INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER
Rear Panel Functions
This panel incorporates all terminals for connecting the input signals from your CD player,
tuner, etc and the outputs to the loudspeakers and mains supply. Please remember that
your Plinius Hiato Integrated Amplifier is a high quality electronic instrument capable
of an exceptional level of performance. Be sure that you understand your system’s
requirements fully before you make any connection to this amplifier.
1. INPUT TERMINALS
The input terminals for your Plinius Hiato Integrated Amplifier are easily accessible
along the rear panel, with the right (red) inputs along the top. The phono inputs (if
installed) are suitable only for low level input phono turntables, while the rest are all
line level inputs, for use with signals from line level source components such as CD
players, tuners, VCR’s etc. Consult your Plinius dealer for further advice if required.
2. XLR INPUT TERMINALS
The CD, Line 1 and HT Bypass inputs also have an additional set of line level XLR
balanced inputs for use with source components that feature XLR balanced outputs.
Balanced signals are carried via a three way cable.
The XLR pin configuration used in all Plinius product is:
PIN 1 to GND
PIN 2 to +Signal
PIN 3 to -Signal
NOTE: Because of the way Plinius balanced inputs are configured it is not possible to
connect to both XLR and RCA at the same time for use.
3. INPUT SELECTION SWITCH
This switch, located with each of the CD, Line 1 and HT Bypass inputs, is used to
select the pair of CD input sockets required as described above. Up selects the RCA
input connections for use, while down selects XLR input.
