5.1.5. 

Unregulated output (fixed) 

The unregulated output supplies an output signal at line level 0.7 V at approximately the 
same magnitude as a modern CD player. 
This  output  is  intended  for  connection  to  line-level  inputs  on  a  preamplifier/integrated 
amplifier. 

5.1.6. 

OUT 1 diagrams 

Interfering signal, regulated output, 
Volume control at “0” 

The signal-to-noise ratio of the regulated output is extremely high at -136 dB/1 kHz.
