Physical Placement
It is recommended that you provide open space above the unit for proper ventilation, with
no electronic components placed directly overhead.
Mount the unit on a hard surface with proper ventilation underneath. Avoid placing the
unit directly on a carpeted floor.
Connecting the VK-150SE to Your System
For Balanced Preamplifiers:
Use balanced XLR interconnects. The input connectors are clearly marked on the back
panel of the VK-150SE. Either the one marked “Left” or “Right” can be used.
Note: The VK-150SE XLR inputs are wired as follows:
Pin 1:
common/shield
Pin 2:
positive
Pin 3:
negative
For Single-Ended Preamplifiers:
Single-ended preamplifiers have RCA connectors. The VK-150SE power amplifier is
designed to work with either balanced or single-ended preamplifiers connected to its inputs.
All that is required to connect a single-ended preamplifier with RCA connectors to the
VK-150SE’s inputs is the optional balanced to single-ended adapters. These adapters are
available from Balanced Audio Technology at a nominal charge.
For Speaker Connections:
The speaker connectors are clearly marked on the back panel of the VK-150SE. There
are several sets of output taps marked LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH for connecting a
variety of speakers to the VK-150SE. Please note that some experimentation may be
required. Try each output tap until you find the one that gives the most balanced
performance in your system
.
NOTE: Either the Left or the Right set of binding posts can be used with the same
results. Both can be used at the same time in a bi-wire configuration.
