Connections

Input Connectors

The LS28 provides eight pairs of input 

connectors; four balanced and four single-

ended, labeled BAL 1-4 and SE 1-4.

Output Connectors

Two pairs of BAL/SE main outputs are 

provided. The outputs are connected 

in parallel. If using both outputs 

simultaneously, the combined input 

impedance of the amplifier(s) being 

driven by the LS28 must be greater 

than or equal to 20k Ohms. 

Record Output

The record output should be connected to 

your recorder’s ‘Record’ or ‘Line’ inputs.  

These outputs provide a fixed-level two-

channel signal (left and right) to your 

recorder from whichever input is selected.  

The non-variable output level will be the 

same as the output of the selected source.

It is possible to dub or copy from one 

recorder to another by connecting the 

output of the source recorder to an unused 

set of stereo inputs.  The signal will then 

be routed to the Record Out connectors 

when that input source is selected.

Warning

Do not connect the record output directly to 

an amplifier. This will send full output (with 

no volume attenuation) to the amplifier(s), 

and could cause serious serious damage 

to the amplifier(s) or loudspeakers.

A.C. Power Connection

It is important that the LS28 be connected 

via its supplied 15 amp IEC 14-gauge 

power cord to a secure, dedicated A.C. 

power receptacle. Never connect to 

convenience power receptacles on 

other equipment. Only use the power 

switch on the front of the LS28 for On/

Off control of the preamplifier, or the 

IR input, RS232 or remote control.

RS-232 Input

The RS-232 input allows connection of 

a control or automation system.

IR Input

The IR input allows a remote IR sensor 

or repeater system to be connected to 

the LS28 for control purposes, utilizing 

a standard mono 1/8” connector.

12V Trigger Out

The +12V DC trigger out jack provides 

the ability to remotely turn on and off 

other linked components such as power 

amplifiers having similar capabilities.

Important

Use the best available speaker wires 

and interconnects. Audio Research 

cannot emphasize this enough. As 

better components and systems are 

developed, it becomes increasingly 

important to avoid the limitations of 

inferior system interconnections.

It is important sonically that your entire 

system be connected so that the audio 

signal arriving at the speakers has correct, 

or ‘absolute’ polarity (i.e., non-inverted).
