REAR PANEL DESCRIPTION

 ¼" INPUT connector.

 This ¼" tip-ring-sleeve (TRS) connector parallels the XLR connector described below. Tip is positive, 

ring is negative and sleeve is shield. Tip-sleeve (TS) cables will often work if the cables are short (under 10 feet [3 meters]). See the 

Sound System Interconnection

 RaneNote included with this manual for correct wiring.

 XLR INPUT connector.

 Pin 2 is positive, pin 3 is negative and pin 1 is shield. For unbalanced operation, use pin 2 as hot and 

pin 1 as return. It is not necessary to connect pin 3.

 RCA Phono INPUT connector

 provides for convenient hook-up to unbalanced products (but not directly to phono’s).

This ¼" TRS connector parallels the XLR connector described below. As before, tip is hot, ring is cold 

and sleeve is shield.

IMPORTANT NOTE

CHASSIS GROUNDING

If after hooking up your system it exhibits excessive hum or buzzing, there is an incompatibility in the grounding configuration 

between units somewhere. Your mission, should you accept it, is to discover how your particular system wants to be grounded. Here 

are some things to try:

1. Try combinations of lifting grounds on units that are supplied with ground lift switches or links.

2. If your equipment is in a rack, verify that all chassis are tied to a good earth ground, either through the line cord grounding pin or 

the rack screws to another grounded chassis.

3. Units with outboard power supplies do NOT ground the chassis through their line cords. Make sure these units are grounded 

either to another chassis which is earth grounded, or directly to the grounding screw on an AC outlet cover by means of a wire 

connected to a screw on the chassis with a star washer to guarantee proper contact.

4. See the 

Sound System Interconnection
