X-
DREI
<9>
Alternative connection
There is another way to connect the X-DREI into your current stereo system, indicated in the
illustration above, although it is generally less efficient than the previous way. It inserts the
X-DREI between a source and preamp. It is not necessary that the source has a volume
control.
You may wish to connect it this way for various reasons, including:
•
Do not want any of your sources to be directed to the DREI (although you can always
turn it off thanks to its internal bypass).
•
You want to set a different soundstage in each source.
•
To enhance the sound with several X-DREI, both on the inputs and the outputs.
•
To send a source to two preamplifiers.
•
To have a headphone amplifier from a single source.
•
To get an extra output for recording.
At the input you can connect any source whether transistor or valve from any manufacturer.
Remember that this device does not have any gain or volume control, so the volume level of
the output is the same as the input.
Do not connect in this way, unless the connected source has a volume control,
directly to an amplifier or the sound will be very loud and could damage your speakers .
