BALANCED INPUTS (CONTINUED)
All Classé preamplifiers and amplifiers are configured as above. Some preamplifiers from other
manufacturers have PIN-3 set as the positive or “HOT” side. If this is true of your preamplifier, and
you wish to maintain absolute phase throughout your system, the interconnects must have the wire
which is connected to PIN-3 at the preamplifier output end switched to PIN-2 at the amplifier input
end and the wire which is connected to PIN-2 at the preamplifier output switched to PIN-3 at the
amplifier input end.
Having confirmed the correct connections, plug the
XLR
connectors of the balanced
interconnects into the locking
XLR
connectors on the rear panel of the
P-203.
Push the connectors in
until the locking mechanism clicks. (To remove the connectors, press the tab above the connector
while pulling gently on the connector body.)
MONO OPERATION
As stated above, either the regular or balanced inputs can be used in stereo or mono.
Connect a single interconnect, either regular or balanced, to the left channel input of each amplifier.
See the "Mono" section above for complete details.
NOTE: Neither the Stereo-Mono
switch nor
the
REGULAR/ BALANCED
switch will operate while the amplifier is turned on
. You will NOT be
able to change from one mode to the other, as these modes are “locked” while the amplifier is on.
