PHONO CONNECTION
Attach the earth connection of the tonearm lead to one of
the binding posts above the PH1 and PH2 inputs. The connection should be secure
but not overtight. Depending on which type of cartridge you have, connect the
tonearm lead phono plugs into the sockets marked either PH1-MM for a moving
magnet cartridge or PH2-MC for a moving coil cartridge.
TUNER/CH/AUX
These sockets can be used for connecting a tuner, CD player and
auxiliary source (eg video) respectively.
TAPE INPUTS/OUTPUTS
The KAIRN provides for two tape decks. The TAPE 1 IN
socket on the pre-amplifier should be connected to the output of tape deck 1 (for
recording). Tape deck 2 should be connected to the TAPE 2 sockets in the same
way.
The KAIRN has three identical stereo line outputs to enable the connection of up to
three power amplifiers in your hi-fi system thereby avoiding the need for adapter
cables.
Select a line output and,using the interconnect leads provided, connect the left
output on the pre-amplifier to the left input on the power amplifier, and the right
output on the pre-amplifier to the right input on the power amplifier.
NOTE When connecting to a Linn LK280 Power Amplifier ensure with each XLR plug
that the key in the plug and the slot in the socket are correctly aligned before pushing
into place.
Additional power amplifiers should be connected in the same way using the other
line outputs.
NOTE The KAIRN inverts the phase of the signal to the power amplifier. Therefore
connect the positive output of the power amplifier to the negative (black)
loudspeaker terminal, and the negative output to the positive (red) loudspeaker
terminal.
