3. How to Properly Connect the Rear Ports and Cables

3-1. Connecting the Analog Input Port to the Power Amplifier

•  As shown in the figure below, you can connect the analog output port of the source device to the analog audio input (Balanced/Line 1 - 3) of this 

product.

•  For the analog audio input sensitivity of Lines 1, 2, and 3 this product, export a maximum output of stereo 200 W (8 Ω) / BTL 400 W (8 Ω) at up to 1 

Vrms (2.218 ㏈u).

•  For the balance analog audio input sensitivity of this product, export a maximum output of stereo 200 W (8 Ω) / BTL 400 W (8 Ω) at up to 2 Vrms 

(8.23 ㏈u).

•  After connecting the cables, connect the power cable. There may be a risk of electric shock.

 

Caution: 

Before connecting this product to a power amplifier, set the volume of the product to mute or below level 5, and then connect it using an RCA 

cable. If you connect the cable while the product is playing music at a high volume, a loud shock sound may occur.

•  The XLR jack connection configuration polarity is shown below.
