DIGITAL AUDIO PLAYER
Rear Panel Functions
The rear panel incorporates all the terminals for connecting the network audio stream
to the Toko, the output signal to your preamplifier, AV receiver or integrated amplifier
and connection to the mains supply.
Please remember that your Plinius Toko Digital Audio Player 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
Digital Audio Player.
1. OUTPUT TERMINALS
Connections for preamplifiers or integrated amplifiers are provided on the rear panel.
Connections are available for analogue single ended RCA, and balanced XLR cables,
Note that the only time the analogue outputs are ‘live’ is when the network mode is
active and when the Digital Audio Player is playing a track.
The XLR output pin configuration used in all Plinius products is:
PIN 1 to GND
PIN 2 to +Signal
PIN 3 to –Signal
NOTE: Because of the way balanced XLR outputs are configured it is not
recommended to connect both XLR and RCA at the same time.
2. 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 remove the connection from 0V to ground thus
allowing some flexibility in your particular set-up.
3. NETWORK INPUT CONNECTOR
The RJ45 connector allows connection to the Router or Computer Network Device.
This is a standard connector for use with CAT5 or CAT6 LAN cable.
