Connecting to other equipment
The GamuT CD 3 features three types of outputs:
Outputs
Balanced Left and right analog output
Unbalanced Left and right anlog output
Coaxial S-PDIF output
XLR pin connection of the balanced in- and outputs
Ground
Positive
Negative
Some other brands have Pin # 2 and 3 reversed.
They will work together with your CD 3, but the absolute phase will be reversed. You can solve this by
reversing the wires in the male plug of your balanced interconnects.
The coaxial digital output has a little switch attached to it, which makes it possible to terminate
the output with a load 75 ohm when not in use. Simply push the lever up when it is not connected
and down towards “open” when you wish to connect the CD 3 to a separate D/A converter or digital
recorder.
The 75 ohm termination will ensure optimal load of the digital output circuit when not in use. It will
improve the quality of the internal digital signal that gets converted in the internal D/A converter.
Please refeer to the section “technical quality” for output level and impedances.
If you like all the outputs has its own circuitry and buffers, which enables the possibility of using all
the outputs at the same time. So If you need to connect the CD player with f.ex. two ampli
fi
ers in
two different room or setups, you can use the balanced for one and the unbalanced the second.
