CONNECTING YOUR PREAMPLIFIER
Setting up your preamplifier is rather easy.
1. Please refer to page 7 diagram 2 for an illustration of the back of the preamplifier.
2. There are two sets of main outputs, one set UNBALANCED RCA
and the other BALANCED XLR. The pin out for the XLR is as follows:
PIN1 - ground
PIN2 - POSITIVE going phase (+)
PIN3 - NEGATIVE going phase (-).
Connect either (or both for bi-amping) the XLR or RCA output to the input of your ampli-
fier as required.
3. UNBALANCED inputs are found on RCA jack inputs and can be connected to any line
level sources devices.
4. A pair of 3 pin BALANCED XLR INPUT is standard and can be used with a balanced
source. The pin out for the XLR is as follows:
PIN1 - ground
PIN2 - POSITIVE going phase (+)
PIN3 - NEGATIVE going phase (-).
5. The record output is not buffered and it is recommended that one have the tape feed
plugged into the REC OUT only when actually recording. Care should be used when
using a 3-head tape/monitor switch as this recout is not a tape loop.
5. On the left end of the back panel is a standard IEC mains connector. This should be
connected to a standard 120 or 240 volt outlet.
6. Be certain that the voltage selector switch located next to the IEC mains socket is set
for your voltage!!!
7. Power up the preamplifier FIRST and allow it to settle for a minimum of 30 seconds
before powering up your amplifiers. Turn off your preamplifier and source components
LAST when powering down a system.
