Rear Panel Description
1. RCA Analog Inputs
There is one set of RCA inputs on the back of the
Desktop Portable Amp. The analog inputs are where you will plug in your non-
digital source, such as a stationary or portable CD player. If your player has
an 1/8” line out plug, you will use a portable cable (mini-RCA); if it has an RCA
out (left and right) then you will use a link interconnect (RCA -RCA). See the
‘cables’ area in our website to purchase some of these cables.
2. 1/8” Analog Input
The 1/8” input is a typical line input connector. You
can connect your analog source by using a mini-mini cable from the line out
(or headphone jack) of your source into this connector.
3. Power Source Selector
To the right is the power source switch, which
allows you to select battery power or external power to run your Desktop Por-
table Amp. The amp will run on either four D-cell batteries or an external power
supply. We offer two power supplies: the less expensive version, lovingly
known as “brick”, power supply comes with the amp, the more expensive
Desktop Power Supply will give you cleaner juice, and therefore cleaner, more
dynamic sound.
4. +/- 15VDC Power Input
Plug in your power supply here. The ‘brick’
power supply included with the Desktop amp, as well as the Desktop Power
Supply, will use this connector. See pg 9 for more info on the Power Supply.
5. Battery Input
Connect the battery pack included with your Desktop Por-
table Amp here. The red battery pack included with the unit takes 4 D-cell
batteries and provides about 20 hours of play time, with the basic Desktop
Portable. Upgrading the module or adding the DAC reduces playtime.
