Preamp Owner’s Manual
You can place this pre-amplifier anywhere you wish but it is
suggested that you choose it’s placement in such a way that input
cables can be short, neatly dressed and away from AC power lines.
You may stack the X
s
Preamp power supply and control chassis,
however performance of this product will be enhanced if some
distance separates power supply chassis and control chassis.
Alternately the two chassis may be arraigned in a side-by-side
configuration, separated by no less than 15 cm roughly 6 inches for
lowest noise and best performance.
As previously indicated each X
s
Preamp consists of two independent
chassis connected to each other by twin umbilical cable terminated
at both ends with a powerCON connector. The connector should
never be attached or removed from either chassis with the power
supply chassis attached to mains power.
Once the X
s
Preamp chassis are placed in their physical location you
may start making input and output connections, you may wish to
reference the following section Physical Description and Operation.
The signal connection may be either single ended (RCA) or balanced
(XLR), choose one or the other.
If running single ended please verify that a jumper is installed
between pins 1 and 3 of the XLR. Proper placement is shown on
silkscreen on the back of the Xs-preamp control chassis.
Pin 1 XLR - Signal Ground
Pin 2 XLR - Plus signal
Pin 3 XLR - Minus signal (Inverted)
