5. Connecting and Powering the Unit
WARNING: All connections between the
EVO PHONODAC TWO
EVO PHONODAC TWO EVO PHONODAC TWO
EVO PHONODAC TWO
and other equipment
must be made when all units are turned off and completely powered down or
unplugged. Failing to do so may cause damage to the
EVO PHONODAC TWO EVO PHONODAC TWO EVO PHONODAC TWO EVO PHONODAC TWO
and/or
other units.
Please refer to chapter 3, “Back Panel”.
Connect the
EVO PHONODAC TWO
to a computer with a 2.0 A-B USB cable connected to
the USB port (Fig. 2,8). We recommend the cable be no longer than 3m.
If you also own the
EVO CLOCK TWO
, connect its master clock output to the
EVO
PHONODAC TWO
external clock input (Fig. 2, 6) with a 75 Ohms BNC-terminated cable
(not in stock). It is also possible to use other clock generators, whereas their output is able
to drive 75 Ohms matched lines.
If the
EVO CLOCK TWO
is not used and a digital source needs to be connected instead,
connect the latter’s digital output to
EVO PHONODAC TWO
S/PDIF input (Fig. 2, 6), using a
digital interconnect terminated with an RCA plug on one side and a BNC plug on the other
side, or use an RCA digital interconnect and an RCA-to-BNC adapter on the
EVO
PHONODAC TWO
side.
If the
EVO CLOCK TWO
is used, connect its clock info optical input to the
EVO PHONODAC
TWO
clock info output (Fig. 2, 9) using a Toslink™ fibre interconnect (not in stock) to make
the
EVO CLOCK TWO
clock switching automatic.
Connect the output of an analog source to the
EVO PHONODAC TWO
analog input (Fig. 2,
10) using a stereo analog interconnect terminated with RCA.
When the analog source is low level or whenever the best signal-to-noise ratio is required,
connect the source chassis/earth post to the
EVO PHONODAC TWO
chassis post (Fig. 2, 5).
This is also useful to connect the
EVO PHONODAC TWO
chassis to an earth connection, to
avoid floating voltages injecting noise in the signal.
Connect the input of an analog device to the
EVO PHONODAC TWO
analog output (Fig. 2,
11) using a stereo analog interconnect terminated with RCA.
Connect the stock wall wart or one of the
EVO SUPPLY TWO
outputs to the supply input of
the
EVO PHONODAC TWO
(Fig. 2, 4).
NOTE: the
EVO PHONODAC TWO EVO PHONODAC TWO EVO PHONODAC TWO EVO PHONODAC TWO
cannot be powered by the USB bus 5V supply,
therefore a power supply or adaptor is always needed.
WARNING: the maximum voltage allowed by the
EVO PHONODAC TWO EVO PHONODAC TWO EVO PHONODAC TWO EVO PHONODAC TWO
at its supply
connector is 15V. Whenever a power supply delivering more than 15V is used, the
EVO PHONODAC TWO EVO PHONODAC TWO EVO PHONODAC TWO EVO PHONODAC TWO
may be damaged. Should this be the case, the warranty is void
and servicing or replacement of the faulty unit will be charged to the user.
