2.4.2 Unbalanced Input Connections
When using an unbalanced input source and connector, a jumper must
be added between the negative (-) terminals and the ground terminals.
Once this has been done, the unbalanced source can be connected to
the positive (+) and ground terminals. Please refer to the manual of
your input source in case it does not follow the standard pin-out. For
your convenience, pre-wired connectors are available for purchase, see
the next page for details.

to sum them to mono. It is highly recommended that you
purchase the pre-wired connectors mentioned on the next
page. Damage to source equipment can result from the
Pre-wired unbalanced connectors are available for purchase from Stew-
art Audio. These will allow for a quicker installation with less room for
error when connecting the CVA Series amplifier to an unbalanced
source. The summing adapters will properly sum a stereo source for
use with the mono input on the rear of the amplifier without causing
sound cancellation. Part numbers are found below the diagrams.
