PLINIUS REFERENCE M-10
Product Features
REMOTE CONTROL
Provided with your Reference M-10 dual mono preamplifier is a 13 function remote
control. Two AAA batteries power the remote, and these are replaced by removing the
single screw on the base of the remote that holds the battery compartment in place.
Replace the two batteries, taking care to refit the new ones with correct polarity.
GROUND LIFT SWITCH
This switch allows the signal ground to be disconnected from the chassis. In some
installations a hum loop may exist due to duplicate ground paths from different
equipment. Use this switch to break the connection to 0V to ground thus allowing some
flexibility in your particular set-up.
GAIN SWITCH
The gain switch allows adjustment of the Lineamp amplification factor. High gain offers
a similar level to most preamplifiers, while low gain allows further improvement in
distortion levels and can assist where multiple instances of XLR connections result in too
much gain in the complete system.
LINE OUT
A Line Level output is provided to interface to headphone amplifiers, line level recording
devices for archiving, or other accessories that require a line level signal. The outputs are
always live with the signal of whichever source is selected at the time of listening.
REMOTE TRIGGER INPUT/OUTPUT SOCKETS
Remote Trigger Input and Output sockets allow the system components to be connected
in a ‘daisy chain’ arrangement for semi automated operation. This allows a master
component to activate and deactivate standby mode of the other components connected.
Two trigger output sockets are provided for use with monoblock amplifiers or other
additional components.
REMOTE IR INPUT
This socket is for connecting to an external remote control sender. Some companies
manufacture these devices to enable multi-room remote control. Please see your Plinius
dealer for further advice.
MAINS/LINE FUSE
A Mains/Line fuse is fitted within the IEC socket on the rear of the preamplifier. A small
drawer at the bottom of this socket may be removed (after the IEC plug is removed) by
levering it out with a flat blade screwdriver. The fuse fitted should be rated as specified on
the rear panel.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT FIT A FUSE WITH A HIGHER RATING.
