13 Aux2 Inputs
Operation of the unbalanced Aux2 input depends on the position of the Aux2 Function Switch.
With the switch set to ‘Line’ the volume control is enabled and accepts line level analogue audio signals from
source components with single-ended outputs such as iPods, tuners, phono stages and tape decks.
Note:
These inputs are for analogue audio signals only. They should not be connected to the digital
output of a CD player or any other digital device.
With the switch set to ‘HT’ the volume control is bypassed and accepts pre out analogue audio
signals from home theatre receivers and surround processors allowing the Audiant DP32 to be easily
integrated into a home theatre system. Please ensure the volume level of the connected processor is
suitably attenuated before selecting this input.
Caution:
When connecting a line level signal, make sure the Aux2 Function Switch is set to ‘Line’,
otherwise serious damage may occur to your amplifier and/or speakers.
14 Line Out
These unbalanced outputs provide a single-ended line level analogue audio signal, suitable for
recording the selected source input. The input should not be changed whilst recording.
15 Aux2 Function Switch
This switch is used to select ‘Line’ (normal) or ‘HT’ (home theatre loop) operation of the Aux2 input.
16 Balanced Preamplifier Outputs
The balanced (XLR) preamplifier outputs provide a balanced audio signal for connection directly to a
power amplifier (variable output mode) or to a preamplifier or integrated amplifier (fixed output mode).
The pin assignments of the balanced XLR output connectors are:
Pin 1: Shield
Pin 2: +ve signal (hot)
Pin 3: -ve signal (cold)
Please refer to the owner’s manual of your amplifier to verify that the pin assignments of the input
connectors correspond as above. If this is not the case, wire the cables so that the appropriate DP32
output pin connects to the equivalent amplifier input pin.
Note:
The balanced preamplifier outputs employ entirely separate buffer stages to the unbalanced
outputs, allowing both outputs to be used simultaneously without degrading the performance each
other. This is particularly useful when using a subwoofer or when bi-amping speakers.
17 Output Level Switch
This switch is used to select the output level of the preamplifier outputs.
‘Var’ (variable) output mode enables the volume control for use as a preamplifier and allows direct
connection to a power amplifier.
‘Fix’ (fixed) output mode bypasses the volume control for use as a stand-alone DAC and allows
connection to a separate preamplifier or an integrated amplifier.
Caution:
Do not connect the preamplifier outputs directly to a power amplifier when using fixed output
mode, serious damage may occur to your amplifier and/or speakers.
18 Unbalanced Preamplifier Outputs
The unbalanced (RCA) preamplifier outputs provide a single-ended audio signal for connection directly
to a power amplifier (variable output mode) or to a preamplifier or integrated amplifier (fixed output mode).
Note:
The unbalanced preamplifier outputs employ entirely separate buffer stages to the balanced
outputs, allowing both outputs to be used simultaneously without degrading the performance each
other. This is particularly useful when using a subwoofer or when bi-amping speakers.
