10
The L-8000 DHT you have purchased is set internally for AC 110/120 volt – 60 HZ, or 220/230
volt – 50 Hz operation. There is no way to change this to another AC setting without return of
the unit to the factory for re-wiring, at the owner’s cost, including transport both directions.
C.
INPUTS
There are five (5) inputs. Line 1 and Line 2 are balanced connections (XLR type connectors). The
remaining 3 line inputs are RCA type single-ended connections. None of the inputs is intended
especially for connection to any particular device.
NO PHONO STAGE - The L-8000 DHT is a line stage preamplifier and does NOT have a built in
phono preamplifier section. You will need a phono preamplifier if you want to use a turntable
with the L-8000 DHT. You can connect your phono preamplifier to any of the five inputs,
provided you have the appropriate types of connections or adaptors.
The L-8000 DHT has been designed and manufactured to work most synergistically with Allnic
Audio phono preamplifiers, pre-preamplifiers, equalization and power amplification products,
and ZL Technology cables.
D.
OUTPUTS
The L-8000 DHT has three pairs of outputs. Two (2) output pairs are balanced (i.e., separate
ground), using XLR connectors; one (1) pair is unbalanced, using RCA type connectors.
On the back panel of the L-8000 DHT there is a switch to select either the balanced or single-
ended connections. This selection switch is at the top centre of the rear panel and labeled
“unbalanced output” (see Figure 2). Please set the output selection switch to the output
connection you are using. If you set the switch to “balanced” (i.e., XLR – switch pushed to the
right, looking from the rear) and then connect your cables to the RCA outputs (“main out 2”),
audible hum will be introduced.
You may use the balanced and single-ended RCA outputs at the same time; for example, if you
run one pair to your stereo amplifier and the other to a powered subwoofer (or a pair of them).
In such a case, set the output selection switch to unbalanced (RCA – switch pushed to the left).
This will avoid the introduction of hum.
E.
REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control provides the ability to remotely:
•
Select the line source input using either the numbered selector buttons (1 to 5) or the
channel up/down arrow buttons
(Please see Figure 3).
•
Control the volume level using the right (louder) and left (quieter) arrow buttons adjacent
to the channel arrow buttons.
•
Mute the volume using the button labeled “MUTE”. To raise the volume again after
muting, press the Mute button to take the volume level to where it was prior to muting. In
Mute mode, the light above the “operate” button on the front panel of the L-8000 DHT
will not be illuminated; it will illuminate when the L-8000 DHT is unmuted again.
•
Use the red power on/off button in the top left-hand corner of the remote control to
power the L-8000 DHT on and off.
