OFF TAPE MONITORING
In conjunction with a 3-head cassette deck,
off-tape monitoring allows the user to
compare the recorded to original sound
whilst a recording is made. To do this,
first select the required source in the nor-
mal way and start recording. The Tape
Monitor button on the front panel can now
be used to switch between the source sig-
nal and the recorded signal allowing direct
comparison.
When the tape monitor button is in then
tape monitor is selected.
Note that tape (the recorded signal) is
selected when the button is in. On some
3-head cassette decks there is an additional
'tape/source' switch which will need to be
in the 'tape' position for the above to work
If you are in any doubt consult your tape
machine's manual.

PREAMP OUTPUT
The Nu-Vista M
3
has a permanently
active preamp output situated on the back
panel. This provides extra flexibility for
use in multi-room or surround-sound sys-
tems etc. This signal comes from the Nu-
Vista M
3
's internal preamp and its output
level is thus controlled by the front panel
volume control.
This output allows easy connection to an
other power amplifier for bi-amping appli-
cations.
To bi-amp (which requires bi-wireable
speakers) an extra amplifier/amplifiers is
attached to this permanent preamp output.
The Nu-Vista M
3
's built in power amps
can then for instance drive the left and
right channel bass units.whilst a pair of X-
A200s (for example) drive the left and
right channel tweeters
Passive bi-amping in this way can give
noticeable gains in clarity, imaging and
bass weight.

source with the source selector button on
the front panel. The selected source will
now be sent to the 'Tape Record' output for
recording by the attached tape machine.
You will also be able to hear the selected
source through the loudspeakers.
Note - you can adjust the listening level
with the volume control without affecting
the recording level.
