Mains Power Input on Nu-Vista PRE PSU

 

Check the Nu-Vista PRE 

PSU back panel mains switch is set to “OFF”. Connect the supplied mains lead to 

the 16A IEC socket on the back panel. Connect the other end to a mains power socket. Be sure to leave the 
mains switch in the “OFF” position.  

 

CONTROL, LH and RH Power from Nu-Vista PRE PSU to Nu-Vista PRE pre-amplifier unit 

Connect the 4-pin XLR cable between the CONTROL output on the Nu-Vista PRE PSU and the CONTROL 
input on the Nu-Vista PRE pre-amplifier. 
Connect both 5-pin XLR cables between the LH POWER & RH POWER outputs on the Nu-Vista PRE PSU 
and the LH POWER & RH POWER inputs on the Nu-Vista PRE pre-amplifier. There are powering the pre-
amp stages. 

Important notes:  

Only switch the Nu-Vista PRE PSU on once ALL connections are made. 

Only connect or disconnect power cables when the ON/OFF switch on the Nu-Vista PRE PSU 
is set to OFF! 

If the LH and RH POWER cables are wrongly or not connected, the Nu-Vista PRE display will 
show 

“Output DC present” and mute the unit. Turn the Nu-Vista PRE and then the PSU off and 

check the cables again. 

 

Trigger Input and Output 

Triggering  input  and  outputs  are  available  to  allow  the  amplifier  to  be  turned  on  automatically  by  other 
equipment or turn on other equipment automatically when the Nu-Vista PPRE is turned on. This is a 2-way 
3.5mm jack on the back of the unit labelled “TRIGGER”. It requires 5 to 12V (either polarity) to switch the 
amplifier on. 
 

Mounting optional Spike Feet 

The  Nu-Vista  PRE  and  PRE  PSU  can  optionally  be  used  with  spike feet. We  recommend  to  ask  a  second 
person to help you lift the amplifier and PSU units for mounting the feet or felt pads. 
If you want to use the standard mounted feet, you can attach the big felt pads to those feet (remove the small 
rubber feet first if necessary). 
To mount the spike feet, screw the threaded rods into the spike feet so that the allen key side is inside the foot 
(this  way,  when  you  want  to  remove  the  foot  from  the  amplifier  again,  you  can  unscrew  the  foot  and  then 
unscrew the threaded rod from the amplifier with an allen key, should it be too tight to unscrew by hand). Then 
screw the feet into the amplifier (remove the small rubber feet first if necessary). Attach the small felt pads to 
the bottom of the spike feet cups and place these cups under the spike feet.
