Headphone Connection
TAURUS MKII is designed to well match all modern dynamic headphones with either
6.35mm stereo headphone jack (TRS jack) or 4PIN balanced XLR jack. Please make sure
the plug is seated for a solid connection.
The pin wiring for 6.35mm jack is: tip=left channel, ring=right channel, sleeve=ground. Pin
wiring for 4PIN XLR jack is: pin1=left positive, pin2=left ground/negative, pin3=right posi-
tive, pin4=right ground/negative.
Don’t use mono 6.35mm plug (TS plug)!
A mono 6.35mm plug (TS plug) will create a short connection; this will
destroy the ORFEO output module in TAURUS MKII! Double check that
you use 6.35mm stereo plugs when you connect headphones.
Burn-in period and Warm-up
As the same with the other audio components, TAURUS MKII requests at least 100 hours
music signal burn-in to achieve its designed performance; the sonic will be in best after
500 hours music signal burn-in.
Since TAURUS MKII is working in Class-A, it need regular warm-up before it can sound
best for enjoyment. The warm-up time depend on room temperature which should be-
tween 30 to 60 minutes.
