way up. This 
does not stress the SLP 05 in any fashion. The SLP 05 is a Class A operating circuit and in 
reality is running at full potential at all times. The listening level control simply controls 
the input voltage level flow. 

 

10. INPUT LEVEL

 

These two individual controls are used for individual left and right channel balancing. 
In the full clockwise position these controls are basically out of the circuit and allow 
full input levels to flow to the listening level (volume) control potentiometer. 

 

11. HEADPHONES

 

Use dynamic 30-300 ohm headphones.
