amplifier with an input impedance of 10k ohms or higher. Since the line
stage of the Evolution 20 inverts phase, it may be necessary to invert
the speaker leads to maintain correct absolute phase. See the section
on "Getting the most out of your Evolution 20" for an explanation of this.

USE OF EXTERNAL TONE CONTROLS OR OTHER
EXTERNAL SIGNAL PROCESSING DEVICES:

Use Tape 1 and Record 1 for your tape recorder. Connect the output of
the tone controls to Tape 2 and the input of the tone controls to Record
2. To use the tone controls, select Tape 2 on the Source Selector and
use the Record Selector to select phono, tuner, cd or tape 1. By
selecting the input directly on the source selector, the tone control
processor will be bypassed.
