Setup:
Please read and understand the operational instructions and safety
issues associated with this product. We go through great effort to
make a soundly engineered, and supurbly performing product of
lasting duribility.
We understand that things infrequently go wrong, if you have any
questions or problems please contact either your dealer or the
factory, we are here to support the product and you, the user.
As with all audio electronics the power cable should be the last
thing attached and the first one removed any time you hook up or
remove equipment from the signal chain.
The preamplifier’s voltage and current rating are indicated by
affixed tag on the rear of the preamplifier. The preamplifier
typically draws 30 watts during operation. Please verify that the
indicated voltage requirement of this preamplifier is consistent with
the utility voltage at your location.
We have provided a standard IEC AC power cord that fits into
the IEC 320 line receptacle at the rear of the preamplifier chassis.
The preamplifier is equipped for operation with an earth ground
provided by the users AC outlet. Do not defeat this ground.
There are a total of five inputs. Two of the five inputs are balanced
XLR only. The other three inputs are single-ended only. There are
two pairs of outputs available with identical gain structure. One
pair Balanced, one pair single-ended.
Balanced inputs and outputs are via XLR connectors. Single-
ended inputs and outputs are via RCA connectors. On the XLR
connectors, pin 1 is grounded, pin 2 is the positive signal, and pin
3 is the negative signal. Left channel RCA connectors are marked
with “L”. Right channel RCA connectors are marked with “R”. In
a similar fashion balanced XLR inputs and outputs are marked with
“L” for left and “R” for right channel.
The main outputs are located at the left-hand side (viewed from
the rear) of the rear panel, two male XLR connectors, and two
RCA connectors, “R” (right) and “L” (left). The RCA connector’s
ground is in parallel with pin 1 of the XLR outputs and the RCA hot
is fed from an independent summing junction that maximizes the X
circuit benefits. The RCA, single-ended, outputs are buffered from
the balanced outputs. You may use both the single ended and
balanced outputs at the same time. On the XLR, pin 1 is ground,
pin 2 is positive, and pin 3 is negative.
