XSP-1
Connections
Connecting line level unbalanced sources to your XSP-1
Line level unlabalanced sources should be connected to one of the four unbalanced inputs
(Input 1 through Input 4).
Connecting line level balanced sources to your XSP-1
Line level balanced sources should be connected to one of the two balanced inputs
(Balanced 1 and Balanced 2).
Connecting a turntable to your XSP-1
The outputs from the phono cartridge on a turntable should be connected to the Phono
Input on the XSP-1. If a ground lead is provided, it should be connected to the Phono
Ground terminal on the XSP-1.
The Moving Coil / Moving Magnet selector must be set to the correct position for your
particular phono cartridge. If you use a Moving Coil cartridge, then the MC Impedance
Selector switch should be set to the correct value for your cartridge.
Connecting a stereo amplifier to your XSP-1
Connect the Main Outputs from the XSP-1 to the inputs of your power amplifier. Both
balanced and unbalanced outputs carry the same signal and are both always active. If
your amplifier offers both types of inputs, a balanced connection is preferred and will offer
greater immunity to noise and slightly lower distortion.
If the Full Range / High Pass selector is set to Full Range, then the Main Outputs will carry
a full range audio signal. If the selector is set to High Pass, then the Main Outputs will carry
only the higher frequency portion of the audio spectrum, and the crossover point will be
determined by the setting of the High Pass Crossover Frequency adjustment.
Connecting a powered subwoofer to your XSP-1
If you have a single subwoofer, it should be connected to the Subwoofer Summed Output
on the XSP-1; if you have two (stereo) subwoofers, they should be connected to the Left
and Right Subwoofer Outputs.
If the Full Range / Low Pass selector is set to Full Range, then the Subwoofer Outputs
will carry a full range audio signal. If the selector is set to Low Pass, then the Subwoofer
Outputs will carry only the lower frequency portion of the audio spectrum, and the crossover
point will be determined by the setting of the Low Pass Crossover Frequency adjustment.
