All of the inputs are line level inputs. If a turntable is to be connected, a separate RIAA ampli
fi
er
must used in between the turntable and the DI 150. You can use any of the inputs you like.
The HTH input also features a “direct” function. Please refer to the section “how to operate”
The DI 150 also features two sets of balanced inputs. We follow the international IEC standard for the
balanced connections; please ensure that the connected equipment complies with the following:
Pin connection of the XLR.
Ground
1.
Positive
2.
Negative
3.
Some other brands have Pin 2 and 3 reversed. They will work, but the absolute phase will be reversed.
You can solve this by reversing the wires in the male plug of your balanced interconnects.
The two balanced inputs can be used for any balanced signal source such as a CD player or a separate
D/A converter. You can also use them with a pair of RCA female/XLR male adapters for further con-
nection of unbalanced sources.
Please note that the adapters are not included in the standard packing, but are available at the deal-
ers.
Outputs
What goes in must come out!
The DI150 offers you plenty of options when connecting:
One pair of unbalanced signal line out
•
One pair of balanced signal line out
•
One Tape out
•
One pair of speaker out
•
The unbalanced and the balanced line out, enable you to connect the DI150 to an external power
ampli
fi
er to either bi-amp or drive a second set of loudspeakers. You can also use the line out to feed
an active subwoofer. In any case; the signal of the output follows the selected level and source.
The Tape out is intended to be used for an analogue recording device. It has a
fi
xed level that follows
the actual input level with unity gain.
It also has its own buffer ampli
fi
er, so that the recording device load does not disturb the main signal
path.
