Figure 1  Metis Preamp

INSTALLING THE METIS INTO YOUR SYSTEM

Connecting Metis to other components:

Connections are made on the rear panel of the preamplifier and are shown in
Figure 2. The input connections for source material are made via RCA jacks.
There are three line level inputs including CD and two auxiliary inputs. There is
also one input for a phonograph. A five-way lug is provided for grounding the
turntable to the preamplifier.

The outputs are arranged to the right of the input jacks.  The variable output is
controlled by the volume control and should be connected to the power amplifier.
The fixed output is not controlled by the volume control and is used for tape
recording.

Be sure to use high quality interconnect cables as they do make a difference
