5 SE Headphone Jack. Plug in standard head-

phones here (with “standard” being defined as 

“most headphones with the typical 1/4” head-

phone plug you recognize, and if you have 1/8” 

plug headphones, you can use an adapter.”)
6 Balanced Headphone Jack. Plug in your fancy-

pants balanced headphones here, using a 4-pin 

male XLR plug conforming to the K1000 output 

jack wiring specification. Ensure no pins are 

shorted to each other or tied to ground, or bad 

things can happen.

1 Input Switch. If the name wasn’t clue enough, 

this selects the input. All the way up for the 

internal card (DAC or phono), middle for balanced 

input, bottom for SE input. Hint: if you don’t have 

a card installed, you won’t hear anything when the 

card is selected.
2 Gain Switch. Up is high gain, down is low.
3 Volume Knob. Turn it to the right to make the 

music louder. Stop before it hurts.
4 Power On LED. Do we really have to tell you 

what this one does?
