THE SP1 Rear Panel
INPUT AND OUTPUT Connections
1. Balanced and 2. Unbalanced Outputs
The SP1 offers both balanced and unbalanced outputs for
power amplifiers or powered loudspeaker systems.The type
you select to use will be determined by the input
configuration of your amplifiers or self-powered loudspeakers.
3. Analog Inputs
A paired stereo analog input with gold RCA jacks (labeled L
and R, for Left and Right) is provided for each source button
on the front panel.
The sensitivity of these Inputs is set to the industry standard
of 2 Vrms, which should accommodate the vast majority of
available source components. In Bypass mode, the input
sensitivity is equivalent to the BP-25 preamplifier.
4. Digital Audio Coaxial Inputs
The CD, Laser Disc, DVD and TV/Satellite front panel
selectable sources are also supplied with a standard SPDIF
gold RCA jack digital audio input.These four inputs will
accept any standard SPDIF source including DAT, CDR and
similar components.
5. TOSLINK Digital Audio Optical Inputs
The SP1 offers two assignable TOSLINK optical inputs.These
can be designated to any input using the OS menu on the
LCD screen. Please note that if you choose to assign an optical
input to an input with a coaxial input, the coaxial will be
over-ridden and the optical input signal will be used by the
SP1.The pro model replaces the two TOSLINK connectors
with a single AES/EBU connector.
