NOTE: if you switch on when Musiteca is already active, this take about 30 second for tubes warm up. After this period
you can hear a click who signal that analog outputs are active.
Digital output is always active.
9-10) Uscita bilanciata:
Connect a pair of audio XLR-type connecting cords (not supplied) from the outputs of your Musiteca to corresponding
inputs of your pre-amplifier, integrated amplifier or receiver. As to get correct stereo imaging, double-check Right
output is connected to Right input and Left output is connected to Left input.
Whenever available in your amplifier, balanced connection is highly recommended not only in order to minimize noise,
but
also to take advantage for the superior signal management of this technology.
Associated with the Musiteca, Pathos high end amplifiers are real balanced designs that allow you to build an entirely
balanced system, from the source to the speakers.
11) Uscita sbilanciata:
Connect a pair of audio RCA-type connecting cords (not supplied) from the outputs of your Musiteca to corresponding
inputs of your pre-amplifier, integrated amplifier or receiver.
As to get correct stereo imaging, make sure to match the colour code: Red (right) to Red and White (left) to White.
12-13) uscita digitale
Two digital outputs are provided to allow you to connect your Musiteca to an audio component equipped with digital
inputs, such as a D/A converter. By providing this kind of connection, the Musiteca’s built-in D/A converter is
bypassed. Being the quality of the Musiteca internal D/A converter unparalleled, we do not recommend to operate this
kind of connection.
Nevertheless, we provide this option so that in the future, would a better D/A conversion technology become available,
you will be able to take advantage of it and your Musiteca will not become obsolete.
Digital connections are also suitable to connecting your Musiteca to digital recorders such as DAT, MD or others.
Connect a digital coaxial cable (not supplied) from the output of your Musiteca (13) to corresponding input of your
component.
Connect a digital XLR cable (not supplied) from the output of your Musiteca (12) to corresponding input of your
