CONNECTION OF THE SOURCE EQUIPMENT
You can connect one or two devices with analogue stereo high level output such as a CD player in order
to provide the audio signals of your input sources to the system. The output sockets on the source equip-
ment are usually named “LINE OUT”, “AUDIO OUT” or “FRONT OUT”. You will find information about
ways to connect source equipment in the operating manuals that come with the equipment. The audio
inputs “AUX” and “CD” (8) represent electrically equivalent standard high level inputs with RCA connec-
tion. They have an identical function and differ only in name.
CD player, tuner, etc.
LINE OUT
General hints:
To use a record player you need a so-called phono preamplifier (also called a equaliser preamplifier),
which is installed in the signal path between the record player and one of the high-level inputs. Some
models of record player already include this preamplifier and can be connected directly. You will find
further information in this appliance’s operating manual.
The stereo sound of appliances that use output connectors other than RCA (DIN plugs, jack plugs) can
often also be used with the aid of adaptors.
RCA connection
CONNECTION OF ONE OR MORE MAIN AMPLIFIERS
The preamplifier KHV-1 has one stereo preamplifier output with RCA connectors (7) for the connection to
the main amplifier(s). The stereo audio signal (R, L) is output at this RCA socket pair. So you have the opti-
on to connect one stereo main amplifier or two mono main amplifiers to supply up to two loudspeakers.
The main amplifier(s) connected there supply the system’s loudspeakers and the loudspeakers are connec-
ted to the outputs of these. Connect the output sockets in the field “PRE OUT” with the RCA input sockets of
the main amplifier channels (often marked as “INPUT” or “POWER AMP IN”). For this you need RCA cable.
The following drawing shows the connection of two mono main amplifiers (e.g. Vincent SP-997).
